Can Physiotherapy Help after I Have Slipped and Fell?
In the winter and early spring, we see many “slip and fall” injuries. Slippery sidewalks, snow covered driveways, and tripping over snow covered objects are just some of the common winter injuries that we see.
These injuries often include sore wrists and shoulders from landing on outstretched arms, aching necks from the whiplash, or painful hips and ankles from falls.
Fortunately, if you have experienced a fall from the conditions outside, we can help! At MOMENTUM Physical Therapy, here in Okotoks, we can assess your painful landing spot and let you know exactly what is going on, and provide you with the hands on treatment and exercise you need to get better quickly. We can also often work on ways to prevent you from falling again.
It is important to note that the sooner your seek help after falling, the quicker your recovery will be.
