Causes of Chronic Pain after Auto Injuries

Over 2 million people are injured each year in auto accidents in the U.S. While some 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 Tumwater office. Luckily, Dr. Harrell is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Shows Chiropractic Helps Prevent Chronic Pain 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 syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments and 93 percent of them found relief 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 long-term pain after a crash.

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