What causes persistent pain after a Car Crash?

More than 2 million people are injured each year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While most people are able to improve 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 Alpharetta office. Luckily, Dr. Berklich is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

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

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