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.

Oregon uses a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident.
