Question
Dear Dr.  I took a bad fall and broke my fall on both hands and both knees as well as entire right arm.  From my neck down to my wrist is all sore and xrays showed no break.  This occurred on 9/21/08 and I am still not better. What do you sugest.

Answer
Hello Kathleen,

   Even though you have no broken bones you may have sustained soft tissue injuries (muscle strains and ligament sprains), also injuries to the joints do not show up on x-ray, cartilage damage etc.  You may want to see a Doctor of Chiropractic for treatment as we specialize in the biomechanics of the joints and soft tissues in the human body.  You may find that Chiropractic treatment beneficial to your condition.

Have a great day,
Dr. Brendon O'Brien D.C.
