Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Approximately 2.3 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 folks are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Smyrna, GA office. Fortunately, Dr. Weinberg 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 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 chronic pain after an auto injury.

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

Dr. Weinberg has helped many auto injury sufferers, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Smyrna, GA office today for more information or an appointment.
