How Toronto Chiropractic and Cox® Technic Can Help After a Motor Vehicle Accident
If you’ve experienced a Toronto motor vehicle accident (MVA), it can leave you with significant spine-related pain in the neck or back. Fortunately, the Toronto chiropractic care with Cox® Technic at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre can help alleviate your pain. Read in for more info on how this form of treatment can help back and/or neck pain sufferers after a motor vehicle accident.
IMPAIRMENT AND RETURNING TO WORK ISSUES AFTER AUTO ACCIDENTS
A recent review of published papers on auto accident impairment ratings documented a wide range of impairment 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 assessing medical impairment after MVAs to decrease psychological and financial burdens for both the injured person and the 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 sooner after their injury, required support for their emotional distress, and valued simple 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.

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 Toronto patients have reason to be optimistic. Cox Technic is a well-researched form of chiropractic care that works to decrease inflammation and reduce back pain. It is often used in cases of herniated discs, bulging 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, reduce 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 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 apply pressure to specific points along the spine in order to attain 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 quite painful if not treated appropriately.
