Slip and fall injuries can happen unexpectedly — on wet floors, uneven surfaces, stairs, or during everyday activities. Even when there are no visible injuries, the impact can strain joints, irritate nerves, and stress spinal discs.
​
Pain may not always appear immediately. Stiffness, headaches, back pain, or radiating symptoms can develop hours or days later.
At Maan Chiropractic, we provide structured, condition-focused treatment for patients recovering from slip and fall injuries. Early evaluation helps identify musculoskeletal damage and determine the appropriate next steps.
Common Injuries After a Fall
Falls can affect multiple areas of the body. Common injuries include:
• Low back pain
• Neck pain
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Pinched nerves
• Shoulder injuries
• Hip pain
• Wrist strain
• Muscle spasms
• Headaches
Even a seemingly minor fall can create enough force to irritate joints and soft tissues.
Why Evaluation Matters
After a fall, inflammation and muscle guarding can mask deeper mechanical issues. Without proper assessment:
• Pain patterns may worsen
• Mobility may become restricted
• Nerve irritation can develop
• Symptoms may become chronic
A structured evaluation allows us to determine whether conservative care is appropriate or if additional medical referral is necessary.
A Structured Examination
Your visit includes:
• A detailed history of the fall
• Orthopedic testing
• Neurological evaluation
• Range of motion assessment
• Postural analysis
Digital X-rays are available in-office when clinically indicated. This allows us to document injuries accurately and develop a targeted treatment plan.
Conservative Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the areas affected. Your plan may include:
• Chiropractic adjustments
• Spinal decompression (if disc involvement is present)
• Mechanical traction
• Cold laser therapy
• Interferential current therapy
• Targeted soft tissue treatment
• Rehabilitative exercises
The focus is reducing inflammation, restoring movement, and supporting safe recovery.
When Should You Seek Care?
You should consider evaluation if:
• Pain began after a fall
• Symptoms are worsening
• Numbness or tingling develops
• Movement feels limited
• Pain interferes with daily function
Early conservative treatment may help reduce the risk of prolonged symptoms.
