If you’ve experienced a Sitka motor vehicle
accident (MVA), it can leave you with significant back and/or neck pain due to a spine injury. Fortunately,
the Sitka chiropractic care with Cox® Technic at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
can help ease your auto accident pain. Read in for more info on how this form of treatment can help those
suffering from severe back pain after a car
accident.
IMPAIRMENT AND RETURNING TO WORK ISSUES AFTER AUTO ACCIDENTS
A recent analysis of published papers on auto
accident impairment ratings described a wide range of ratings after a MVA
- 2% to 23% for car occupants and 2.8% to 46% for cyclists – with
cervical spine and neck injuries being the greatest risks for being permanently injured. This led the authors to suggest
the development of a global way of evaluating medical
impairment after accidents to decrease
psychological and financial burdens for both the injured person and his/her
community. (1) In creating guidelines to handle traffic injuries, an expert panel found
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
held higher expectations of returning to work were more likely to
do so. (3) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka encourages you to be optimistic and welcomes you as a part of the team for healing!!
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 Sitka patients have
reason to be optimistic. Cox Technic is an advanced
form of chiropractic care that works to reduce
inflammation and reduce back pain. It is often
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 works by delivering gentle yet firm pressure to
manipulate the spine. This helps to restore mobility, decrease
inflammation, and ease pain.
Benefits Of Cox Technic & How Does It Work?
One of the biggest benefits of Cox Technic is that it delibers
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 places
his/her/hands on the spine to put pressure
to certain points along the spine in order to achieve
the most relief from pain and discomfort. This technique has been
effective for treating many types of spinal injuries associated
with MVAs
such as whiplash and herniated discs which can be extremely
painful if not treated appropriately.
