Involved in a Slip and Fall Accident in Atlanta?

Slip and Fall injuries are considered to be one of the most common types of accidents.

Injury victims typically experience disruption of nerve signals, resulting in acute pain.

As one ages, slip and fall accidents are more likely to cause a misalignment of the spine and even broken bones. This  is why our chiropractors at Integrated Health and Injury can help you get back on your feet and resolve your common injuries from a slip and fall.

Our Atlanta Chiropractor Can Help With Workplace Slip and Fall Injuries

Types of Workplace Slip and Fall Accidents

Research shows that slip and fall is the second most common reason for workplace injuries. There are many reasons why a slip and fall injury can occur. Some reasons include, slick floors, uneven surfaces, unsafe heights, clutter, or loose flooring material. Some injury victims experience a slip and fall due to another incident.

You could be in a cluttered space and need to make room for another person that’s carrying a large object, and then it happens — you slip and fall, due to a simple reaction. If you have a slip and fall accident at work, our skilled chiropractors at Integrated Health and Injury in Atlanta can help you recover from your injury.

Common Injuries in Workplace Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can result in major injuries like spinal cord damage and traumatic brain injuries. However, not all slip and fall accidents result in major injuries. Some result in less severe injuries which still cause severe pain that require chiropractic care to help increase the lost motion. Below is a list of the most common injuries that result from a slip and fall accident. 

Slip and Fall Back Injuries

During a fall, your back muscles will tense up in order to protect you from the impact. This results in a spine that’s out of alignment and causes muscle spasms and back pain.

Having a misaligned spine can lead to pressure on a disk which can cause debilitating back pain. If you’re experiencing severe back pain from a slip and fall, call Integrated Health and Injury to help you get back on your feet.

Slip and Fall Neck Injuries

A neck injury may not be realized right away during a slip and fall. This is due to the common fact that the injury experienced to the neck is a soft tissue injury. Soft tissue injuries sometimes don’t show up for several days — or even several weeks after the incident. If you’re experiencing neck injuries, you need to speak to one of our chiropractors today.

Slip and Fall Shoulder Injuries

During a fall in which you extend your arm out to protect yourself from the incoming fall, you could experience a shoulder injury as you awkwardly land on the ground. It’s more than likely that you have dislocated your shoulder, which will result in a sharp pain and significant loss of motion in your shoulder joint.
