How to Recover From a Fall With Chiropractic Care

By Alexis Mills

Especially with the cold weather this winter, extra caution should be exercised because it makes the likelihood of a fall even greater. One misstep on a slick surface and you could fall and injure yourself. Having a bad fall is definitely scary and can cause trauma to the joints, bones, muscles, and ligaments.

Not surprisingly, a fall can actually create a restriction, commonly called a misalignment, in the spine that can create even more pain and limitations throughout the body. After you fall, it's important to explore drug-free treatment first, and chiropractic care is the perfect place to start. Without proper treatment, a simple wintertime fall could actually lead to a lifetime of pain and discomfort.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

A chiropractor helps the body by adjusting the spine and repair the communication within the central nervous system and the brain. By lessening the interference that disrupts the communication with your nervous system, it allows the body an opportunity to do its magic and heal itself. Chiropractors are able to treat injuries with a drug-free approach to make sure that your spine is aligned and working properly.

How It Will Work

Chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic will begin with an in-depth consultation that includes questions about your overall health, specific health issues, and how you might have hurt yourself. You should provide your chiropractor with as much detail as possible about your fall and what parts of the body that are affected. Afterward, there will be an examination to take note, and to see what exactly is going on, and see what needs to be fixed. Through this process, the chiropractor will come up with a customized treatment or adjustment that's specific to your needs.

The adjustment occurs, usually on a table; the chiropractor will use his hands to free the joints of any restrictions, allowing them to move freely and clearing the way for your nervous system to work optimally. Make sure to wear comfortable clothing in which you are able to move freely. The adjustment offers a safe, effective pressure to alleviate pain that allows the body to improve its ability to heal. If your injury is more serious, a chiropractor will refer you for appropriate additional care.
