How Seniors Benefit From Chiropractic Care
Pain relief and general bodily comfort are important factors for everyone, but those at or above senior age might be in even greater need of Chiropractic care. The human body has a tougher and tougher time dealing with wear and tear as it gets older, and pain and discomfort become more common. At the offices of Dr. Jacob Wooten, we provide chiropractic services for all ages, and these services can be a major benefit to seniors. Whether it’s a simple back adjustment or a larger set of considerations, a chiropractor can help provide much of the relief and comfort seniors often seek. Let’s look at a few of the specific benefits we can offer to seniors.
Motion and Coordination
Chiropractic care can increase range of motion in multiple areas, not just the neck and spine. Studies show it improves motion in other extremities, which often allows seniors to regain the ability to complete tasks they may have been unable to recently. On top of this, balance and coordination are often some of the biggest issues that plague seniors. Many of these issues relate directly to degenerative problems in the back, many of which can be stabilized through chiropractic care.
Joint Health
The spine is really just a series of joints, but if poor alignment occurs in the spine, the joints will wear down over time. Chiropractic limits cases of bad alignment and helps reduce stress on joints.
Overall Health
The way a senior feels is often one of the most important parts of their aging process, and chiropractic care is a vital asset here. It helps people feel energetic and healthy while making simultaneous bodily adjustments and can lead to major improvements in senior quality of life.
Pain Relief
Finally, with seniors chiropractic care pain relief is likely the number one benefit. Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs work for periods at a time, but they don’t offer the kind of long-term relief that a chiropractor does. Chiropractic care also doesn’t come with potential dependency or large refill expenses.
