Several injuries can lead to chronic headache and neck pain. Whiplash is an injury that usually occurs during a car accident. While whiplash is associated with neck pain, it can also cause headache pain, especially if the injury is left untreated. A sports injury, from a rough tackle or from being hit in the head, can also lead to chronic headache pain.
For some people, a strong scent or a bright light may be enough to cause pain. Headache triggering scents include strong cologne or perfume, cigarette smoke or fumes from paint or other chemicals. Excess noise may also be enough to set off a headache.
Finding the Right Chiropractic Plan for You
Chiropractic techniques are used to help relieve pain and suffering related to headaches. For some patients, a spinal adjustment treats the underlying condition that causes the pain and allows them to live a pain-free life. Other patients need help discovering the causes of their migraine pain and learning ways to avoid them. After an assessment with our chiropractor, he can then determine what treatment plan is right for you.
