Slip and Fall Injury – When to Seek Treatment

When the body is suddenly subjected to the trauma of a severe slip and fall, a number of things can go wrong—and sometimes it’s hard to identify their severity.  Pain is one indicator, but the presence of pain or lack thereof isn’t always the most efficient communicator of injury or damage.  During a slip or fall, the spine and extremities can become misaligned or injured as the body attempts to catch itself and find solid footing. Sudden impact with the ground or other hard surface can also amount to both hard and soft tissue damage.

If you’ve experienced a slip or fall, or if you’re experiencing pain that could be connected to a previous injury, it’s wise to seek to examination and, if needed, pursue treatment.  Slip and fall injuries affect the body in numerous ways and the full effects aren’t always immediate, but with a professional assessment, we can address any issues and develop a safe, effective physical therapy treatment plan.

Here at Bezak Chiropractic and Rehabilitation we provide a number of physical therapy and chiropractic treatment services to help our patients who have suffered from a slip and fall injury, as well as subsequent complications.  These include comprehensive and personalized therapeutic exercise programs, as well as advanced pain relieving treatments like ultrasound and EMS therapy.  We invite you to contact us directly to learn more about our treatments and how that can benefit you in your slip and fall injury recovery.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

You’ve likely heard of omega-3 fatty acids, but do you know why you’re so important? Omega-3 fatty acids are included among the essential fatty acids that are needed to maintain health and homeostasis.  They help the body naturally fight inflammation and the numerous health issues that can result, including arthritis, asthma, generalized pain and even mood disorders like depression.

If you’re trying to increase your intake omega-3 fatty acids, they can be found in a number of natural sources, including:

• Wild Salmon


• Anchovies and Sardines


• Walnuts


• Flaxseed


• Canola Oil

Healthy Eating

What you put into your body plays a considerable role into how it performs, heals and maintains a state of health.  As we help many of our patients with the complete chiropractic and rehabilitative services we provide at Bezak Chiropractic, we also stress the importance of healthy eating and how it factors into your health, wellness, longevity and ability. While fad foods and diets may come and go, healthy eating always involves balance of calories and activities, plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and natural protein, along with a balance of vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients.  We also stress the importance of staying fully hydrated no matter what you do.

For guidance on healthy eating in conjunction with your wellness program, contact us here at Bezak Chiropractic.

Headaches

Headaches and migraines affect many individuals on a regular basis. While this discomfort is quite common, many sufferers aren’t aware of the underlying cause.  Tension and misalignment that affects the upper back and neck are among the most common cause of chronic headaches.  Here at Bezak Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, we’ve helped many patients determine the underlying cause of their headaches and subsequently find lasting and natural relief.

Spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercise, stress release technique and other treatments can all amount to significant reduction, if not total elimination of chronic headaches and migraines. If you’ve been suffering from headache pain and you cannot find a cause or treatment that has worked for you, arrange at appointment with us here at Bezak Chiropractic and Rehabilitation.
