Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Over 2 million people are hurt every year in auto accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries relatively easily, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Depew office. Thankfully, Dr. Palmer is here to help you heal 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 care is a great way to avoid long-term pain after an auto injury.

It's important to note that research has also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Palmer at the earliest opportunity is key to having a quicker recovery.

Dr. Palmer 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.
