How Head Pain Is Caused by Car Accidents and How Dr. Alpert Can Help You

There are many different types of headache. Headache that's triggered by a car crash, though, usually starts as tension or strain in the muscles of the cervical spine. In a crash, the neck muscles can be torn, which causes swelling and soreness. These types of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the temple.

Another frequent cause of pain after a collision that we see in our Jonesboro office is cervicogenic headache, or headaches that originate in injured ligaments of the neck. Ligament injury is very common after a crash, and it's important to get care for this type of problem to prevent the creation of scar tissue.
