The data is scary on what falling means to our aging population. Below are some statements and statistics on falling and injury. (Credit to Dr. Tom Michaud)

-In the United States, this translates into 36 million falls, 8 million injuries, 3 million visits to the emergency room, 900,000 hospitalizations and 300,000 fractured hips (4). 

-Nearly 25% of the people who fracture their hip will be dead in one year, and 50% of them will be unable to return to their prior level of function (4). 

-The prevalence of fall-related injuries is just as bad in other countries. In Europe, the total number of fall-related deaths has increased steadily since 1990 and the Global Burden of Disease Study reported nearly 17 million years of life lost from falls in 2017 alone (5).

-The medical costs for managing falls exceeded $50 billion, and our overstressed Medicare/Medicaid system paid for 75% of these costs (6).

There were 2.1 million emergency room visits due to car accidents in 2020. Whiplash disease often occurs from minor accidents without signs of tissue injury (broken bones, bruising, lacerations etc.). It affects the central nervous system and causes the muscles to become uncoordinated when you move, this turns into pain after some time. Many people dismiss their mild accident-related pain or are turned away from treatment at the ER or urgent care center.
