What causes persistent pain after a Auto Accident?

More than 2 million people are injured each year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While a lot of people are able to improve from their injuries relatively easily, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Holtsville office. Thankfully, Dr. Cohen is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

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

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic care 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 adjustments is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a crash.

It's important to remember that research has also found that putting off care after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Cohen at the earliest opportunity is key to having a quicker recovery.
