Causes of Chronic Pain after Auto Injury

More than 2 million people are hurt every year in auto accidents in the U.S. While several people are able to improve from their injuries fairly easily, others are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Jonesboro office. Luckily, Dr. Alpert is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps Prevent Chronic Problems After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic care and 93 percent of them experienced improvements following their adjustments, even though 43% of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic adjustments is a great way to avoid long-term pain after a car wreck.

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