Care After a Fall, With Your Next Steps in Focus
A fall can leave you sore, uncertain, and less comfortable moving through your day. Health First evaluates appropriate musculoskeletal complaints after slip-and-fall injuries and discusses conservative care based on your findings.
Start by Understanding the Injury
The way you landed, the area that hurts, and changes in your movement all matter. Tell your provider whether you hit your head, landed on an outstretched arm, twisted a joint, or developed symptoms after the incident.
Not every fall-related injury is suitable for chiropractic or passive therapy. A suspected fracture, head injury, or other serious injury needs appropriate medical assessment before routine treatment.
Shoulder Pain
Describe pain with reaching, lifting, or using your arm.
Soft Tissue Concerns
Explore symptoms involving muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Your Visit, Step by Step
01 · Share Your Story
Tell your provider when symptoms began, what makes them worse, and how they affect your daily routine.
02 · Understand Your Options
Your evaluation helps determine suitable care and whether further medical assessment is needed.
03 · Review Your Progress
Discuss your response to care and any changes in symptoms so your plan can be reassessed.
What to Bring
Bring identification, a current medication list, and any relevant discharge instructions, imaging reports, or prior treatment records you already have. If an attorney is involved, you may also bring their contact information. Ask our team which paperwork is needed before your visit.
Questions Before Your Visit
Should I wait until the soreness goes away?
If symptoms persist, worsen, or limit daily activities, contact a healthcare professional. Severe symptoms after a fall require prompt medical attention.
Does everyone need an adjustment?
No. Recommendations depend on your examination and whether conservative care is appropriate.
Do you work with attorney referrals?
Health First works with attorney referrals and considers qualifying Letters of Protection. Contact the team to discuss the process.
