How Tallahassee Chiropractors Alleviate Slip And Fall Accident Pain

By Jamie Cudjoe


Any sudden movement can result in pinching a nerve that causes pain and does not have to be a complete fall to cause misalignment of the spine. However, victims of falls need to know how a Tallahassee Chiropractor alleviates pain from slipping and falling accidents.

Your first visit is mostly information gathering along with preliminary examinations to determine the exact areas of injury. If you are unable to drive, ask a friend or family member to drive you to the appointment.

Once you finish your paperwork, a member of the staff will call you into an examination room where the doctor starts range-of-motion tests. These determine what vertebrae attention in freeing the nerves that radiate from your spinal column. Be honest and do not try to over do or under do your abilities.

The doctor uses X-rays to see the alignment of your spine visually and often requires you lay down on the table for the equipment to take the pictures. The chiropractor then shows you the results of the X-rays and explains why you are in pain. In most cases, they ask you to lay down on the adjustment table and follow your spinal column to determine exact areas of pain.

Remember that chiropractic is a holistic method of relieving pain by realigning the spine. Most important is that surgery is considered a last resort and the doctor provides you with exercises to do when you are at home.

Slip and fall accidents usually occur on the job site but also happen around the home by any member of the family. Regardless of how serious you think the pain is, you are better off to have it examined by a trained and experienced chiropractor. Putting off medical attention often leads to additional problems when left unattended.
