Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured each year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While some people are able to heal from their injuries relatively easily, many are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Alexandria, KY office. Thankfully, Dr. Michael Wagner D.C. 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 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic care 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 a crash.

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

Dr. Michael Wagner D.C. has worked with many auto injury sufferers, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Alexandria, KY office today for more information or an appointment.
