How Elgin Chiropractic and Cox® Technic Can Help After a Motor Vehicle Accident
If you’ve experienced a Elgin motor vehicle accident (MVA), it can leave you with significant back and/or neck pain due to a spine injury. Fortunately, the Elgin chiropractic care with Cox® Technic at Connected Chiropractic can help alleviate your pain. Let’s explore how this form of treatment can help back and/or neck pain sufferers after a car accident.
IMPAIRMENT AND RETURNING TO WORK ISSUES AFTER AUTO ACCIDENTS
A recent review of published papers on auto accident impairment ratings brought to light a wide range of ratings after a MVA - 2% - 23% for car occupants and 2.8% [-|to]9] 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 assessing medical impairment after MVAs to reduce psychological and financial burdens for both the injured person and the community. (1) In developing guidelines to oversee the care of traffic injuries, an expert panel pointed out that injured persons wished to partner with their healthcare team, desired a clearer understanding of the healthcare and insurance system earlier after their injury, required support for their emotional distress, and appreciated simple 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
By our use of gentle chiropractic care including Cox® Technic as part of the treatment plan for post-auto accident spine injury, our Elgin 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 commonly used in cases of bulging and herniated discs, sciatica, facet syndrome, degenerative disc disease, persistent low back or neck pain after back surgery, and other forms of chronic lower back or neck pain. The technique produces results by delivering 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 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 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 car accidents such as whiplash and herniated discs which can be very painful if not treated properly.
