As we age, we are far more likely to experience pain or injury due to conditions such as arthritis or natural wear and tear of discs and joints. Maintaining comfort and mobility can become increasingly difficult and finding a reliable source of relief is not so easy. The need for effective care to promote proper well-being will only grow over time. The American population of older adults is expected to grow by 135% between the years 2000 and 2050, with those over the age of 85 growing by 350%. However, just because our nation is getting older, it doesn’t mean that we have to feel the effects of aging so decidedly.
Why Older Adults Should Choose Chiropractic Care:
It’s Less Invasive- Chiropractic care offers the ability to address pain, tightness, and discomfort through methods that require no downtime on the part of the patient.
It’s Effective- Studies have found time and time again that chiropractic care effectively relieves back pain and even helps patients avoid surgical intervention.
It’s Holistic- Unlike traditional medicine, chiropractic is holistic and focuses on the patient’s well-being as a whole. Rather than concentrating strictly on relieving pain, chiropractors will work to identify the true source of discomfort, while also addressing elements such as lifestyle, diet, and exercise.
