We manage many auto injury cases in our San Angelo office, and a typical symptom we see in our patients is headache. Why is headache such a common problem after a car crash?

How Head Pain Is Caused by Auto Accident and How Dr. Pittman Can Help You

There are many different kinds of headache. Headache that's triggered by a car accident, though, typically starts as tension or strain in the muscle tissue of the neck. In a wreck, the neck muscles can be damaged, which results in inflammation and pain. These kinds of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the forehead.

Another common cause of headache after a crash that we see in our San Angelo 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 therapy for this type of problem to protect against the creation of scar tissue.
