Most falls don’t start with a stumble.
They start months earlier, with small changes that are easy to write off as “just getting older.”
Three of the most common:
1. Inner ear changes. Brief dizziness when you stand up or turn your head quickly. Many people adjust their movements around it without ever mentioning it to a doctor.
2. Reduced ankle and hip strength. These muscles make the small corrections that keep you upright. They weaken quietly, and you usually don’t notice until you’re on uneven ground.
3. Vision and medication changes. New prescriptions, updated lenses, or a combination of medications can subtly affect how steady you feel.
The good news: all three are measurable, and all three respond well to treatment.
