Chiropractor in Kansas City Helps Patients with Neck and Back Pain after Slips and Falls in the Snow

As the snow falls today in Kansas City, I can't help but think of all the people who will slip, fall, get stressed out on their way home, or even worse...get in an auto accident.

Besides the obvious "BE CAREFUL!", it is so important for you to know to see your Chiropractor ASAP after a slip, fall, or especially after an accident!

 Common symptoms after a slip, fall or accident:

-Headaches

-Neck Pain

-Tight shoulders

-Tingling or numbness in arms

-Pain when breathing in or out, or with twisting of the ribcage

-Lower back or hip pain

-A "catch" in the back which feels like you can't move certain ways without pain

-Numbness or tingling in legs

-Knee or ankle pain - especially in a slip and fall on ice or snow

 With a more severe injury, quick Chiropractic attention can take weeks to months off your recovery time.  That's right...WEEKS OR MONTHS!

Chiropractors are trained to detect and remove misalignments in joints throughout the body.  In nearly every injury I've treated, there are multiple areas of the body that are misaligned.  Adjustments to the spine and affected joints can provide relief that can be noticeable instantaneously, as well as cumulatively over time.  With any injury, it takes a series of treatments to realign the body and ensure that it has stabilized. The severity of your injury as well as your hydration level, diet, stress level, and sleeping habits will all play a role in how quickly you will heal.  A great Chiropractor coaches their patients on all of these aspects to ensure the quickest possible recovery.

I am very thorough with each patient to uncover all the areas that need attention and correction.  With Chiropractic care, proper hydration, and the right home care follow up, you can feel great again!
