Causes of Chronic Pain after Auto Injuries

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt every year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to recover from their injuries fairly easily, others are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Memphis office. Thankfully, Dr. Amodeo is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic 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 people 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 chronic pain after a crash.

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