Why Falls in Older People Are More Than Just Accidents

According to Natalie Sanders, MD, one-third of people 65 years or older will sustain an injury from falling. A fall can lead to additional falls, loss of independence, and even loss of life. A fall is a crisis and, like a heart attack, a sign of something wrong. A faint and fall clinic can be vital to these patients. Dr. Sanders explains how a specialized clinic not only can treat the injuries from a fall but also identify the risk factors and help take steps to prevent you or a loved one from falling again.
