Avoiding Chronic Pain After Car Accident

Over 2 million people are hurt each year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to recover from their injuries relatively easily, many are left to deal with chronic discomfort and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Saint Paul office. Fortunately, Dr. Slater is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Helps Prevent Chronic Issues After an Car Crash

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

It's important to see that studies have also found that delaying care after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Slater at the earliest opportunity is key to having a speedier recovery.
