Auto Accident Injury Care, Covered by Auto Insurance
|
Following a car accident people are often seen in the emergency room and
treated for neck or back injuries. If the injuries are not life threatening they are sent
home with medication and told to rest. Unfortunately, for some, they will start to have
persistent, often daily headaches, even if they have never suffered from headaches
previously. Those with a history of headaches will sometimes find their headaches
getting worse or developing a different “type” of headache.
For many people, the headaches will go away in a week or
two. The pain medication given to them by the emergency
room doctor or an over the counter pain medication may
be all that is required to relieve the pain until it eventually
subsides on its own. But some people will not respond to
these medications and headaches persist and can even
worsen over time.
Don't forget, like all other headache syndromes, lifestyle is
very important. Regular sleep cycles, good diet and
exercise as tolerated can help the headaches get better.

But what if the headaches don't go away? Or they get worse?
The key to post traumatic headache syndrome is to see your physician and be treated. If
the headaches are severe, specific medical testing may be indicated. In most cases,
post traumatic headaches following an auto injury result from either trauma to the
cervical spine the neck) or post concussive syndrome. The Office of David Wall, MD
can help you find the cause and the right solution to end your headache pain.
