Slipping on ice, tripping on a trail, or falling at work can cause injuries that range from minor soreness to serious spinal misalignment. In Juneau, icy sidewalks and steep terrain make slip and fall injuries especially common. Getting checked after a fall helps prevent small problems from becoming chronic pain.
When you fall, your body absorbs the impact in ways you may not immediately notice. Your spine can shift out of alignment, joints can become restricted, and muscles tighten to protect the injured area. This protective response is helpful in the short term but can lead to chronic pain and limited mobility if left untreated.
A chiropractic evaluation after a fall checks your entire body for misalignment, restricted movement, and areas of muscle guarding. Catching these issues early is key to a full recovery.
Our treatment plan for fall injuries typically includes chiropractic adjustments to correct any spinal misalignment, soft tissue work to address muscle tension and bruising, and recommendations for exercises that improve your balance and stability.
If your fall happened at work, workers' compensation may cover your care. If it happened in a car accident, PIP insurance applies. Visit our insurance page for details, or call us and we will help you figure out your coverage.
