Stay Steady. Stay Strong. Stay Independent.
​
Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults—and most of them are preventable. If you’ve experienced dizziness, instability, or a recent fall, it’s important to take action before it happens again.
At Chiropractic Partners in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Graham Clements provides comprehensive balance and fall risk assessments to identify the root cause of instability and develop personalized strategies to improve strength, coordination, and confidence.
A simple assessment today could prevent a serious injury tomorrow.
Why Balance Matters
Balance is a complex process that relies on your nervous system, musculoskeletal system, inner ear (vestibular system), and vision all working together. When any part of this system is impaired, you may feel unsteady or experience difficulty walking, standing, or turning.
Many people don’t realize they have a balance problem until they fall—and by then, it may be too late to avoid injury.
Dr. Clements uses a proactive approach to assess your current fall risk and create a care plan to help you move with confidence.
Who Should Get a Fall Risk Assessment?
Balance and fall risk assessments are recommended for:
-
Adults age 65 and older
-
People who have previously fallen or stumbled
-
Individuals experiencing dizziness or vertigo
-
Those with neuropathy or nerve damage
-
Patients with poor posture or spinal misalignment
-
Individuals recovering from surgery or injury
-
People who feel unsteady walking on uneven surfaces
If you’ve found yourself holding on to walls, furniture, or handrails more than usual—or avoiding activity due to fear of falling—it’s time to get evaluated.
What’s Involved in a Fall Risk Assessment?
Dr. Clements performs a detailed evaluation using:
-
Neurological testing to assess proprioception and nerve communication
-
Postural assessment to examine structural imbalances
-
Gait analysis to observe how you walk and shift your weight
