What causes chronic pain after a car crash?

Over 2 million people are hurt each year in car accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to recover from their injuries relatively quickly, many are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Anchorage office. Thankfully, Dr. Mulholland is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Supports Chiropractic Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments 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 remember that research has also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can adversely affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Mulholland as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
