Fairfax Chiropractic Helps Chronic Pain After Car Accident

Over 2 million people are injured each year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While several people are able to improve from their injuries fairly quickly, many are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Fairfax office. Luckily, Dr. Zapf is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps Prevent Chronic Problems 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 care and 93 percent of them experienced pain relief following their adjustments, even though 43% 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 remember that research has also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Zapf as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
