How St Peters Chiropractic and Cox® Technic Can Help After a Motor Vehicle Accident
If you’ve experienced a St Peters motor vehicle accident (MVA), it can leave you with significant spine-related pain in the neck or back. Fortunately, the St Peters chiropractic care with Cox® Technic at Old Mill Chiropractic can help ease 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 found 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 biggest risks for being permanently injured. This led the authors to call for a global way of evaluating medical impairment after MVAs to lower psychological and financial burdens for both the injured person and his/her community. (1) In developing guidelines to oversee the care of traffic injuries, an expert panel found that injured persons wished to partner with their healthcare team, wanted a clearer understanding of the healthcare and insurance system earlier after their injury, required support for their emotional distress, and appreciated uncomplicated 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 so.

GENTLE CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT FOR MVA PAIN RELIEF
With our use of gentle chiropractic care including Cox® Technic as part of the treatment plan for post-auto accident spine injury, our St Peters patients have reason to be optimistic. Cox Technic is a well-researched form of chiropractic care that works to lower inflammation and alleviate back pain. It is often used in cases of herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, 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 using 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 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 apply pressure to specific points along the spine in order to achieve maximum relief from pain and discomfort. This technique has been effective for treating many types of spinal injuries related to motor vehicle accidents such as whiplash and herniated discs which can be extremely painful if not treated properly.
