Accidents can happen anywhere, including stepping on shed pet hair and your foot slips out from under you. At first, you notice nothing more than a bruised pride but later the pain sets in. It is time to seek out a Peabody Chiropractor to investigate the damage and bring relief from pain.

When you arrive at your appointment, they will hand you some forms to fill out. They need your complete medical history, along with a list of drugs you take. Include any previous injuries, too. If your pain is severe, get a friend to take you to the appointment, or call a taxi cab to take you there and back home.

After the doctor reads your information, one of the assistants will guide you to the examination room. The doctor consults with you and then conducts some range-of-motion tests. This helps determine the extent of damage and focus on the affected areas. The doctor explains the X-rays, so you know the extent of damage.

In most cases, a massage is given to relax your muscles and relieve some of the pain. The doctor will then physically examine your spinal column for tenderness and any other abnormalities. Sometimes, it is necessary to make an adjustment to realign subluxated discs. Once they are no longer pinching a nerve, the pain starts to disappear.

Favoring an injury causes other muscles to weaken, and the doctor will show you some exercises to do at home that rebuild muscle tissues. Be sure to keep the pamphlets and paperwork showing how to do them. Now it the time to discuss how often you need to return for followup sessions.

Slip and fall accidents can break or crack bones, dislocated vertebrae, and cause bruising. If left unattended, they can haunt you for the rest of your life with continued pain. There is no reason to suffer when a Peabody Chiropractor is there to relieve the pain through holistic methods without the use of drugs.
