Understanding Headaches After Car Accident
Post-traumatic headaches are one of the most common symptoms following car accidents, affecting up to 90% of whiplash patients. These headaches can range from mild tension-type headaches to debilitating migraines. The most common type is cervicogenic headache — headache originating from dysfunction in the cervical spine. Proper chiropractic treatment addresses the underlying spinal dysfunction rather than just masking symptoms with medication.

New York Law & Your Post-Accident Headaches Claim
New York is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own auto insurance policy's PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage pays for your medical treatment regardless of who caused the accident. The minimum PIP coverage in New York is $50,000, which covers chiropractic treatment, lost wages, and other accident-related expenses. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New York is 3 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. New York uses a pure comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in New York and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.

While headaches are very common after car accidents, they should never be considered "normal" or ignored. Post-traumatic headaches indicate underlying injury — often cervical spine dysfunction, muscle damage, or even mild traumatic brain injury. Professional evaluation is essential.
Seek immediate emergency care if you experience: sudden severe headache ("worst headache of your life"), headache with confusion or disorientation, headache with vision changes, headache with weakness or numbness, or headache that progressively worsens. For persistent but less severe headaches, see a chiropractor within 72 hours.
