Slip & Fall Injuries in Aliso Viejo, CA
Back injuries, hip pain, and spinal misalignment from falls on slippery surfaces, uneven walkways, and stairways. Chiropractic care restores alignment.
Slip and fall accidents are among the most underestimated causes of spinal injury. When you lose your footing, the body's reflexive attempt to catch itself creates sudden, uncontrolled forces that jar the spine, pelvis, and surrounding joints out of alignment. Landing on the tailbone, hip, or outstretched hand can produce compression fractures, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, lumbar disc herniations, and widespread muscle strain. Because many slip and fall victims initially feel only soreness — dismissing the event as minor — structural damage frequently goes undiagnosed until chronic pain develops weeks or months later.
Sycamore Chiropractic in Laguna Hills sees a steady stream of slip and fall patients from across Orange County — from seniors who fell at home to workers who slipped on a wet commercial floor to hikers who lost their footing on a trail. Dr. Craig Petersen performs a comprehensive evaluation that includes digital X-rays, orthopedic testing, and a functional movement assessment to identify every area of damage. Early intervention after a fall is the single most effective way to prevent acute injuries from becoming permanent pain conditions, and our office offers same-day and next-day appointments for fall-injury patients.

Evidence-Based Care
How Chiropractic Treats Slip & Fall Injuries
Treatment begins with gentle adjustments to the pelvis and sacroiliac joints, which are the structures most commonly displaced by a fall. Dr. Petersen then addresses compensatory misalignments in the lumbar and thoracic spine using a combination of manual diversified technique and instrument-assisted methods. For patients with disc involvement, flexion-distraction therapy and spinal decompression reduce intradiscal pressure and promote healing. Cold laser therapy targets inflamed soft tissues, and progressive rehabilitation exercises restore core stability, hip strength, and balance — reducing the risk of future falls. Each phase of care is guided by objective re-evaluations that track measurable improvements in function and pain levels.
