What causes chronic pain after a car wreck?

Over 2 million people are hurt each year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to heal from their injuries fairly quickly, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our State College, PA office. Fortunately, Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Proves 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 pain. Each participant received chiropractic care and 93 percent of them experienced improvements 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 a car wreck.

It's important to remember that studies have also found that putting off care after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
