Causes of Chronic Pain after Auto Injuries

Over 2 million people are hurt every year in car accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to improve from their injuries fairly easily, many folks 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. Holland is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Proves 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 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 a car wreck.

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. Holland immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.
