- Sidewalks, elevators, or curbs
- Home or office
- Driveways, parking lots, garages
- Restrooms, gyms, pools
- Shopping centers, departmental stores
- Restaurants, bars, and clubs
- Construction areas
- Sports field
- Stairs or escalators
Types of Injuries That Need Attention:
Muscle strain or muscle pull: When you slip or trip, you sometimes grab on to something to prevent you from falling, which creates a muscle strain. This strain damages the muscle or the attached tendons. Our experts can ensure that your muscles are restored.
Back injury: A common injury due to slip and fall is hurting the back. Back injuries can hamper your daily routines and create a lot of discomfort. Our chiropractors are exceptional at easing the pain caused by back injuries.
Fractures and Dislocation: These can be quite painful and reduce mobility for weeks. We at DFW Chiropractic can help with a speedy recovery.
