If you’ve experienced a McHenry motor vehicle
accident (MVA), it can leave you with serious spine-related
pain in the neck or back. Fortunately,
the McHenry chiropractic care with Cox® Technic at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic
can help alleviate your auto accident 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 found a wide range of ratings after a MVA
- 2% - 23% for car occupants and 2.8% to 46% for cyclists – with
cervical spine and neck injuries being the biggest risks for being permanently injured. This led the authors to call for a global way of evaluating medical
impairment after MVAs to decrease
psychological and financial burdens for both the injured person and the
community. (1) In developing guidelines to handle traffic injuries, an expert panel found
that injured persons wanted to partner with their
healthcare team, wanted a clearer understanding of the
healthcare and insurance system sooner after their injury, required
support for their emotional distress, and appreciated simple
explanations with easy-to-understand words. (2) For those who were
concerned about returning to work, researchers found that those who
held higher expectations of returning to work were more likely to
do that. (3) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic encourages you to be optimistic and welcomes you as a part of the team for healing!!
GENTLE CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT FOR MVA PAIN RELIEF
By our use of gentle
chiropractic care including Cox® Technic as part of the treatment plan for
post-auto accident spine injury, our McHenry patients have
reason to be optimistic. Cox Technic is a well-researched
form of chiropractic care that works to decrease
inflammation and ease back pain. It is commonly
used in cases of bulging and herniated discs, sciatic
leg pain, facet syndrome, degenerative disc disease, persistent
low back or neck pain after back surgery,
and other types of chronic lower back or neck pain. The technique produces
results by delivering gentle yet firm pressure to
treat the spine. This helps to restore mobility, decrease
inflammation, and lower 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 having to use
drugs or undergo surgery. During a session, the patient lies down on their
stomach (or other modified position for comfort) while the chiropractor uses his/her hands to apply pressure
to certain points on the spine in order to achieve
the most relief from pain and discomfort. This technique has been
effective for helping many types of spinal injuries related to car accidents
such as whiplash and herniated discs which can be quite
painful if not treated well.
