What causes chronic pain after a Auto Accident?

Over 2 million people are injured each year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While some people are able to improve from their injuries fairly quickly, many are left to deal with chronic issues and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Largo office. Luckily, Spinal Health Chiropractic Center is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic treatment and 93 percent of them experienced improvements following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic therapy is a great way to avoid long-term pain after a crash.

It's important to note that studies have also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Spinal Health Chiropractic Center immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.
