Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in auto accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to recover from their injuries fairly quickly, others are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Harrisburg office. Fortunately, Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

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

It's important to note that studies have also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect recovery time, so getting in to see Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation immediately is key to having a quicker recovery.

Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation has helped many auto injury sufferers, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Harrisburg office today for more information or an appointment.
