Fall Prevention
As we age, the risk of falls increases, and the consequences can be severe. Falls can lead to serious injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and even death,
One of the most effective ways to prevent falls is through regular exercise. Exercise can improve balance, strength, and flexibility, all of which are essential for maintaining stability and reducing the risk of falls.
The team at Woodard Wellness can provide guidance on exercise techniques, proper footwear, assistive devices, and modifications to your home environment that can further reduce the risk of falls.
We can also assess our patients for any underlying conditions that may increase the risk of falls, such as vision or hearing impairments, medication side effects, or neurological disorders. By identifying and addressing these issues, we can help prevent falls before they occur.
