What causes chronic pain after a motor vehicle accident?

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured every year in car accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to recover from their injuries relatively easily, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Cary office. Thankfully, Dr. Gugerli 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 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 a crash.

It's important to note that studies have also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Gugerli at the earliest opportunity is key to having a speedier recovery.
