Easing Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects and damages the nerves of the peripheral nervous system, causing them to malfunction.
Symptoms of peripheral neuropathy may range from mild to severe, depending on the type of the affected nerves, as well as the gravity of the damage.

Sometimes, the symptoms occur suddenly, but in most cases, the symptoms develop gradually over a longer period.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO FALLS PREVENTION FOR SENIORS - PART 3

This next part is essential for everyone and could be the most important section of this article, so please take your time going through the content. All of it!

I say it’s most important because there is always a chance that a fall could happen to anyone, and that means you or someone you know.

The outcomes of a fall when older are usually much more severe with an increased risk of more serious injury, and getting up off the floor usually isn’t so simple and quick. It can be difficult if the physical capabilities required are not there.

Getting off the floor incorrectly can cause more injury, and those who may be around to assist may also put themselves at risk of injury or falling and risk being stuck on the floor also.

So it’s essential to be prepared by having a plan to avoid falls the best you can and get help if you fall.

It’s also important to know what to do if you fall and how to get up off the floor most efficiently and safely. And also how to help someone who has fallen.

PREVENTING FALLS - OVERCOMING THE FEAR OF FALLING

A fear of falling is common among older adults, especially if physical capabilities start to decline (i.e., weaker legs or increasing unsteadiness when walking) or after a fall.

Fear is healthy and normal. Everybody experiences fear.

Fear is our mind's way of alerting us to the dangers present, and it can protect us from entering dangerous situations.

However, if the fear is uncontrollable, something that you think about a lot and is negatively impacting your life, this fear must be dealt with.
