Causes of Chronic Pain after Car Accident

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in auto accidents in the United States While several people are able to improve from their injuries fairly quickly, too many people are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Ronkonkoma office. Thankfully, Dr. Priolo 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 conducted on 28 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments and 93 percent of them experienced pain relief following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic adjustments is a great way to avoid long-term pain after a crash.

It's important to note that research has also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Priolo immediately is key to having a quicker recovery.
