Over 2 million people are injured every year in car accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to recover from their injuries relatively quickly, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Olympia office. Fortunately, TJ Delorie is here to help you recover from your auto injury.
Research Shows 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 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 an auto injury.
It's important to note that research has also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see TJ Delorie as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
