Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in auto accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to recover from their injuries relatively easily, many are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Estero, Bonita Springs office. Fortunately, Chiropractic Care & Rehab Center 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 pain. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 long-term pain after an auto injury.

It's important to note that studies have also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Chiropractic Care & Rehab Center immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.

Chiropractic Care & Rehab Center has helped many auto injury sufferers, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Estero, Bonita Springs office today for more information or an appointment.
