What causes chronic pain after a Car Accident?

More than 2 million people are injured every year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While many people are able to recover from their injuries fairly quickly, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. 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.

Research Shows Chiropractic Therapy Helps Prevent Chronic Problems 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 pain relief following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic therapy is a great way to avoid long-term pain after a car wreck.

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