What causes long-term pain after a Auto Injury?

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in car accidents in the U.S. While many people are able to improve from their injuries fairly quickly, too many people are left to deal with chronic issues and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Arlington office. Thankfully, Jefferson Spine & Injury Center is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment 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 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments 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 adjustments is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a crash.

It's important to remember that research has also found that delaying 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.
