Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Over 2 million people are injured each year in auto accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to heal from their injuries fairly easily, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Nashville office. Fortunately, Sweeney Chiropractic is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Shows 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 pain. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 care is a great way to avoid long-term pain after a crash.

It's important to note that studies have also found that putting off care after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Sweeney Chiropractic immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.
