Causes of Chronic Pain after Car Accident

Over 2 million people are injured every year in auto accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to recover from their injuries fairly quickly, many are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Pinole office. Fortunately, Dr. Jung is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

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 care and 93 percent of them experienced pain relief following their adjustments, even though 43% of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic therapy is a great way to avoid long-term pain after a crash.

It's important to remember that studies have also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Jung at the earliest opportunity is key to having a quicker recovery.
