What causes persistent pain after a car wreck?
Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt every year in auto accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries relatively quickly, many are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Buffalo office. Thankfully, Dr. John Nowak is here to help you heal from your auto injury.
Research Supports 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 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments 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 is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a crash.
It's important to note that research has also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. John Nowak immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.
