It is common knowledge that throughout life we go through minor or even major injuries. But nature – being as powerful as it is – we heal. However, we rarely heal 100%.
So decade by decade small problems accumulate and linger. As we age we experience more disability or reduced ability. Aging specialists have determined that INFLAMMATION is the principal cause of aging. Reducing inflammation is how to delay this process. Chiropractic care helps to reduce inflammation.
Chiropractic is known worldwide as a profession that helps restore ability, prevents disability, and eliminates much of the pain that could potentially ruin our days, our months, and our lives. The reason people have learned to appreciate and respect the special role chiropractors bring to our families and to the ones that we love who are aging is to help them live more meaningful active lives and reduce their overall need for medication. Truly a good thing!
Some of the most common conditions that the elderly suffer, yet can have much relief and reduce medications, are as follows:
- Degenerative Arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Slipped discs
- Sciatica
- Numbness in the hands, arms, or legs
- Digestive disorders
- Constipation
- Headaches and migraines
- Neck pain and back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Knee pain and wrist pain
How does Chiropractic help the elderly? By restoring normal or near-normal function to overused and over-abused joints. A chiropractic spinal adjustment helps older patients increase their mobility, restore aging nerve function, improve flexibility, and decrease metabolic deterioration.
Also, since misalignments of spinal joints contribute to dysfunction of the nerves that feed inner organs and systems, chiropractic adjustments can often correct problems that often go untreated, such as skin disorders or chronic constipation.
And even though much of the health we felt in our youth may never be restored, it doesn’t mean we have to suffer all the time or live with increasing pain and disability.
This is the promise that Chiropractic can deliver.
If you are “Sick and tired of being sick and tired,” chiropractic care may be the solution you have been looking for. There’s a saying that goes like this: “Chiropractic brings years to life, and life to years.”
