Causes of Chronic Pain after Car Crash

Over 2 million people are hurt each year in auto accidents in the United States While some people are able to improve from their injuries relatively quickly, many folks 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. Holland is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Supports Chiropractic Care 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 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic care and 93 percent of them experienced pain relief following their adjustments, even though 43% of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic adjustments is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a crash.

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