Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to recover from their injuries relatively quickly, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Smyrna, GA office. Thankfully, Dr. Weinberg is here to help you heal 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 pain. Each participant received chiropractic care 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 long-term pain after a crash.

It's important to remember that studies have also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Weinberg immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.

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