Beginning from childhood year's accidental injuries accumulate. The
leading cause, by far, are "slip and fall" injuries. Many result in simple
scrapes and minor bruises. However, broken bones are not uncommon and
very often back and neck displacement occurs with serious consequences.
Slip and fall injury can then open the door to pain everywhere in the body.
Stanger Injury Treatment Centers offer patients a blend of disciplines in
one environment that address slip and fall injuries as a team approach.
Chiropractic, physical and massage therapies are applied to fit the precise
need of each patient. And it is a treatment technique proven over the past
37 years at our centers.
Most injuries from hard falls must be given medical attention and
examination because of the potential for broken or chipped bones. If they
include trauma to the spine then normal body motion is disturbed and this
sets the stage for problems that can continue over decades. Injuries of this
type often result in chronic pain, a condition frequently encountered and
always challenging to the treatment provider.
These spills slip and tumbles usually wrench muscles, tendons, and even
spinal discs. What is more, the resulting pain is not always in proportion to
the damage that has been done. Our bodies have built-in pain "Mockers"
that can screen serious damage for varying periods though swelling and
discoloration are present. If left unattended such injuries to soft tissue result
in formation of scars formation. These areas never full return to their
normal pre-injury state.
