What causes chronic pain after a car crash?

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured every year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While some people are able to improve from their injuries relatively quickly, others are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Great Falls, MT office. Luckily, Dr. Six is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic care and 93 percent of them experienced pain relief following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic care is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a crash.

It's important to remember that studies have also found that putting off care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Six as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
