What causes chronic pain after a Car Accident?

Over 2 million people are injured each year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While most people are able to get relief from their injuries fairly easily, many folks are left to deal with chronic issues and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Great Falls office. Luckily, Dr. Six is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Adjustments Helps Prevent Chronic Issues After an Auto Accident

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

It's important to remember that research has also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Six as soon as possible is key to having a quicker recovery.
