What causes long-term pain after a Auto Accident?

More than 2 million people are hurt each year in auto accidents in the United States While most people are able to heal from their injuries fairly quickly, many 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 recover from your auto injury.

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

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic care and 93% of them experienced improvements following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic treatment is a great way to avoid long-term pain after an auto injury.

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