Falls are more than accidents—they’re a chronic condition for those 65+. But why aren’t we looking at falls the same way as other chronic conditions? Early intervention and prevention can significantly reduce one’s fall risk, just like managing heart disease. Nymbl emphasizes the need for proactive fall management to cut costs, prevent injuries, and enhance older adults’ quality of life. Let’s prioritize early intervention to prevent the rising costs of care for falls. See what our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Robert Mirsky has to say in our latest piece: https://hubs.la/Q02DC4-q0 #FallRisk #ChronicCondition #InvisibleEpidemic #CostofCare #YouMoreNymbl

Healthcare professionals often spend long hours standing, taking care of patients and sitting at a computer to document cases. Many experience tired, achy legs, or swelling at the end of a shift. Not only are these symptoms uncomfortable, but are also a sign of significant risk for developing Chronic Venous Disease (CVD). Fortunately, there are some simple steps healthcare workers can take to increase comfort and minimize the risk of CVD. Wearing medical compression stockings, combined with intermittent movement, can reduce or totally prevent swelling and leg discomfort associated with working in the healthcare field.
