INJURY PREVENTION
Invest in wellness so you don't have to pay for illness
Biomechanical Assessment
Annual exams are the norm in healthcare, but the physical assessment often falls short in identifying risk factors for injury. Don't wait to get hurt! Dr. Casey's comprehensive assessments uncover underlying impairments that might have been missed in a short in-office visit.
Gait Aid Fitting/Training
Gait aids are used for balance, pain management, mechanical improvement, and energy conservation. It takes a professional to accurately prescribe and properly fit assistive devices. Use of gait aids requires establishment and subsequent maintenance of strength, postural conditioning, and coordination. It is never too soon to improve gait mechanics and decrease fall risk.
Early Intervention
At the 1st sign of debility, call! The second you are unable to get out of bed, get dressed, negotiate stairs, or get on and off the floor, it is time to take action. Whether it be a phone consultation or a next-day visit, rest assured your condition will be addressed without delay. Direct care fosters faster return to work/play/sport. Remember, a fall is an unintentional descent to a lower surface with or without injury. The first loss of balance is the best time to start working on injury prevention.
Modification of Activity/
Environment
Dr. Casey will perform a thorough assessment of your body and environment, making adaptations as needed for safety. Adjustments might be temporary or long term, pending your condition.
