Chiropractic care is something that can be taken advantage of by patients of all ages, no matter what part of their lifespan they’re in. It’s true that many of our patients are of adult age. We also have more than a few who are more advanced in age. Our older patients actually stand to gain some of the most immediate and recognizable benefits from chiropractic care treatments.

Family Chiropractic & Spinal Heath Care Center would like to go over a few ways that chiropractic adjustments and other treatments offered at our practice benefit senior patients.

As We Age Our Bodies Change

When we get older, just like with our automobiles, certain parts of our bodies stop working the way they used to. We might start to feel arthritic pain from old sports injuries or performing the same motions over and over again. Have you been playing pick-up basketball with the same group into your 50s and 60s? Well, you’re likely going to experience some wear and tear from that. Chiropractic adjustments can help you deal with pain, improve flexibility, and boost your range of motion.

Chiropractic Treats a Variety of Age-Related Conditions

As our bodies age, there are many factors that can contribute to pain and discomfort in bones, joints and muscles.

• Osteoporosis
• Arthritis
• Joint Pain
• Back Pain
• Spinal Discomfort
• Subluxation
• General Pain
• Disrupted Range of Motion
• Morning Stiffness
• And Much More…
