How Chiropractic Care Can Help You Avoid Chronic Car Accident Pain

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured every year in car accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to heal from their injuries relatively easily, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see several of these patients here in our San Angelo office. Thankfully, Dr. Pittman is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Shows Chiropractic Adjustments Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

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 percent of them experienced pain relief following their adjustments, even though 43% of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic treatment is a great way to avoid long-term pain after an auto accident.

It's important to note that research has also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Pittman at the earliest opportunity is key to having a speedier recovery.
