Gait & Balance Disorders

🚶‍♂️⚖️ Gait & Balance Disorders

Feeling Unsteady? Walking Slower? Losing Balance? We Can Help.

 

Gait and balance problems can make everyday life feel unsafe — worrying about falls, holding onto walls, avoiding stairs, or feeling “off” when walking.

 

These changes are not a normal part of aging and often signal a neurological issue that can be treated.

 

At Consultant Corner, we identify the cause of your imbalance and build a personalized plan to restore confidence, mobility, and safety.

 

👉 If walking feels unsteady or you’re afraid of falling, call us today.

⚠️ Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

🟣 Unsteady or wobbly walking

🔵 Walking slower or shuffling steps

🟢 Trouble standing without holding onto something

🟠 Feeling “off balance” or drifting to one side

🟡 Frequent stumbles or near-falls

🔺 Trouble turning, rising from a chair, or climbing stairs

🟤 Legs feeling weak, heavy, or uncoordinated

 

These symptoms often worsen over time without proper neurological care.
