Did you know the #1 cause of death for people aged 65 and older is falls?
Injuries such as fractures may result which can lead to hospitalizations where pneumonia or blood clots can occur creating a downward spiral for this patient population.
Gait and balance disorders are among the most common causes of falls in older adults and often lead to injury, disability, loss of independence, and limited quality of life. We love helping people walk better, reduce their fall risk, and improve their quality of life.
We are a multi-specialty group with different providers such as our Doctors of Physical Therapy who specialize in treatments for gait and balance problems.
Our unique Balance & Gait Program has helped many people and gives you an opportunity to be evaluated for any abnormalities in your walking patterns. We can assess if you need an assistive device such a cane or a walker; if you already have one, then we can help by appropriately sizing it to be the perfect fit for you.
This program can help a wide range of people from geriatrics to athletes. We can work on fall prevention for the geriatric population and even perform running analysis utilizing videos for the athletic population.
Feel free to call us today if you would like a no-charge consultation to assess your balance or gait. We are happy to help anyway that we can!
