How West Des Moines Chiropractic and Cox® Technic Can Help After a Motor Vehicle Accident
If you’ve experienced a West Des Moines motor vehicle accident (MVA), it can leave you with serious spine-related pain in the neck or back. Fortunately, the West Des Moines chiropractic care with Cox® Technic at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa can help alleviate your pain. Let’s explore how this form of treatment can help those suffering from severe back pain after an auto 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 permanent injury status. This led the authors to suggest the development of a global way of evaluating medical impairment after MVAs to reduce psychological and financial burdens for both the injured person and his/her community. (1) In creating guidelines to oversee the care of traffic injuries, an expert panel found that injured persons wished to partner with their healthcare team, desired a better understanding of the healthcare and insurance system sooner after their injury, needed support for their emotional distress, and valued 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 that.

GENTLE CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT FOR MVA PAIN RELIEF
By our use of gentle chiropractic care including Cox® Technic as part of the treatment plan for post-auto accident spine injury, our West Des Moines patients have reason to be optimistic. Cox Technic is an advanced form of chiropractic care that works to reduce 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 forms 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, decrease inflammation, and ease 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 apply pressure to specific points on the spine in order to achieve maximum relief from pain and discomfort. This technique has been effective for treating many types of spinal injuries associated with motor vehicle accidents such as whiplash and herniated discs which can be quite painful if not treated properly.
