How Chiropractic Can Help You Avoid Chronic Auto Injury Pain

Over 2 million people are hurt every year in car accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to recover from their injuries relatively easily, many are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Fleming Island, FL office. Fortunately, Select Health and Wellness is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

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

It's important to note that research has also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Select Health and Wellness as soon as possible is key to having a quicker recovery.

Select Health and Wellness has helped many auto injury patients, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Fleming Island, FL office today for more information or an appointment.
