Causes of Chronic Pain after Auto Injury

Over 2 million people are injured every 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 many of these patients here in our Decatur office. Thankfully, Dr. Harrison is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic care and 93% of them experienced pain relief following their adjustments, even though 43% of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic therapy is a great way to avoid long-term pain after a car wreck.

It's important to remember that research has 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 quicker recovery.
