Yes, such injuries can cause migraines - or more specifically migraine like headaches & pain. Try exercises (see physio perhaps) for your back along with hot & cold packs, muscle creams etc.

Ouch

I have a bad back 2 and I suffer bad headaches from it and I know it is the back doing it. I have a pain doctor that has told me that the back is the problem and I am going to get a shot in the neck to see about blocking the headaches.
