Detecting Head and Neck Injuries
In order to find out if you have sustained an injury that is causing the headaches, we may ask you a number of questions, such as:
- Do you suffer from frequent headaches?
- Do you experience numbing or tingling of the arms or hands?
- Do you have chronic tension in your shoulders?
- Do you have any symptoms in between your shoulder blades?
- Do you wake up with stiff and sore muscles?
- Do you have poor posture?
