How A Peabody, MA Chiropractor Alleviates Slip And Fall Accident Pain

By Darcy Gautreau


An excess of dust is the only thing required to cause a fall when your foot slips out from under you. Although most occurrences happen on the job site, other family members experience these mishaps at home. If you want relief from the pain, it is time to set up an appointment with a Peabody Chiropractor.

There is nothing to fear once you get to your appointment. They want the same information as any doctor that includes your medical history, list of drugs and any previous injuries. If you are in severe pain, call a taxi cab to take you there and back home, or get a friend to help you.

The doctor reads over your information and one of the assistants guides you to an examination room. Here the doctor will conduct some range-of-motion tests to determine the severity of restricted mobility. X-rays show any spinal misalignment and related issues that impede your activity.

Not all first visits require a spinal adjustment. The first thing done is typically a massage. This helps your muscles relax and relieves some of the pain. The doctor then does a thorough examination of your spinal column to determine any tenderness and takes notes for future reference.

Favoring an injury causes other muscles to weaken, and the doctor will show you some exercises to do at home that rebuild muscle tissues. Be sure to keep the pamphlets and paperwork showing how to do them. Now it the time to discuss how often you need to return for followup sessions.

Anyone can fall and hurt themselves, and most of the time there is no damage. However, when pain ensues, and you are unable to live your normal life, it is time to seek out the benefits of holistic care through a qualified and experienced chiropractor.
