Chiropractic Senior Care

Chiropractic care has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for people of all ages. However, as our bodies age, we need to be increasingly cautious about the medications we take or the treatments that we use to maintain or improve our health. Chiropractic care is used for seniors, athletes, teens, adults, for those with injuries, pregnant women, and even babies. If you think that you may benefit from chiropractic care, schedule an appointment today.

Pain Relief Without Medication

One of the most common reasons why patient come up visit with their chiropractor for pain relief. Although it is advisable to see a chiropractor for neck or back pain, you may do so for any pain for a consultation.

Common adjustments specific to chiropractors include adjusting the spinal column which houses your brain stem and that is where the nerves that travel up and down through the rest of your body after leaving your vertebrae. In other words, anywhere in the body where you might be experiencing discomfort, it can be cured or significantly improved just by ensuring that the nerve is able to transmit signals to the brain with ease.

Increased Range of Motion

If you ask many seniors, aging tends to just go after their joints. Inflamed and painful joints restrict the body’s range of motion, and over time, if these muscles are dormant and unused, they start to atrophy and become weak. Many senior golfers report they have gained driving distance after visiting their chiropractor , and gardeners report being able to harvest their crop without pain for the first time in years.

Better Balance and Movement

One clue that our neck bones and muscles are starting to break down, for example, is a change in our ability to stay balanced. In our cervical spine, there are particular structures called mechanoreceptors that are partly responsible for keeping our balance. Over the years, they often suffer some minor defects. Chiropractic treatments are shown to restore and stimulate mechanoreceptors’ function that increases our ability to maintain balance. Better balance also translates into fewer falls and a lower risk for injury.

Reduced Joint Degeneration

All sorts of one’s other joints and joints are under strain and wear if one’s had a bad back. Without the right body position, our legs, hips, neck and other joints have to adapt to this shift. Over time, this can actually damage the joints, leading to increased discomfort and a decreased ability or desire to move. Chiropractic adjustments help to restore the spine to ideally aligned positions, which leads to optimal body placement and less stress on the numerous joints in the body, which can assist you in feeling better and moving stronger.

A Better Quality of Life

A 1996 study recommended a number of benefits to patients that used chiropractic care to assist in their wellness and were not, and vice versa. These benefits include:

These patients even discovered that receiving chiropractic care might have had an additional factor which could help in remaining out of a nursing home. At a follow-up interview three years after the study, just 5% of the patients who received chiropractic care had relocated to a nursing home, compared to 48% of the patients who did not receive the therapies.
