How La Grande Chiropractic and Cox® Technic Can Help After a Motor Vehicle Accident
If you’ve experienced a La Grande motor vehicle accident (MVA), it can leave you with serious spine-related pain in the neck or back. Fortunately, the La Grande chiropractic care with Cox® Technic at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC can help ease your pain. Let’s explore 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 described a wide range of ratings 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 biggest risks for permanent injury status. This led the authors to suggest the development of 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 wanted to partner with their healthcare team, desired a better understanding of the healthcare and insurance system earlier after their injury, needed support for their emotional distress, and appreciated straightforward 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
Undergoing gentle chiropractic care including Cox® Technic as part of the treatment plan for post-auto accident spine injury, our La Grande patients can be optimistic. Cox Technic is a well-researched form of chiropractic care that works to reduce inflammation and reduce back pain. It is often 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 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 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 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 MVAs such as whiplash and herniated discs which can be very painful if not treated properly.
