Over 22 million people in America use chiropractic care to address their pain and injuries. Of course, this includes older (mature adults) patients, as well. However, there may be a few concerns when it comes to suggesting chiropractic care for seniors. In this post, we will try to help you understand why you should consider chiropractic for your parents or mature adults.
Understanding the Human Body
As we age, our joints and bones may experience some wear and tear. The resultant condition can be stiffness around the joints, moderate pain in varied parts of the body, and even acute ache, which can be related to a trapped or pinched nerve. While many consider these problems to a part of the aging process, it can be attributed to abnormal biomechanics. This what chiropractic care specializes in, correcting abnormal biomechanics. Abnormal biomechanics can happen at any age and chiropractic is considered to be suitable for people of all ages.
Effective Chiropractic Care is Important
A number of techniques are used by chiropractors when addressing your condition. They can range from manual adjusting, to acupuncture, to spinal decompression, to ARPWave. In order to figure out the cause, chiropractors start with a detailed history, followed by and exam and diagnostics. They then review all the information and make you a partner in the establishing the treatment plan to be help you obtain your treatment goals. This approach is safer and more conservative than medications and surgery. And possibly cheaper.
