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.

Why Documentation Matters for Your Salem Case

Oregon uses a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in Oregon and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.
