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

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.

When you arrive at your appointment, they will hand you some forms to fill out. They need your complete medical history, along with a list of drugs you take. Include any previous injuries, too. If your pain is severe, get a friend to take you to the appointment, or call a taxi cab to take you there and back home.

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.

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.

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.
