Regular chiropractic care as we age has amazing benefits. Older patients note an increase in quality of life, increase in energy and increase in overall health and well-being. Combing chiropractic care with an active and healthy lifestyle allows individuals to get the most out of these golden years.
Chiropractic treatments help reduce pain in stiff and achy joints that is more prevalent as we age. An increase in range of motion throughout the aging neck and back are also benefits to expect with care. Adjustments to hands and feet help decrease not only the stiffness, but makes tasks that were once simple, such as opening jars, buttoning shirts and tying shoes manageable.
Degeneration in the aging spine is normal and happens with every birthday. When our body is not moving to the best of its ability, degeneration and breakdown happens quicker, leading to degenerative joint disease. Chiropractic care helps restore motion to fixated joints and slows degeneration at hypermobile joints, resulting in a slower, and more graceful aging process! Balance and coordination as we age commonly affect our daily life activities. Chiropractic adjustments stimulate joint receptors in the cervical spine, which leads to improvements in balance and coordination.
