Exercise Is Medicine and Physical Activity Vital Signs....................33 Who Should Have a Personal Emergency Response System?

Who Should Have a Personal Emergency Response System?

There are many different circumstances contributing to the need for a medical alert system. If someone is at risk of losing their independence or their opportunity to make choices or if they are alone for any part of the day or night, they are candidates for Rescue Alert of Dixie’s personal emergency alert services.

For seniors, falls in and around the home have serious consequences. You may not realize that:

Falls are one of the most serious health risks among seniors over the age of sixty-five, affecting more people than strokes and heart attacks combined.

Falls are the leading cause of death due to injury in people sixty-five and over.

Those who fall are two to three times more likely to fall again.

Many chronic medical conditions place millions more seniors at risk. Cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, diminished hearing and eyesight, and Parkinson’s disease all leave seniors vulnerable to helplessness at home.

There is some positive news.

Some falls are preventable. Falls caused by environmental factors (like fall hazards in the home) or from the side effects of medication can be foreseen and avoided.

Getting help quickly after a fall reduces the risk of hospitalization by 26 percent and death by over 80 percent

You can’t always prevent a fall, but you can always be prepared for one. Help is on the way!

Let’s be real. Pain is not fun. I struggled with back pain from an old injury for years. I tried many treatments. Some were helpful for a while, but then the pain would return. Other treatments were completely unsuccessful. Even the most innovative and productive treatments lacked long term effectiveness because of one consistent issue: lack of process. I went years without pain resolution until I understood this concept and found a process that worked for me. Now, I can bike, run, and play ball just as I did before my injury.

To eliminate pain and restore health, the Three Phase Approach is the most effective form of treatment.

Phase One: Remove Inflammation and Put Out the Fire

Think of your body as a house. If your kitchen is on fire but you don’t like the way your porch looks, should you remodel the porch before putting out the flames in your kitchen? You would want to extinguish the fire and fix the damage in the kitchen before turning your attention to the porch. Similarly, you must look at the body as a whole and put the fire out internally. There is comprehensive blood chemistry testing that is important to review when uncovering the causes and finding ways to resolve inflammation.

Phase Two: Repair the Damage

Once you’ve discovered the source of the fire and put it out, it is time to repair the damage that has been done. Be aware that this is the phase most treatment providers jump into before uncovering the source of the problem. While this phase is important, the results will typically be less effective unless phase one has been completed.

In phase two, multiple treatments may be right for the individual. These treatments, which include ozone therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, physical therapy, and injection therapies, can all be helpful, but when combined with phase one, they can be even more transformative.

Phase Three: Rebuild and Regenerate

In this phase, we start to make enhancements on our house and really make it shine internally and externally. In the rebuild and regenerate phase, innovative and regenerative treatments are used to help your body recover fully with the appropriate ingredients.

Just as in phase two, many treatment providers might use only this phase in their treatment plans. However helpful this may be, without phase one and two, you risk short term results and prolonged pain.

Anodyne Pain & Wellness has perfected this process over time, and we want to help as many people as possible get out of pain and move toward wellness. We love helping patients feel better, and we often hear, “I wish I would’ve done this years ago” or “I feel like I did twenty years ago.” Helping our patients live life to the fullest is what drives us.
