Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic

Over 2 million people are injured each year in auto accidents in the U.S. While some 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 Nashville office. Fortunately, Sweeney Chiropractic is here to help you heal from your auto injury.

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

It's important to note that research has also found that delaying care after a car crash can negatively affect healing time, so getting in to see Sweeney Chiropractic at the earliest opportunity is key to having a speedier recovery.

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