Balance Problems and Fall Prevention in Huntsville, TX
Most people notice balance problems long before they mention them. The pattern is familiar: touching walls through the hallway, taking stairs one at a time, avoiding the yard after dark. Each of those is a measurable, treatable change. We test the inner ear, vision, sensation, and leg strength separately, then train the system that is actually limiting you.
