Causes of Chronic Pain after Car Accident

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured each year in car accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to recover from their injuries relatively quickly, others are left to deal with chronic issues and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Arlington office. Luckily, Jefferson Spine & Injury Center is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Shows Chiropractic Adjustments Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

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

It's important to remember that studies have also found that putting off care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Jefferson Spine & Injury Center as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
