Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured each year in car accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries relatively easily, others are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our North County, St. Louis, MO office. Fortunately, Dr. Mark Holland is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

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 care 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 long-term pain after an auto injury.

It's important to remember that studies have also found that putting off care after a car crash can adversely affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Mark Holland immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.

Dr. Mark Holland has worked with many auto injury patients, and we're here to help you, too. Call our North County, St. Louis, MO office today for more information or an appointment.
