A woman I know slipped on the ice a week ago and yesterday she was having pains shoot in her hips and down her legs. She had never been to a Chiropractor before, and emailed me asking me if a Chiropractor should be her next step in regaining her health.

YES! YES! YES!

When someone falls, they jar their entire body. The impact can misalign their hips, back, shoulders, neck, arms, forearms, ankles...and more! Chiropractic care is used by professional athletes after an injury to get back to work, so why not you?

How does Chiropractic help my body after a fall?

Falling or even slipping without actually hitting the ground can misalign joints all over the body. Over time if this misalignment is not corrected, you may experience pain, numbness, burning, tingling, swelling, and more. If this isn't addressed for years, a person may be diagnosed with a bulging or herniated spinal disc, or even arthritis in the joints that took the hardest hit.

Chiropractors are experts that are trained in DETECTING and CORRECTING these minor misalignments of the body. Keep in mind that just because these are called minor misalignments, know that many times they cause MAJOR problems if left untreated!

Think about what happens to your car after you go over a really deep pothole...some car owners not only have to get an alignment of their car, but in the worst cases have to buy a brand new TIRE! If your car is pulling to the left, you would get an alignment, right? Why? Because you don't want to be forced to buy new tires after they have worn unevenly.

You can buy new tires! You cannot buy a new back! Get yourself adjusted as soon as possible after a fall or slip to get your body back in proper alignment.
