Causes of Chronic Pain after Auto Accident

More than 2 million people are injured each year in car accidents in the United States While a lot of people are able to heal from their injuries fairly quickly, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Yakima office. Luckily, Dr. Covington is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps Prevent Chronic Problems After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 therapy is a great way to avoid long-term pain after a car wreck.

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