Why not fall prevention?

Next on the list: Fall Savings Fashion…

So avoid loosely draping clothes that could trip you up.

And even though slippers are easy to put on and takeoff they can cause problems too.
So I recommend formfitting slip resistant footwear, even if you need to get an extended handle shoehorn to help get them on and off.

Then there’s first floor: Housekeeping.

If you can live on one level, it saves the risks of trips on the stairs and more serious injuries. And while we’re on the topic of floors, Keep the floors clear of clothes, pet food, extension cords or anything that may have fallen.

Just a few more details that you may need some help with.

Keep a clear well-lit path to the bathroom through the kitchen and to every exit.

In the bathroom do you know you have to have handrails and nonslip surfaces.

And in the kitchen keep everything you need within reach to avoid needing a fall multiplying stepstool.

Again, this is just a quick list and follow the link if you want more details and information for fall savings.

Introduction

No doctor can guarantee the outcome of any treatment. And I never do.

But I know that a lot people don’t have to suffer with fear of falling.

And, I can’t go into all the possibilities on how we might manage your case, here.

Because there is no one size fits all answer to any health condition.

Just a few simple rules.

For example, my balance patients get better results when they: Keep their upper cervical chiropractic appointments, to reduce common balance and posture problems that stresses joints. And follow their custom diet plans, because inflammatory foods can affect balance too.

Most people benefit even more with the right supplements. We often save people money with higher quality supplements because they only take what they need.

Finally, they do their home therapy and balance rehabilitation exercises daily. Because we encourage freedom from drugs, surgery, and countless doctors’ visits.

As far as I know, there is no other way to avoid injuries.
