Treatment for Headaches and Other Pain from Crash Injuries

Accidents are commonly associated with whiplash pain.

The most common symptoms from these injuries include neck pain and headaches.

Headaches can occur from injuries to the neck, the TMJ (which we can also help), and/or concussions which we talk about a little below.

Of course many other injuries also occur causing pain and symptoms in any part of the body ranging from your back to your arms or legs.

Nerve problems can result. Disc injuries occur in the neck or back. Ligaments can be torn causing instability. Joints can be damaged. Muscles and tendons may be injured.

Concussions/Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries.

Another unfortunately too common injury is to the brain with concussions/mild traumatic brain injuries.

These often cause headaches as well as so many other symptoms.

You do not have to have a direct blow to the head to experience these injuries.

It’s also critically important to note your pre-existing state which has a major impact on head injuries.

These factors include so many different things including past history of other concussions, diabetes, anemia, breathing problems (asthma, COPD, smokers, …), older people, infections, autoimmunity, obesity, and other health factors all can have a serious impact on brain injuries.

These injuries may be called mild tbis but the effects can be devastating.

Fortunately given the latest research in concussion injuries and management, there are different treatments and recommendations that can help people heal from these very serious problems.

How To Get Better As Quickly As Possible After A Texarkana Crash.

Whiplash and Motor Vehicle Accident Treatment.

Pain from whiplash injuries should be evaluated by a chiropractor experienced in personal injury evaluation and treatment. Dr. Hagebusch has successfully treated several thousand people in the Texarkana area for these special types of injuries.

The reason it’s important to see an experienced chiropractor right away is because your body begins to heal after the trauma.

The majority of injuries are to soft tissue, in other words to tissue other than bone. These heal differently than bone with the formation of fibrous scar tissue. The healing process can be improved with the right treatment.

These are physical injuries from physical forces that for the vast majority respond best to physical treatment methods that we use at Hagebusch Chiropractic in Texarkana.

Whiplash and Other Motor Vehicle Crash Injuries Can Cause Lifelong Problems.

Studies show that a large percentage of people injured in a motor vehicle accident develop chronic and lifelong problems.

This includes those who have had treatment for their injuries.

The right treatment can make a big difference in healing and recovery as mentioned above.

Even though medications like pain relievers/anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants prescribed by a medical doctor can help the symptoms while your body begins the healing process.

These medications do not improve the healing of the scar tissue which is why it’s also important to also see a Chiropractor as soon as possible.

The soft tissue injuries go through this process of healing that is largely dependent on proper movement which is where our physical treatments make a big difference.

Don’t make the mistake of just taking the medications and not also getting other care to improve the soft tissue healing. The risk is far too great to heal with excessive scar tissue, limited motion, and increased problems with pain from improper function.

Of course we can help you get out of pain, but the key to proper care is not just treating pain. It’s essential to also restore proper function to your body.

The pain will often improve with time, but if proper function is not restored to the spine, early degeneration of the spine will occur.

Headaches, neck pain, and other symptoms often dramatically improve with the right treatment.

Dr. Hagebusch’s decades of experience successfully treating these injuries in Texarkana make us a great choice to help give you the best chance of recovering from these serious injuries.
