Experienced Slip and Fall Chiropractor in Fairfield

Don’t Dismiss Your Fall, Even if its “Minor”

Whether you’ve twisted your ankle or hit your head during a slip and fall, don’t brush off the fact that a serious injury may have occurred. If pain is felt somewhere after slipping, this could be a sign of muscle strain, ligament sprain, or worse. If you suspect that you have suffered one or more injuries due to a slip and fall, our chiropractors at Southport Chiropractic will work with you to pinpoint the cause, and address the injury.

Common Injuries from Slip and Fall

Slip and fall accidents can result in various injuries, ranging from mild discomfort to more severe issues that require immediate attention. Common injuries include:

• Sprains and Strains: Overstretching or tearing of ligaments and muscles can cause pain and swelling.
• Herniated Discs: A slipped or ruptured disc can irritate nearby nerves, leading to significant pain and discomfort.
• Fractures: Broken bones, especially in the wrist, hip, or ankle, can occur due to a hard fall.
• Whiplash: Rapid head movement during a fall can cause neck pain and stiffness.
• Back and Neck Injuries: Misalignment of the spine or muscle strains in the upper back, mid-back, and lower back can cause chronic pain.

Chiropractic Care Can Help You Recover

Our chiropractors specialize in holistic chiropractic treatments that address the underlying causes of pain from slip and fall injuries. Because each case is unique and each injury requires its own set of treatments, a thorough examination is required to pinpoint the culprit before a course of action can be determined. In most cases, patients suffering with slip and fall injuries undergo chiropractic care, laser therapy, and massage therapy as needed.
