Senior Care

Chiropractic care is especially important for maturing and elderly adults because of the dramatic changes that occur in the spine with increasing age. As we age, spinal discs, joints, ligaments, muscles, and other spinal tissues become weaker, less hydrated, more fibrous, and less able to withstand normal strain. As a result, back pain from spinal degeneration (arthritis) becomes more prominent, soft tissue inflammation occurs, and the body is more vulnerable to injury.

As the time to heal from injuries increases as we age, minimizing risk and optimizing overall health and wellness becomes even more important.

Chiropractic procedures take into consideration the nature of the aging spine and the many abnormalities possibly present to provide an effective, safe, and non-invasive treatment plan. Through the use of gentle adjusting techniques, physiotherapy modalities, and the incorporation of stretching and strengthening exercise programs you can expect to see improvements in many areas such as:

  • Overall Pain Relief Without Medication

  • Improved Range of Motion of the Spine and Extremities

  • Improved Health, Well-Being, and Quality of Life

  • Improved Immune System Function

  • Improved Posture

  • Decreased Joint Degeneration

  • Decreased Tissue Inflammation

  • Increased Balance and Coordination

  • Reduced Risk of Fall Injuries

Our patients report that they feel better, but they also tell us that they function better and enjoy life more when we hear things like this:

  • I’m now able to get back in the garden!

  • I have so much energy and I can sleep through the night!

  • For the first time in a long time I can play with my grandchildren!

  • I’m finally able to enjoy my retirement like I was hoping to!
