How Concord, NC Chiropractic and Cox® Technic Can Help After a Motor Vehicle Accident
If you’ve experienced a Concord, NC motor vehicle accident (MVA), it can leave you with serious spine-related pain in the neck or back. Luckily, the Concord, NC chiropractic care with Cox® Technic at Pure Chiropractic can help ease your pain. Let’s explore how this form of treatment can help back and/or neck pain sufferers after an auto accident.
IMPAIRMENT AND RETURNING TO WORK ISSUES AFTER AUTO ACCIDENTS
A recent review of published papers on auto accident impairment ratings documented a wide range of impairment after an accident - 2% to 23% for car occupants and 2.8% [-|to]9] 46% for cyclists – with cervical spine and neck injuries being the biggest risks for being permanently injured. This led the authors to suggest the development of a global way of evaluating medical impairment after MVAs to decrease psychological and financial burdens for both the injured person and his/her community. (1) In creating guidelines to manage traffic injuries, an expert panel pointed out that injured persons wanted to partner with their healthcare team, desired a better understanding of the healthcare and insurance system earlier after their injury, needed support for their emotional distress, and valued uncomplicated explanations with easy-to-understand words. (2) For those who worried about returning to work, researchers found that those who had higher expectations of returning to work were more likely to do so.

GENTLE CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT FOR MVA PAIN RELIEF
Undergoing gentle chiropractic care including Cox® Technic as part of the treatment plan for post-auto accident spine injury, our Concord, NC patients have reason to be optimistic. Cox Technic is a well-researched form of chiropractic care that works to lower inflammation and ease back pain. It is often used in cases of herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, facet syndrome, degenerative disc disease, post-surgical low back or neck pain, and other forms of chronic lower back or neck pain. The technique works by using gentle yet firm pressure to manipulate the spine. This helps to restore mobility, reduce inflammation, and ease pain.
Benefits Of Cox Technic & How Does It Work?
One of the biggest benefits of Cox Technic is that it offers relief from chronic lower back or neck pain without using drugs or undergo surgery. During a session, the patient lies down on their stomach (or other modified position for comfort) while the chiropractor places his/her/hands on the spine to put pressure to certain points along the spine in order to achieve maximum relief from pain and discomfort. This technique has been effective for helping many types of spinal injuries associated with motor vehicle accidents such as whiplash and herniated discs which can be quite painful if not treated appropriately.
