Headaches & Whiplash

Headaches and neck pain often occur when one is in a motor vehicle accident or has a whiplash type injury. If a person is lucky these symptoms may only be short lived. Others end up with chronic problems and long-term disability.

Researchers have had the challenge of figuring out why some of these headaches clear out and others do not. The mechanism of injury is simple enough, but patients differ in the length of the injury and symptomatology.

Brain injuries such as concussions can cause loss of consciousness, metal fog, and difficulty thinking. Some physicians will call these symptoms psychological when diagnostic tests are negative. Some of the newer and more sensitive test can show small injuries that have occurred.

Tension headaches when compared to concussive injuries will not have additional symptoms such as dizziness, ringing in the ears, blurred vision and psychological disturbances.

Doctors of chiropractic are trained to identify these types of headaches. Dr. William Morgan of Morgan Chiropractic in Stuart Florida deals with these types of headaches every day. Patients often will have instantaneous improvement when adjusted. If you struggle with neck pain or headaches, pay us a visit and see if chiropractic can help
