Napa Chiropractic Supports Chronic Pain After Car Crash
Over 2 million people are hurt each year in auto accidents in the United States While a lot of people are able to heal from their injuries relatively easily, others are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Napa office. Fortunately, Dr. Bettencourt is here to help you recover from your auto injury.
Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment 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 experienced pain relief following their adjustments, even though 43% of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic adjustments is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a car wreck.
It's important to remember that studies have also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Bettencourt immediately is key to having a quicker recovery.
