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

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.

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.

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.
