Advanced Care to Improve Balance and Reduce Risks

Falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults and can have a serious impact on independence and quality of life. At The Podiatry Center, we offer Safe Balance, a comprehensive fall prevention solution designed to improve stability, increase mobility, and help patients move with confidence.


We begin with a complete evaluation to identify physical, environmental, and medication-related factors that may increase your risk of falling. Based on these findings, our podiatrists create a personalized care plan tailored to your individual needs. By addressing multiple areas of risk, Safe Balance helps restore stability, reduce fear of falling, and promote long-term safety.


Our program combines advanced technology, education, and targeted therapies to strengthen balance and prevent future falls. With proactive care, patients benefit from improved mobility, reduced injury risk, and greater confidence in their daily activities.


Our goal is to provide the resources and support you need to stay safe, active, and independent for years to come.

  • “Many people who fall, even if they're not injured, become afraid of falling. This fear may cause a person to cut down on their everyday activities. When a person is less active, they become weaker and this increases their chances of falling.”
