Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in car accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries fairly quickly, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Parkland, FL office. Thankfully, Dr. Neil Scharf is here to help you heal from your 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 pain. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 a crash.

It's important to note that studies have also found that delaying care after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Neil Scharf as soon as possible is key to having a quicker recovery.

Dr. Neil Scharf has helped many auto injury patients, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Parkland, FL office today for more information or an appointment.
