Fall Prevention
Falls are a major cause of disability and mortality in older individuals. One of the most common factors contributing to falls is muscle weakness, pain, or dizziness. For many older adults, the underlying issue is often related to body conditioning or a chronic condition that affects their ability to maintain balance. These factors can significantly increase the risk of falling and lead to serious consequences.
At our clinic, we approach balance issues and fall risk by first understanding the primary cause of the problem. Whether it’s due to muscle weakness, joint pain, or a specific condition affecting mobility, we identify the root cause to tailor a treatment plan that effectively addresses the issue.
Our treatment typically includes strengthening the muscles, particularly those that help maintain balance and stability. This may involve working on the affected areas of the body and targeting movements that contribute to better balance. By improving muscle strength and coordination, we can help patients regain confidence in their ability to move without fear of falling.
Additionally, we create follow-up plans that encourage patients to continue working on their balance independently. This may include personalized exercises or strategies for maintaining strength and stability at home. Our goal is to empower patients to manage their balance on their own, reducing the risk of future falls and improving overall mobility. Through this comprehensive approach, we help older adults live with greater independence and confidence.
