Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury
Approximately 2.3 million people are injured each year in auto accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries fairly easily, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our South Buffalo office. Fortunately, Dr. Nowak 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 found 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 research has also found that delaying care after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Nowak as soon as possible is key to having a faster recovery.
