What causes persistent pain after a car wreck?

Over 2 million people are hurt every year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to heal from their injuries fairly easily, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Noblesville office. Fortunately, Dr. Dahlager 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 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. 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 long-term pain after an auto injury.

It's important to remember that research has also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Dahlager as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
