What causes persistent pain after a car wreck?

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries relatively quickly, others are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Henderson, NV office. Fortunately, Dr. Russell and Dr. Janda is here to help you recover 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 conducted on 28 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments and 93 percent of them experienced improvements following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic is a great way to avoid chronic pain after an auto injury.

It's important to note that research has also found that putting off care after a car crash can adversely affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Russell and Dr. Janda as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
