Updated: Nov 4, 2020

Everyone has taken a tumble at some point in their life. Maybe the driveway was slippery with ice and you wiped out, or you were playing with the dog in the yard and lost your balance. What many patients don’t realize is how important it is to see a chiropractor after. At Natural Care Chiropractic, located in Lindenhurst, IL, Drs. Mark Freund and Nicole Gopaul are here for you. Let us evaluate you for injuries before anything worsens.

Slip & Fall Accidents

After your accident, you might feel embarrassed along with some discomfort. Just remember that accidents happen to everyone so there’s no reason to be bashful. You’re going to want to see the Lindenhurst, IL, chiropractor right away. Your injuries will continue to get worse without chiropractic intervention. Your body’s experienced a trauma that can result in long-lasting issues like pinched nerves and neck pain.

The spine is particularly vulnerable to injuries during a fall. This is because patients usually fall backward. This creates swelling throughout the column, especially in the joints that connect the various areas. You’ll quickly notice a change in your daily living through muscle spasms and severe pain. Your body needs to be in complete harmony to work efficiently. That’s where treatment by your Lindenhurst, IL, chiropractors come in.

The purpose of chiropractic treatment is to assist your body in running efficiently. We use your body’s natural mechanisms to accomplish this. As mentioned, the majority of the injuries occur in the back. Chiropractic manipulation is the key to recovery. At your appointment with Drs. Freund or Gopaul, they start by examining your body. They’ll pay close attention to the spine. From there they can use chiropractic manipulation on the injured areas. For vertebrae or discs that move out-of-place, a realignment can help. Your chiropractor uses their hands or a small tool to carefully restore the injured areas. You’ll quickly start to notice an improvement in the overall health of your body.

Natural Care Chiropractic is located in Lindenhurst, IL. Drs. Mark Freund and Nicole Gopaul provide patients with friendly and effective treatment. If you’re interested in noninvasive and pharmaceutical-free treatment, schedule an appointment with us today. You can call our office at 847-265-0600 or visit our website.
