What causes persistent pain after a Auto Accident?

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured each year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to improve from their injuries fairly quickly, others are left to deal with chronic issues and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Woburn office. Luckily, Dr. Ellis is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Supports Chiropractic Adjustments Helps Prevent Chronic Issues After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic treatment and 93% of them found relief following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic treatment is a great way to avoid long-term pain after a crash.

It's important to note that research has also found that putting off care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Ellis immediately is key to having a quicker recovery.
