Chronic Pain, Car Crashes and Chiropractic Therapy

Over 2 million people are hurt every year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While most people are able to get relief from their injuries fairly quickly, too many people are left to deal with chronic issues and disability. We see several of these people here in our Holtsville office. Luckily, Dr. Cohen is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Shows Chiropractic Care Helps Prevent Chronic Issues After an Car Crash

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash issues. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 therapy is a great way to avoid long-term problems after an auto injury.

It's important to remember that studies have also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Cohen at the earliest opportunity is key to having a faster recovery.
