What causes lasting pain after a Auto Accident?

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in car accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to improve from their injuries fairly easily, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Juneau office. Luckily, Dr. Messerschmidt is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Supports Chiropractic Adjustments Helps Prevent Chronic Issues After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments and 93 percent of them found relief following their adjustments, even though 43% 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 research has also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Messerschmidt as soon as possible is key to having a quicker recovery.
