Causes of Chronic Pain after Car Accident

Over 2 million people are injured each year in motor vehicle collisions in the United States While several people are able to recover from their injuries relatively easily, many are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Arlington office. Thankfully, Jefferson Spine & Injury Center is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Helps Prevent Chronic Issues After an Auto Accident

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

It's important to remember that studies have also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Jefferson Spine & Injury Center at the earliest opportunity is key to having a speedier recovery.
