Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic
Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in auto accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to heal from their injuries fairly easily, many are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Lincoln office. Fortunately, Dr. Kallio is here to help you recover 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 treatment 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 is a great way to avoid chronic pain after an auto injury.
It's important to note that research has also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Kallio immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.
