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

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


by Darcy Gautreau


Falling down is embarrassing and in bracing for the impact it often causes greater damage. It is too late, after the fact, to think about relaxing into the fall. Now there is the pain and suffering to deal with unless you consider setting up an appointment with a Peabody Chiropractor.

The first thing you do is fill out some forms with all your medical history, including drugs you take. Give a short description of how the accident happened and where you experience pain. If you are unable to drive, get a friend to bring you to the appointment.

After the doctor reads your information, one of the assistants will guide you to the examination room. The doctor consults with you and then conducts some range-of-motion tests. This helps determine the extent of damage and focus on the affected areas. The doctor explains the X-rays, so you know the extent of damage.

In most cases, a massage proves valuable in relaxing the patient and relieving some of the pain. Then, the doctor does a physical examination of your spinal column to determine tender areas. Your first appointment does not always include a spinal adjustment. Other possibilities including traction often manage the problem

Exercise and a maintenance schedule are vital to the success of your recovery. There are special exercises designed for each area of the spine and relief of pinched nerves. It is important that you keep your appointments, and call well in advance if you must reschedule.

Slip and fall accidents can break or crack bones, dislocated vertebrae, and cause bruising. If left unattended, they can haunt you for the rest of your life with continued pain. There is no reason to suffer when a Peabody Chiropractor is there to relieve the pain through holistic methods without the use of drugs.
