Slip & Falls

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Slip and fall accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, some of which may not be immediately noticeable but can worsen over time without proper care. Common injuries from slip and falls include:

• Sprains and Strains: These are common injuries involving stretched or torn ligaments and muscles, particularly in the lower back, neck, and ankles.

• Spinal Misalignments: Falls can lead to misalignments in the spine, which can cause pain, stiffness, and nerve compression, often resulting in headaches, back pain, or sciatica.

• Whiplash: A sudden fall can cause the neck to jerk forward and back, leading to whiplash, which results in pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.

• Fractures and Dislocations: In more severe slip and fall accidents, broken bones or joint dislocations may occur, leading to long-term pain and immobility if not properly treated.

• Head Injuries: A blow to the head during a fall can result in concussions or other traumatic brain injuries, which require immediate medical attention.

• Soft Tissue Damage: Injuries to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments, especially in the back, neck, and legs, can cause chronic pain and restricted movement if left untreated.

 

Chiropractic Treatments for Slip and Fall Injuries

At Renu Chiropractic, we provide effective, non-invasive treatments to help you recover from slip and fall injuries and prevent long-term pain. Some of the chiropractic therapies we offer include:

• Spinal Adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, reduce nerve interference, and alleviate pain caused by misalignments resulting from a fall. By restoring proper alignment, we help your body heal naturally and efficiently.

• Massage Therapy: Therapeutic massage can relax tense muscles and improve circulation, reducing pain and promoting faster recovery from soft tissue injuries like sprains, strains, and whiplash.

• Rehabilitative Exercises: We provide exercises and stretches to strengthen the muscles around the spine, improve flexibility, and help you regain full mobility. These exercises also help prevent future injuries.

• Postural Correction: Poor posture can exacerbate pain after a fall. We’ll teach you proper posture techniques that reduce strain on your spine and muscles, improving overall health and preventing further injury.

• Ice and Heat Therapy: Ice and heat treatments are often used to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote healing in soft tissue injuries, bruises, and swelling.

• Lifestyle and Ergonomic Advice: We offer guidance on lifestyle changes and ergonomic adjustments to prevent future slip and fall accidents, such as tips for better balance, safer home environments, and improved movement patterns.
