Why Choose Chiropractic Care After a Slip and Fall?
The force of a fall can impact your body in many ways. Often, these falls cause misalignments in your spine and joints, also known as subluxations. These misalignments can irritate nerves, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. While traditional medicine may rely on medication and imaging tests, chiropractic care offers a natural, drug-free approach to address the underlying cause of your pain.
Common Slip and Fall Injuries Treated by Chiropractors
Falls often cause pain in the lower back due to muscular strain, ligament sprain, or herniated disc. Chiropractic care can address these injuries and promote healing.
The impact of a fall can cause injuries to the neck muscles and joints and, of course, herniated discs. Chiropractic adjustments can improve mobility and reduce neck pain.
This common injury occurs when the head is jerked forcefully back and forth, causing strain and inflammation in the neck and upper back muscles. Chiropractic care can be highly effective in managing whiplash symptoms.
Rolling an ankle during a fall can be painful and debilitating. Chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation exercises can help promote healing and improve ankle stability.
Hip injuries can occur after a fall, causing pain and difficulty walking. Chiropractic care can improve hip mobility and alleviate pain.

What to Expect from Chiropractic Care After a Slip and Fall
During your initial consultation, Dr. Amina Ahmad will discuss the details of the accident, current symptoms, and your medical history.
Dr. Amina Ahmad will begin with a physical examination - a thorough examination that will help us identify signs and symptoms of ligament damage, musculoskeletal issues, and more. We will assess your range of motion, strength, stability, and look for any deformities or abnormalities.
This thorough physical examination may include range-of-motion assessments, orthopedic tests, and possibly X-rays (if deemed necessary). Based on this information, Dr. Amina Ahmad will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific injuries and recovery goals.
Once we determine exactly what afflicts you and what you want to accomplish, we will not only establish a step-by-step plan, we will set goals and benchmarks for your recovery.
Our goal is to seek and find the underlying causes of what troubles you so we can provide quick and effective relief while setting the foundation to prevent any reoccurrence in the future.
With you, we will develop an in-depth, exhaustive treatment plan that will outline, step-by-step, each stage of your treatment, each goal, and, importantly, what success looks like.
