What causes chronic pain after a motor vehicle accident?

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt every year in auto accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to recover from their injuries fairly quickly, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Sayville office. Thankfully, Precision Chiropractic is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Shows Chiropractic 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 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. 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 is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a car wreck.

It's important to note that studies have also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Precision Chiropractic at the earliest opportunity is key to having a speedier recovery.
