Approximately 2.3 million people are hurt every year in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. While some people are able to recover from their injuries relatively easily, others are left to deal with chronic pain and disability. We see many of these patients here in our Gresham, OR office. Thankfully, Dr. Robert Ramsey is here to help you heal from your auto injury.
Research Supports Chiropractic Helps Prevent Chronic Pain After an Auto Accident
The science confirms what we see in our office: A British study was conducted on 28 individuals diagnosed with chronic whiplash syndrome. Each participant received chiropractic treatment 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 note that studies have also found that putting off care after a car crash can adversely affect recovery time, so getting in to see Dr. Robert Ramsey as soon as possible is key to having a speedier recovery.

We see a lot of individuals with headaches in our Gresham office, and Dr. Ramsey has been able to support many of them.
In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) states that half of all adults deal with some type of headache disorder, so this certainly isn’t surprising.
One of the most frequent kinds of headaches that our patients are afflicted with is cervicogenic headache which, thankfully, chiropractic can usually help.What is Cervicogenic Headaches?A cervicogenic headache is one that comes from a problem in the cervical spine.
It could be as a result of an issue with either the spine itself (particularly, the vertebrae, joints, or discs), or it may be attributable to a problem in the muscles and tendons of your neck.
This dysfunction in your spine brings about compaction or irritation of the spinal nerves, which can bring on headache pain.How can you tell if the headache you are going through is a cervicogenic headache?
This is sometimes accompanied by pain in the back of your head or between your shoulder blades.How Chiropractic Helps with Cervicogenic HeadachesConsidering cervicogenic headaches will not go away until whatever issue is inducing them is remedied, it is crucial to receive treatment rather than just trying to "wait it out."
The benefits of chiropractic care go far beyond the back pain.
