Auto accidents happen every day and can result in serious injuries. Each year more than 6 million people are injured in such accidents. A large majority of the injured experience whiplash: a neck injury that results from the head snapping forward and then back again abruptly. Most victims believe that in time their pain and injury will subside, but a high percentage of the injured wind up with chronic pain. Unfortunately, injury from auto accidents can take months, even years to surface. Untreated cases can lead to a life of chronic pain. Chronic pain is more abundant in automobile accident victims than any other type of trauma.
Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than 6 months. It comes in many forms ranging from mild to incapacitating. Not only is the pain physically interfering with an individual’s daily life, but it can also dampen ones emotions as well. This can cause a vicious cycle of pain that turns into depression causing more pain and the chronic pain causing even greater damage by inhibiting the immune system.
