What causes long-term pain after a car wreck?

Over 2 million people are hurt every year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While some people are able to improve from their injuries relatively easily, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Henderson office. Thankfully, Dr. Russell is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Shows 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 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments 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 an auto injury.

It's important to remember that studies have also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Russell as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
