How Chiropractic Can Help You Avoid Chronic Auto Injury Pain

Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt each year in auto accidents in the U.S. While some 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 Waldorf, MD office. Thankfully, Dr. Lipsitz is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash pain. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 care is a great way to avoid chronic pain after a crash.

It's important to note that studies have also found that putting off treatment after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Lipsitz as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.

Dr. Lipsitz has worked with many auto injury sufferers, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Waldorf, MD office today for more information or an appointment.
