What causes long-term pain after a Car Accident?

Over 2 million people are hurt each year in automobile accidents in the United States While a lot of people are able to improve from their injuries relatively quickly, many folks are left to deal with chronic issues and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Saint Paul office. Luckily, Dr. Slater is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments 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 treatment is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a car wreck.

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