Staying Steady as the Seasons Change
Fall isn’t just about cooler weather — it’s also a time when slippery leaves, uneven ground, and shorter daylight hours increase the risk of falls. Whether you’re an older adult or simply want to stay active and safe, improving balance and mobility is essential for injury prevention.
How Balance Works in the Body
Your balance is a team effort between your muscles, joints, nervous system, and inner ear. When spinal misalignments interfere with nerve communication, coordination can be affected — making you more prone to stumbles and instability.
Chiropractic Care for Fall Prevention
Improved Joint Mobility – Keeps your body moving freely without stiffness.
Enhanced Coordination – Restores clear communication between brain and body.
Posture Support – Reduces strain that can throw off your center of gravity.
Strengthened Core – Supports stability in daily movements.
Simple At-Home Tips
Practice standing on one leg for 10–15 seconds each day.
Add gentle stretching and strength exercises to your routine.
Wear supportive, non-slip shoes.
Stay Upright, Stay Active
With the right care and simple daily habits, you can move through the season with confidence. Vert Chiropractic can help you improve your stability, protect your mobility, and prevent injuries before they happen.
