Causes of Chronic Pain after Auto Injury

More than 2 million people are injured every year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While many people are able to improve from their injuries fairly quickly, others are left to deal with chronic issues and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Jonesboro office. Luckily, Dr. Alpert is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Shows Chiropractic Care Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 care is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a crash.

It's important to note that studies have also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Alpert as soon as possible is key to having a quicker recovery.
