Causes of Chronic Pain after Car Crash

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt every year in motor vehicle collisions in the United States While most people are able to get relief from their injuries relatively easily, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Tumwater office. Luckily, Dr. Harrell is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Care 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 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 treatment is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a car wreck.

It's important to remember that research has also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can adversely affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Harrell immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.
