Chronic Pain, Car Crashes and Chiropractic Care

Alexandria Chiropractic Treatment Treats Chronic Pain After Car Accidents

More than 2 million people are injured every year in auto accidents in the U.S. While a lot of people are able to heal from their injuries fairly easily, too many people are left to deal with chronic issues and disability. We see many of these people here in our Alexandria office. Luckily, Dr. Wagner is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Helps Prevent Chronic Issues After an Auto Injury

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash issues. Each participant received chiropractic care and 93 percent of them found 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 discomfort after an auto injury.

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