More than 2 million people are injured each year in motor vehicle collisions 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 impairment. We see many of these patients here in our Portland office. Fortunately, Dr. Helton 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 syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic adjustments and 93% of them experienced pain relief following their adjustments, even though 43 percent of whiplash sufferers overall usually never find relief. This confirms that chiropractic adjustments is a great way to avoid long-term pain after an auto injury.
It's important to remember that studies have also found that delaying treatment after a car crash can negatively affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Helton as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.
Dr. Helton has worked with many auto injury sufferers, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Portland office today for more information or an appointment.
