90%of the people participating in car accident experience headaches soon after that.
30% of them still have the same headache a year after the accident.
Most head-injured people will have one or more different types of headaches.
When your head is thrown forward in the accident, the disks that are between the bones of your spine can get squished. These squished disks may press on nerves in the neck, causing pinched nerves.
Another problem that can happen at the same time is stretched muscles (muscles are holding the head no to go forward in accident) leading to muscle knots.
Combination of pinched nerve and muscle tension can be a reason for a head pain at the back of the head that can go on for a long period of time, possibly for years.
