Description

BALANCE AND THE RISK OF FALL One out of three adults over 65 will fall this year resulting in an injury. The 4th highest cost grouping behind Cardiac Disease, Stroke, and Cancer is Hip Replacement from a fracture after a fall. There is minimal research funding (which equals minimum effort) into an FDA approved screening for fall risk and then what to use if any screening program (or previous falls) is documented. We will briefly discuss the epidemiology, the pathophysiology, the limited diagnostics. We will also have a hands on demonstration of an FDA approved diagnostic and screening device for fall risk and a new device (that is also FDA approved) to improve a patient’s balance. Kotsanis Institute offers a patient-centered approach to health that combines the best of traditional and complementary functional medicine with nutrition called integrative medicine. We welcome you to stop by our clinic for a free tour and brief consultation with a staff member to learn about what we do here at the Kotsanis Institute. We listen to your goals, draw a roadmap to achieve your goals, and guide you every step to a symphony of health.
