What causes chronic pain after a motor vehicle accident?

Over 2 million people are hurt every year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries relatively quickly, others are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Hauppauge, Long Island, NY office. Fortunately, Dr. Cohen is here to help you recover 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 conducted on 28 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic care and 93 percent of them experienced improvements 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 putting off treatment after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Cohen as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
