Causes of Chronic Pain after Car Accident

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt every year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to improve from their injuries relatively easily, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our State College office. Fortunately, Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Shows Chiropractic Adjustments 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 pain. Each participant received chiropractic treatment and 93 percent of them experienced pain relief following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic adjustments is a great way to avoid long-term pain after a car wreck.

It's important to remember that studies have also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes at the earliest opportunity is key to having a quicker recovery.
