Getting Back on Your Feet After an Injury

We acknowledge that no two cases or patients are the same and, as such, approach each individual with a careful, personalized plan to maximize the potential of recovering and returning to your normal hobbies and daily activities as soon as possible.
Contact iRISE Spine and Joint to begin your recovery.
Common Causes of Slip and Falls
While many attribute their slip and fall to personal clumsiness, these types of accidents are more likely a result of insufficient upkeep of the property. Common maintenance issues that cause slip and fall accidents include:
- Loose flooring or carpet
- Malfunctioning escalators
- Poor lighting
- Tripping hazards
- Unmarked wet floors
Slip and falls can happen due to a variety of factors in a neglected space and are not limited to those listed above. However it happened, our medical team can evaluate the injuries you suffered and work towards a plan for your recovery.
Common Injuries from Slip and Falls
A slip and fall results in serious injury in 20% of cases according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among the most common injuries people face are:
- Broken bones
- Concussions
- Fractures
- Herniated discs
- Muscle sprains
- Muscle strains
- Whiplash
While some injuries, like a broken bone, are more obvious to the victim, others may be brushed off by the victim as standard soreness. Some may not even realize have sustained a serious injury. Back injuries are among the conditions that go unacknowledged for the longest, even though the individual will suffer from it immediately upon impact. They could be experiencing:
- Localized pain
- Muscle spasms
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness
- Tenderness
- Pain that worsens with specific movements
Our chiropractic care specialists can help you address and recover from back pain stemming from your slip and fall accident.
