What causes persistent pain after a Car Crash?

Arlington Chiropractic is Great for Chronic Issues After Auto Accident

More than 2 million people are hurt every year in car accidents in the U.S. While many people are able to get relief from their injuries fairly quickly, others are left to deal with chronic issues and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Arlington office. Thankfully, Dr. Ernst is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment 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 syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments 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 chronic pain after a crash.

It's important to note that studies have also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Ernst immediately is key to having a quicker recovery.
