Chronic Pain, Car Crashes, and Chiropractic

Approximately 2.3 million people are injured each year in automobile accidents in the U.S. While most people are able to recover from their injuries fairly easily, others are left to deal with chronic pain and impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Massillon, OH office. Thankfully, Drs. Ken Haycock & Tim Vierheller is here to help you recover from your auto injury.

The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted 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 care 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 treatment after a car crash can adversely affect recovery time, so getting in to see Drs. Ken Haycock & Tim Vierheller as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.

Drs. Ken Haycock & Tim Vierheller has worked with many auto injury patients, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Massillon, OH office today for more information or an appointment.
