Falls Risk Assessments in Adelaide
With Dr Alison Nicholls
Back in Balance Chiropractic is now offering falls risk assessment, where we will perform an examination to ascertain areas for improvement. You will then be provided exercises to practice at home. * So if you (or someone you know) are over the age of 65 why not book in for a falls risk assessment.
We are introducing a balance and falls risk assessments at Back in Balance Chiropractic. At the end of last year Dr Alison completed further study in balance and falls risks and brings her knowledge to the clinic. Alison became interested in this topic due to her own experience with poor balance and dizziness.
Falls have a major impact on the elderly with approximately 30-40% of older adults suffering from at least one fall each year. Falls can lead to injures, activity limitations, fear of falling again and loss of mobility which can have a big impact on independence. There are multiple risk factors for falls, including but not limited to muscle weakness, medication uses, arthritis, incontinence, poor reaction time and balance deficits. Some risk factors we are unable to change but the good news is wen can improve muscle strength and balance.
As we age we see changes in our brain function including decreased sensory integration and balance. But what is balance? Balance is the ability to maintain the body’s centre of mass over its base support. In other words balance keeps us upright. There are 3 main senses that contribute to balance; vestibular (ears), vision (eyes), and proprioception (sensory input that tells your body where it is). If you have ever seen Alison mis judge walking through the door frame and hit her shoulder, you will know her proprioception needs some work. The good news is with training these areas can be improved to help your balance and reduce your risk of falling.
*Please note this is not a regular chiropractic consultant and adjustments will not be performed in this appointment.

Karen Albrechtsen13/11/2023I have been seeing Dr Paije now for about 8 years. I have arthritis with chronic spinal degeneration and Dr Paije has helped me no-end with neck, back and shoulder pain management. Using various treatments, including dry needling, I have found it immensely helpful for arthritis and pain relief treatments. I could not recommend her more highly as the best practitioner I have had in over 25 years of chronic pain issues. I have also taken my dogs in and my friends with elderly goats have even had great results! Both Dr Paije and her team are wonderful caring humans :)
