93% of Chronic Whiplash Patients Improve with Chiropractic Treatment

"The 'whiplash' syndrome is a collection of symptoms produced as a result of soft-tissue injury of the cervical spine. The accumulated literature suggests that 43 percent of patients will suffer long-term symptoms following 'whiplash' injury. If patients are still symptomatic after three months then there is almost a 90 per cent chance that they will remain so. No conventional (MEDICAL) treatment has proven to be effective in these established chronic cases."

The Study

Researchers examined the effectiveness of chiropractic care in 28 patients with chronic whiplash pain. The patients were referred for chiropractic treatment similar to what is performed at Aim High Health. The average time since the accident was 15.5 months (range: 3-44 months).

Patients were interviewed before treatment by both an independent chiropractor and orthopedic physician. The patients were assigned to one of four classification groups:

The Results

In the group that had improved, 17 had stopped their treatment at the time of assessment; symptoms had recurred to a minor degree in only 4 (24 percent) of these patients and they were considering further treatment.

These are exciting findings that demonstrate the effectiveness of chiropractic care for chronic whiplash injuries. Come experience the amazing treatment and adjustments from a chiropractor at Aim High Health Auto Injury Accident Center.
