WHAT TO DO AFTER
A SLIP AND FALL
Falls are one of the main sources of accidental injuries.
Slip and fall accidents are one of the main sources of accidental injuries in the United States, representing roughly 8.9 million visits to doctors’ offices every year (NSC Injury Facts 2011). Whether you have fallen or have a relative or friend that has fallen, Access Injury & Primary Care is here to help. Falls are the second-highest reason for deaths in nursing homes, creating more than 25,000 fatalities in 2009 because the danger of slip and fall issues increases with age. Most happen with entryways, slopes, uneven surfaces, areas prone to spills, stairs, or locations with increased movement.

SCREENING AND DIAGNOSIS
Slip and fall injuries should immediately seek treatment from qualified professionals so no further damage occurs. The treatment should include an assessment for history of the injury, full restorative examination including an analysis of the framework, and specialized procedures such as X-rays, CT scans and MRI’s. Our physicians are skilled in the complete understanding of the side effects due to these types of injuries; for example, a skull fracture, minor brain damage or extreme joint sprain.
