Over 2 million people are hurt each year in auto accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to recover from their injuries fairly quickly, others are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. 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.
Research Shows Chiropractic Helps Prevent Chronic Pain 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 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 care 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 negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Mark Holland immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.
