With all of the auto injury patients we've treated in our practice serving Columbia, SC, we've seen many folks suffering from chronic pain caused by an old collision. In fact, research shows that a significant percentage of rear-end collisions may result in pain and disability even ten years after the crash.
Our goal at Active Life Chiropractic and Wellness is to help you avoid developing chronic pain by quickly restoring the natural function of your spine soon after a crash.
The most common causes of chronic pain are the reduced mobility of your spine and the development of scar tissue in your spine. The ligaments of your spine can easily be injured during a crash, and chiropractic may work by reducing inflammation and restoring normal motion.
Please take your early symptoms after a crash seriously and don't wait to receive care. We're here for you at Active Life Chiropractic and Wellness. Give us a call today at (803) 699-0266 for an appointment or for more information.
