Chronic Pain, Car Crashes and Chiropractic Adjustments

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured each year in car crashes in the U.S. While most people are able to get relief from their injuries relatively easily, many are left to deal with chronic problems and impairment. We see many of these people here in our Decatur office. Fortunately, Dr. Harrison is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Car Crash

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash issues. Each participant received chiropractic treatment and 93% of them found relief following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic treatment is a great way to avoid chronic problems 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 at the earliest opportunity is key to having a faster recovery.
