It’s icy out there! Here’s what to do if you’ve had a slip and fall 👇
1️⃣ Don’t brush it off.
Adrenaline can mask pain. What feels “not so bad” can turn into neck stiffness, low back pain, or headaches days later.
2️⃣ Document everything.
If it happened on ice, in a parking lot, at work, or in a public space — take photos and make note of the time and location.
3️⃣ Get assessed early.
Falls often impact the spine, hips, wrists, and shoulders. Early evaluation helps prevent long-term dysfunction and chronic pain patterns.
4️⃣ Watch for delayed symptoms.
Headaches, dizziness, reduced range of motion, radiating pain, or numbness are signs you shouldn’t ignore.
5️⃣ Know your options.
Whether it’s chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, or collaborative care — early treatment supports better recovery.
At Kinesis Health Associates, we see slip and fall injuries often — especially during Nova Scotia winters. If you’ve had a fall (even a “minor” one), don’t wait until it becomes something bigger.
Your body whispers before it screams. Listen to it. 🤍
