Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt every year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to recover from their injuries relatively easily, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Nashville office. Thankfully, Sweeney Chiropractic is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments and 93 percent of them experienced improvements 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 chronic pain after an auto injury.

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

Sweeney Chiropractic has helped many auto injury sufferers, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Nashville office today for more information or an appointment.
