Avoiding Chronic Pain After an Auto Injury

Over 2 million people are injured every year in car 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 Capitol Hill, Washington DC office. Thankfully, Dr. Moses Ogbemudia 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 adjustments and 93 percent of them experienced improvements 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 remember that research has also found that delaying care after a car crash can adversely affect healing time, so getting in to see Dr. Moses Ogbemudia at the earliest opportunity is key to having a speedier recovery.

Dr. Moses Ogbemudia has helped many auto injury patients, and we're here to help you, too. Call our Capitol Hill, Washington DC office today for more information or an appointment.
