Understanding Your Injury
Post-traumatic headaches occur after up to 90% of car accidents involving whiplash. There are three main types: cervicogenic headaches (originating from injured cervical muscles, joints, or nerve roots in the neck), post-concussion headaches (from mild traumatic brain injury), and tension-type headaches (from sustained cervical muscle guarding and spasm). Many patients experience a combination. Cervicogenic headaches typically radiate from the base of the skull up to the forehead and are often mistaken for migraines. Physical therapy and acupuncture are highly effective evidence-based treatments for both cervicogenic and tension-type post-traumatic headaches.

Delayed-onset headaches after a car accident are common and usually cervicogenic in origin - meaning they come from the injured muscles, joints, and nerves of the upper cervical spine. Inflammation builds over 24 to 72 hours, progressively irritating cervical nerve roots that refer pain to the head. Headaches that start days after an accident are a medically recognized sign of cervical spine injury and should be evaluated and documented immediately.
