Causes of Chronic Pain after Car Accident

Over 2 million people are injured every year in automobile accidents in the United States While several people are able to heal from their injuries relatively quickly, others are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Parkland office. Luckily, Dr. Scharf is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

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

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic care and 93 percent of them experienced improvements 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 chronic pain after a car wreck.

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