Auto injuries are an expensive and painful problem around the world. Experts estimate that we spend over $30 billion per year in treating the pain and disability that can result from a rear-end crash. We see many of these cases each year come through our practice in Murrysville & Munhall, PA.
Most people don't realize that many of these types of injuries can be prevented by properly adjusting your head restraint. Research done on live traffic shows that only about 10% of people have a head restraint that's set up to prevent injury from a rear-end crash. Our video below shows you how to adjust your head restraint to protect you and your family.
If you've already been injured in a crash, it's important to get treatment right away. The staff at Dr. Charles Tragesser Jr has helped many people recover from such injuries. Give us a call today at (724) 733-1830 to learn more or to make an appointment.
