How Oxford Chiropractic and Cox® Technic Can Help After a Motor Vehicle Accident
If you’ve experienced a Oxford motor vehicle accident (MVA), it can leave you with significant spine-related pain in the neck or back. Luckily, the Oxford chiropractic care with Cox® Technic at Satterwhite Chiropractic can help ease your pain. Let’s explore 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 review of published papers on auto accident impairment ratings brought to light a wide range of impairment after an accident - 2% to 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 accidents 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 found that injured persons wanted to partner with the healthcare team, desired a clearer understanding of the healthcare and insurance system sooner after their injury, needed 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 that.

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 Oxford patients can be optimistic. Cox Technic is an advanced form of chiropractic care that works to reduce inflammation and ease back pain. It is commonly used in cases of bulging and herniated discs, sciatic leg pain, facet syndrome, degenerative disc disease, post-surgical low back or neck pain, and other types 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, decrease inflammation, and reduce 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 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 certain points on the spine in order to achieve maximum 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 extremely painful if not treated appropriately.
