Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt every year in auto accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries fairly easily, others are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Alexandria, KY office. Fortunately, Dr. Wagner is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic treatment and 93 percent of them found relief following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a crash.

It's important to note that studies have also found that delaying care after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Wagner as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
