Causes of Chronic Pain after Auto Injury

More than 2 million people are hurt every year in automobile accidents in the United States While a lot of people are able to heal from their injuries fairly easily, too many people are left to deal with chronic issues and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Downtown St. Louis, MO office. Thankfully, Dr. Holland is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

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

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

It's important to note that research has also found that putting off care after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Holland as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
