Decatur Chiropractic Treatment Supports Chronic Pain After Car Accidents
More than 2 million people are injured each year in car accidents in the U.S. While a lot of people are able to get relief from their injuries fairly easily, others are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see several of these people here in our Decatur office. Thankfully, Dr. Harrison is here to help you recover from your auto injury.
Research Proves Chiropractic Adjustments Helps Prevent Chronic Discomfort After an Car Crash
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 adjustments and 93% of them found relief following their adjustments, even though 43% of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic treatment is a great way to avoid long-term issues after an auto accident.
It's important to remember that studies have also found that putting off care after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Harrison as soon as possible is key to having a faster recovery.
