Over 2 million people are hurt each year in auto accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to recover from their injuries relatively easily, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Mt Sterling office. Fortunately, Dr. Linton is here to help you heal from your auto injury.
Research Shows Chiropractic Helps Prevent Chronic Pain 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 pain. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 is a great way to avoid long-term pain after a crash.
It's important to remember that studies have also found that putting off care after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Linton immediately is key to having a quicker recovery.
