We treat many car accident cases in our Rochester Hills office, and a widespread symptom we see in our patients is headache. If you are dealing with headache after a car accident, you're not alone. Dr. Dalton sees this type of problem very often in our Rochester Hills office. Chiropractic care in Rochester Hills can be very helpful for headache symptoms after a crash.
There are many different kinds of headache. Headache that's caused by a car accident, though, usually starts as tension or strain in the muscle tissue of the cervical spine. In a collision, the neck muscles can be damaged, which causes inflammation and soreness. These kinds of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the temple.
Another common cause of headache after a collision that we see in our Rochester Hills office is cervicogenic headache, or headaches that originate in injured ligaments of the neck. Ligament injury is quite common after a crash, and it's important to get care for this type of problem to prevent the development of scar tissue.
Chiropractic Therapy is an excellent way to treat headaches, including those brought about by auto injuries. Your chiropractor will help reduce the inflammation and strain in your neck, which will help reduce the headache pain.
If you've been injured in a car crash and you're suffering from headache, Dr. Dalton is here to help. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis to determine what's causing your symptoms and then we will determine an appropriate treatment approach.

Chiropractors, often considered alternative or complementary medicine practitioners, are primary care doctors who focus on good health through proper nutrition, exercise, and other lifestyle factors. The chiropractic philosophy is based on the idea that when nerves emerging from the spinal cord are compromised (known as a subluxation), the affected individual might experience pain, disability and an overall decrease in the quality of life.
