Causes of Chronic Pain after Auto Accident

Over 2 million people are injured every year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While many people are able to recover from their injuries fairly easily, many are left to deal with chronic issues and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Jacksonville and Fleming Island office. Fortunately, Dr. Fritz is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps Prevent Chronic Issues After an Auto Accident

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 adjustments and 93% of them found relief following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic therapy is a great way to avoid chronic pain after an auto injury.

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