What causes long-term pain after a car wreck?

Over 2 million people are injured each year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While some people are able to recover from their injuries fairly easily, many are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Port Coquitlam office. Thankfully, Northside Chiropractic is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Supports Chiropractic Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. 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 is a great way to avoid chronic pain after an auto injury.

It's important to note that studies have also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Northside Chiropractic immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.
