How Chiropractic Adjustments Can Help You Avoid Chronic Car Accident Pain

Fairfax Chiropractic Care Relieves Chronic Pain After Auto Injury

Over 2 million people are hurt every year in car accidents in the U.S. While a lot of people are able to recover from their injuries relatively quickly, too many people are left to deal with chronic issues and impairment. We see several of these men and women here in our Fairfax office. Thankfully, Dr. Zapf is here to help you get relief from your auto injury.

Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Helps Prevent Chronic Discomfort After an Auto Injury

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic care and 93 percent of them found relief 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 issues after an auto injury.

It's important to note that studies have also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Zapf as soon as possible is key to having a quicker recovery.
