SUMMARY:Preventing Falls in Older Adults: Evidence-Based Chiropractic Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Details: \nLength: 1 hour (structured CE credit*) \nThis webinar will be at 12 noon Eastern Standard Time (EST) and a recording will be made available to those who cannot attend the live presentation. \n*Notes:  \nAlberta: This webinar has not been submitted for approval by the CCOA (a bundle of webinars will be made available for the next cycle). \nOntario: This webinar provides 1 structured CE hour \nDescription \nOverview \nFalls are a significant cause of injury\, disability\, and loss of independence among older adults. Identifying individuals at risk and implementing effective prevention strategies are critical components of safe\, patient-centered care. Chiropractors frequently encounter older patients with balance deficits\, musculoskeletal impairments\, and functional limitations that increase fall risk\, positioning them to play an important role in early identification and prevention. \nThis 1-hour webinar with Dr. Shawn Thistle provides an evidence-informed\, clinically practical framework for fall risk identification and prevention in older adults. Through focused discussion of screening tools\, functional assessment\, and clinical decision-making\, participants will gain actionable strategies to reduce fall risk and improve patient safety in everyday practice. \nBy the end of this session\, you will be able to: \n\nIdentify key clinical risk factors for falls in older adults\nApply simple\, evidence-based screening and assessment tools in chiropractic practice to support appropriate management \nImplement appropriate chiropractic and rehabilitative interventions to support balance and function\nRecognize when fall risk warrants referral or modification of care\n\nWho should attend? \nThis webinar is intended for chiropractors in private practice\, group clinics\, and multidisciplinary settings who care for older adults or patients with balance concerns\, mobility limitations\, or functional decline. It is particularly relevant for clinicians seeking to enhance patient safety\, reduce injury risk\, and integrate fall prevention strategies into routine chiropractic care. \nWhy attend? \nFalls are common\, often preventable\, and associated with substantial morbidity and healthcare utilization in older adults. Chiropractors who understand fall risk factors and apply evidence-based prevention strategies can play a meaningful role in maintaining mobility\, independence\, and quality of life for aging patients. This webinar provides practical\, clinically relevant tools to support safer care\, informed decision-making\, and effective collaboration within broader healthcare teams.
