"Fall Prevention" featuring Dr. Amy Hanson of Hood View Chiropractic

In the United States, over 14 million, or one in four, adults ages 65 and older (older adults), report falling each year. While not all falls result in an injury, about 37% of those who fall reported an injury that required medical treatment or restricted their activity for at least one day, resulting in an estimated nine million fall injuries. However, falls don’t have to be inevitable as you age. Come to this presentation to learn how to reduce your chance of falling or help a loved one prevent falls. There are proven ways to reduce and prevent falls, even for older adults!


Dr. Amy Hanson graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Western States in 2012 with a prior undergraduate Bachelor’s Degree in Zoology from North Dakota State University.  Dr. Hanson moved from Fargo, ND, to pursue her chiropractic degree, and, while in the process, she fell in love with all Oregon has to offer.  She specializes in gentle, but effective, low-force adjusting techniques, and loves getting to know each and every one of her patients.
