Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic

Over 2 million people are injured each year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While most people are able to recover 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 Yakima, WA office. Thankfully, Dr. Bill Kroner is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Supports Chiropractic Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was carried out on 28 people diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments 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 care is a great way to avoid long-term pain after an auto injury.

It's important to note that research has also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Bill Kroner as soon as possible is key to having a quicker recovery.
