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

By Darcy Gautreau


Accidents can happen anywhere, including stepping on shed pet hair and your foot slips out from under you. At first, you notice nothing more than a bruised pride but later the pain sets in. It is time to seek out a Peabody Chiropractor to investigate the damage and bring relief from pain.

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.

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.

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.

After the doctor has all the information gathered and studied, he or she shows you some exercises that are intended to assist healing in the affected areas. At this time, you will know how often you need to return for additional sessions to maintain your progress and prevent future issues.

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.
