Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic

Over 2 million people are hurt each year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While most people are able to recover from their injuries fairly quickly, others are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Las Vegas office. Thankfully, Dr. Forsyth is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

Research Proves Chiropractic Helps Prevent Chronic Pain 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 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 an auto injury.

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