83% Reduction in Post-Traumatic Headache Disability: Our First 10-Week Program Outcome

Headaches after a motor vehicle accident are often dismissed as “just tension” or “just stress.” In reality, many post-traumatic headaches stem from ligament and disc injuries in the cervical spine that disrupt spinal stability and nerve signaling.

One of our recent patients entered our 10-Week Headache & Neck Recovery Program with moderate headache-related disability following a car accident.

Following completion of care, the patient stated:

“After my car accident, I was dealing with constant headaches caused by ligament and disc injuries in my neck. After completing the 10-week headache program, my headaches are dramatically better and my quality of life has improved more than I expected.” – J.J.

Using the validated Headache Disability Index (HDI):

  • Initial HDI: 58/100 (Moderate Disability)
  • Final HDI: 10/100 (Minimal Disability)
  • Total Improvement: 83%

This represents a clinically meaningful and objectively documented recovery.

Our program focuses on:

  • Traction and decompression-based care
  • Laser and neuromuscular therapies
  • Postural rehabilitation
  • Ligament-stabilizing rehabilitation
  • Progressive cervical strengthening

If you or someone you know is still suffering from headaches after a car accident, a structured and measurable approach may make all the difference.

Individual results vary. Outcome testing was performed using the HDI.
