Headaches After A Car Accident? How Orthopedic Treatment Can Help!

LinkedInFacebookInstagramXPinterestYoutube

Headaches are common among car accident victims for a variety of reasons. Some accident victims who already experience frequent headaches may notice increased frequency and pain after a collision occurs. Others may not experience any symptoms for several days or weeks after a car accident takes place. If you do suffer from frequent, painful headaches after a car crash, connecting with an Atlanta Orthopedic Doctor can help determine the source of your pain, as well as treat the symptoms.

Car Accidents and Headaches

Car accident victims are vulnerable to headaches for many reasons. Hitting your head against a steering wheel or dashboard can cause significant inflammation or pressure that results in painful headaches. For those who are not involved in high-impact car accidents, tension headaches may occur as a result of stress and anxiety and may require an auto accident doctor. 

Types of Car Accident Headaches Treated By Atlanta’s Orthopedic Doctors

There are many different types of headaches that can appear after a car accident. If you are involved in a crash, contact AICA Orthopedics right away for an examination and treatment.

Orthopedic Treatment For Post-Traumatic Headaches

Often the result of significant head trauma, post-traumatic headaches usually do not appear for several days or weeks after a collision occurs. To reduce painful symptoms, Orthopedic Doctors can alleviate tension and inflammation through a series of manual adjustments and massage therapy.

Orthopedic Treatment For Post-Concussive Headaches

Concussions refer to injuries that affect the brain and are often caused by significant or violent blows to the head. Migraines are common among car accident victims who suffer concussions due to the type of chemical reaction that occurs when your head is confronted with blunt trauma. Using similar techniques that help address post-traumatic headaches, our Atlanta Orthopedic Doctors can treat common symptoms such as:

  • Nausea
  • Light and sound sensitivity
  • Memory loss
  • Mood fluctuations
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Insomnia
  • Tinittus

 

Whiplash Headaches

Whiplash is the most common car accident injury because of how sensitive and fragile the tendons that surround the neck are. Whiplash headaches often occur near the base of the skull and are associated with inflammation, confusion, and fatigue. Many car accident victims who experience whiplash headaches do not notice symptoms for several days. It is possible to prevent pain by having one of our Orthopedic Doctors provide a complete examination immediately after a collision takes place.

Yesterday was my last day at AICA College Park since my accident in December, there is so much to say about the people who work here and the level of customer service, care, attention, friendliness, and overall amazing atmosphere that they provide. Location is perfect in College Park, right off the highway and in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The entire staff, from the front desk girls, to the physical therapy girls, to the chiros, and the medical team are AMAZING! I feel like I just lost my friends not being able to visit them twice a week every week. I will definitely miss coming here. All the smiles and warm welcomes received. The physical therapy - asking about my day, if everything is okay and helping my back and neck get better. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Hector as my chiropractor, he is awesome, was very helpful in the healing process and also a native Spanish speaker which is a plus for those of us who do speak Spanish. Before coming to AICA, I tried another injury clinic in ATL and walked out after 5 mins - so impersonal and cold. I am so glad that I found AICA in College Park. Trust me, if you are injured and need some healing and TLC you NEED to come to this clinic! Highly recommend to everyone. Thank you again to the guys and girls at AICA - xo Ms. Colon
