Over 2 million people are hurt every year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries relatively quickly, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Highland Park, Saint Paul, Minnesota office. Fortunately, Robert C Slater, DC is here to help you heal from your auto injury.
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 treatment 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 an auto injury.
It's important to note that research has also found that delaying care after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Robert C Slater, DC immediately is key to having a quicker recovery.
