Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured every year in car accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to heal from their injuries relatively quickly, many folks are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Moon Township office. Thankfully, Dr. Spiropoulos 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 men and women diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a crash.

It's important to remember that research has also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Spiropoulos as soon as possible is key to having a quicker recovery.

Dr. Spiropoulos has worked with many auto injury patients, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Moon Township office today for more information or an appointment.
