Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured every year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While some people are able to heal from their injuries relatively quickly, others are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Sunnyvale, CA office. Thankfully, Dr. Jamie Stern 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 men and women 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 is a great way to avoid long-term pain after an auto injury.

It's important to note that studies have also found that putting off care after a car crash can adversely affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Jamie Stern immediately is key to having a speedier recovery.

Dr. Jamie Stern has helped many auto injury patients, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Sunnyvale, CA office today for more information or an appointment.
