Over 2 million people are hurt each year in car accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to recover from their injuries fairly quickly, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Otown office. Fortunately, TJ Delorie is here to help you recover from your auto injury.
The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments 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 is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a crash.
It's important to note that research has also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see TJ Delorie as soon as possible is key to having a quicker recovery.
TJ Delorie has helped many auto injury patients, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Otown office today for more information or an appointment.
