Headaches associated with whiplash injuries

There are many whiplash symptoms but, as with most neck injuries, the headaches are usually the most predominant and difficult to live with. When you sustain whiplash, the muscles and ligaments in your neck are stretched out of their normal range and any strain to your neck can put undue strain on the muscles in your head. You will often find that any tension in your neck causes you to feel pain in your head and this is often due to pressure on and damage to the nerves.
Types of headache
According to medical professionals, there are distint types of headaches that we suffer:
Migraine throbbing head pain to one or both sides of the head that can come with nausea, sickness and dizziness and is eased by lying in a dark room. This type of headache is often hereditary.
Tension-type headache the most common type of headache, which can be sporadic and serious, and occurs after a stressful situation. Characterised by the feeling of pressure or tightness in the head, pain can radiate from the neck, back, eyes as well as other muscle groups in the body.
Cluster headache a serious headache to one side of the head, usually around the eye area, that is more commonly suffered by men. They occur as part of a series of similar attacks and usually last an hour or two.
Neuralgias this is nerve pain affecting the face, head and neck and resulting in sharp shooting pains.
Post-traumatic headaches can occur after a particularly traumatic incident such as a car crash and reoccur with memories of the incident, just as with other symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Headaches may also occur as a result of some pre-existing disease or condition such as cerebrovascular disease, a disorder that affects the blood vessels which supply the brain and may result in a stroke, and a tumour could cause a change in intracranial pressure.
Any of the above headaches are likely to cause enough pain but coupled with a whiplash injury are likely to leave you suffering to a different degree.
