Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Over 2 million people are hurt each year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to heal from their injuries fairly quickly, others are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Depew/Lancaster office. Thankfully, Buffalo Chiropractic 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 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic care 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 long-term pain after a crash.

It's important to note that research has also found that putting off care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Buffalo Chiropractic Center immediately is key to having a quicker recovery.

Dr. Palmer at Buffalo Chiropractic Center has worked with many auto injury patients, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Depew office today for more information or an appointment.
