Health Matters with The Medicine Center Pharmacy

Fall prevention may not seem like a lively topic, but it's important. Each year, millions of adults aged 65 and older fall. Falls can cause moderate to severe injuries, but the most important message is that falls can be prevented. Falls are often considered to be part of a syndrome. In other words, more than one thing may be causing the condition. As a result, there is often a benefit from a team approach where various disciplines can contribute to the assessment and treatment of the condition. Today, our discussion includes both a physical therapist and a pharmacist to get their perspectives on fall prevention.

Brad: If you have low back pain, you are not alone. Many people experience back pain in their lifetime. For example, at any given time, about 25% of people in the United States report having low back pain within the past 3 months. In most cases, this type of back pain is mild and disappears on its own. But, for some people, back pain can return or hang on, leading to a decrease in quality of life or even to disability. Physical therapists help people with low back pain improve or restore mobility and reduce their pain.

Physical therapists are movement experts. They improve quality of life through hands-on care, patient education, and prescribed movement. This morning we will talk with Michelle McCann, Physical Therapist with Aultman Therapy Services about treatments for back pain and Aultman's patient navigator who helps patients access all the services available at Aultman to care for your back and spine.
