Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries relatively easily, many folks 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.

Research Supports 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 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. 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 a crash.

It's important to remember that research has also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Robert C Slater, DC at the earliest opportunity is key to having a speedier recovery.
