Slip & Fall Accident Injury Treatment in Jacksonville

Our Chiropractor Can Help You Get Back on Your Feet

Seeking treatment after a slip or fall is always a wise idea, especially if the incident happens on the job. If an injury occurs, the earlier you seek and receive care the better your chances are of avoiding any long-term complications. Plus, many injuries following traumatic incidents don't reveal any signs or symptoms until days or even weeks later and ignoring a problem (or being ignorant to its very existence) can end up costing you a lot in time, money, energy, and peace of mind.

At Amazing Spine Care, our Jacksonville chiropractic staff, led by trilingual clinician Dr. Alan Khiger, want to educate folks on fall prevention and raise awareness about just how beneficial chiropractic care can be if an unavoidable stumble occurs.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

• Sprains and strains: These are the most common types of slip and fall injuries, involving damage to ligaments or muscles.
• Fractures: Broken bones are another common result of falls, especially in the wrists, ankles, and hips.
• Head injuries: Falls can lead to concussions, traumatic brain injuries, or even fatalities.
• Neck and back injuries: Slip and fall accidents can cause herniated discs, whiplash, and other spinal injuries.

Helpful Tips for Avoiding Slips & Falls

Falls cost the US healthcare system billions of dollars every year in direct and indirect costs. Here are some useful tips for minimizing your risk of falling wherever life may take you:

• Wear supportive and sturdy shoes.
• Stay active, lean, and well hydrated.
• If walking on a slippery surface, take shorter steps and place your entire foot down at once, instead of the usual "heel-toe" progression, this increases surface area on contact.
• Always hold railings on stairs.
• Take any medications as prescribed and talk to your doctor about possible side effects.
• When carrying objects, stay within your own safe limits and use any tools or equipment available to you.

If you do fall, if possible, tuck your chin, brace yourself with your entire forearms, and keep your arms close to you. Common falling injuries (whiplash, concussion, brachial plexus injuries, bone fractures, shoulder dislocations, muscle strains, etc.) can be minimized this way.
