Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured every year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries relatively quickly, many are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our North County St. Louis, MO office. Thankfully, Dr. Holland 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 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic care 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 long-term pain after an auto injury.

It's important to note that research has also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can adversely affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Holland immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.
