An accidental slip and fall can occur any time throughout the year; however, during winter, such accidents are more common, regardless of your age.
Sidewalks, roads, and parking spaces can get covered with snow and ice and are usually the most likely places for these types of injuries. Slip and falls can cause back injuries, lower back injuries, neck injuries, arm or hand injuries, leg injuries, knee injuries, and sometimes even result in a concussion (a usually mild blow/hit to the head causing your brain to bounce inside your skull).
If you should have a slip and fall you should visit a chiropractor. Your chiropractor will fully review your medical history, may take X-Rays, and help you determine the extent of your injury. At that point, an experienced chiropractor like Dr. Scott Jutte of Dickson Chiropractic in Dickson, TN, would provide the right chiropractic care for slip and fall injuries.
