Chiropractic and the elderly
|
As we age our muscles weaken, our joints become less flexible, and our tissues overall become less hydrated. Decades of wear and tear on our joints lead to arthritis.
Our digestive tract also becomes weaker and more susceptible to damage and bleeding. Since these are also common side-effects of anti- inflammatory medications it is important to limit their use. Although the aging process is inevitable, we can do a lot to slow down the process with proper natural prevention.

Chiropractic care and healthy lifestyle habits are the best protection.
Once arthritis and degeneration have set it they are not reversible. Chiropractic may help in pain relief, pain management, maintaining function, and in preventing further degeneration.
Treatment is gentler according to condition and patient tolerance. |
