What causes chronic pain after a car wreck?

Downtown St. Louis, MO neck pain and headache treatmentOver 2 million people are hurt each year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries fairly quickly, others are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Downtown St. Louis, MO office. Luckily, Dr. Holland is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Helps Prevent Chronic Pain 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 syndrome. 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 is a great way to avoid chronic pain after an auto injury.

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 Dr. Holland as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
