Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Over 2 million people are hurt every year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to recover from their injuries fairly quickly, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Redondo Beach office. Thankfully, Dr. Vinick is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a crash.

It's important to remember that research has also found that putting off care after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Vinick as soon as possible is key to having a quicker recovery.

Dr. Vinick has worked with many auto injury sufferers, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Redondo Beach office today for more information or an appointment.
