Balance, Dizziness and Fall Prevention
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries for older Americans. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, one in four Americans aged 65+ falls each year, resulting in over 2.8 million emergency room visits and 800,000 hospitalizations annually. SporTherapy has skilled clinicians who have been trained to treat balance and vestibular disorders as well as provide comprehensive education and training regarding fall prevention.
