Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in car accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries fairly easily, many are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our North County St. Louis, MO office. Thankfully, Dr. Mark Holland is here to help you heal 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 conducted on 28 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments and 93 percent of them experienced pain relief 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 chronic pain after an auto injury.

It's important to remember that studies have also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Mark Holland as soon as possible is key to having a faster recovery.
