The number one risk to seniors is falling and injuring themselves. Falls can lead to serious injuries like broken bones, head trauma, or hip fractures. These injuries may require long hospital stays, rehabilitation, or other medical treatment that can drain elders financially and leave them feeling frustrated about not being able to live independently in their homes.

Balance disorders in the elderly are a serious problem. According to a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 out of every 3 adults over the age of 65 will suffer from a fall each year.

Balance disorders in the elderly is a serious problem. These health problems can lead to a variety of concerns such as cognitive decline, depression and physical injuries. Research has found that balance disorders are more prevalent in the elderly population than heart disease or cancer.

Falls are a prevalent issue for older adults because they have a harder time balancing and recovering from injuries. One reason for this is that their central nervous system can’t function as well as a younger adult’s. Although it may be a natural part of aging, there are ways to prevent falls and accidents in the elderly.

The best treatment for fall injuries is to avoid falling. I have treated too many fall injuries that would have never happened if the patient had some preventative balance rehabilitation. Here are my top three recommendations.

Functional Medicine Vitamins Supplements

Medication can be important, but many medications increase the risk of falling.

Functional Medicine practitioners focus on restoring function and supporting healing, instead of just treating symptoms. And that could reduce the risks.

Home Therapy Rehabilitation 

Home therapy is more popular than ever and advances in technology makes telehealth communication and monitoring easier than ever. We prescribe and monitor home therapies designed to support healing and non-invasive relief for many conditions that may otherwise require over medication.

Upper Cervical Care

The master class secret tip to alignment, balance, and coordination. The upper neck joints strongly influence balance and coordination in the whole body. Certified Upper Cervical Chiropractors spend as much time studying this area specifically as a medical doctor spends in all of medical school. And that allows them to dramatically improve alignment, balance, and coordination, without ever twisting or cracking anyone’s neck or back.

Hi, I am Dr. Thomas Polucki, WebMD‘s choice for best chiropractor near me and functional medicine in Santa Clarita. I taught at two chiropractic colleges and have over thirty years of clinical experience with alignment, balance, and coordination rehabilitation. For more than 10 years I’ve managed over 300 Functional Medicine Practitioners across America as their Medical Director.

And I hope I can save you or a loved one from lengthy convalescence due to a fall. Please Google some of my reviews. Not everyone is a good candidate and the only way I can determine if someone might find relief here, is with a consultation.
