How Ashburn and Herndon Chiropractic and Cox® Technic Can Help After a Motor Vehicle Accident

If you’ve experienced a Ashburn and Herndon motor vehicle accident (MVA), it can leave you with serious spine-related pain in the neck or back. Fortunately, the Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic care with Cox® Technic at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn 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 analysis 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 greatest risks for being permanently injured. This led the authors to call for a global way of evaluating medical impairment after accidents to reduce psychological and financial burdens for both the injured person and the community. (1) In creating guidelines to oversee the care of traffic injuries, an expert panel found that injured persons wanted to partner with their healthcare team, wanted 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 with higher expectations of returning to work were more likely to do that.

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 Ashburn and Herndon patients can be optimistic. Cox Technic is a well-researched form of chiropractic care that works to lower inflammation and reduce 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 delivering gentle yet firm pressure to treat the spine. This helps to restore mobility, reduce inflammation, and reduce 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 uses his/her hands to put pressure to specific points along 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 motor vehicle accidents such as whiplash and herniated discs which can be quite painful if not treated well.
