Treatments for Slip and Fall Injuries Provided by Your San Antonio Chiropractor

Lumbar Decompression

Lumbar decompression is a noninvasive chiropractic technique that gently creates negative pressure between spinal vertebrae. Decompressing your spine allows vertebrae and intervertebral discs to return to their normal positions. This not only removes pressure off nerves comprising your central nervous system but also increases oxygen and blood flow to the spine to facilitate healing and back pain relief. Since your lower (lumbar) back vertebrae are subject to heavier loads than middle and cervical vertebrae, the need to treat this particular area of your back with lumbar decompression therapy following a slip and fall injury is essential for alleviating pain and stiffness.

Cold Laser Therapy

Drug-free and noninvasive, cold laser therapy involves targeting injured soft tissues with therapeutic levels of laser energy to stimulate cellular production of ATP, a chemical needed by cells to remain functional. Cold laser therapy provided by your San Antonio chiropractor transforms damaged cells into healthy cells that actively heal soft tissue injuries caused by slips and falls.
