  • STAYING PAIN-FREE DURING COVID-19: INJURY PREVENTION

    April 6, 2020 / No Comments

    I chose this subject next, rather than hips or feet, because as of this moment, the thing that might put you in the ER, is an injury. Even though I’m still seeing folks outside participating in sports and hazardous activities…they are willingly subjecting themselves to danger in every way. I’d rather focus on those of you who might injure yourselves accidentally. So, to get to the meat…ways to prevent injuries during Covid-19. Highlighted words are links to previous posts on www.drbarbarabergin.com. Watch where you’re going! Assess your environment for uneven surfaces and dangerous obstacles. Hold the handrails on stairs.

  • FALL PREVENTION

    April 16, 2012 / No Comments

    You have to stay off the ground after 60. I’m not quite there, but I’ve been working on staying clear of the ground for years. I’m really focusing on falling down to the ground in this blog. That’s a fast and dangerous way to get down there and you’re all doing it way to often! Once you start to fall then anything goes. When you land you might break a bone, and depending on which bone, it can totally alter the quality of your life! But at best you’re going to bruise something that’s going to take a while to heal.
