Chiropractic for Older Adults

Research is showing that chiropractic care can really make a difference to your health, function and quality of life as you age.

Studies suggest that older individuals who receive chiropractic care are in a better position to live independently and are in a better position to look after themselves. They also report feeling healthier, which of course can have a huge impact on the quality of life as we go through those golden years.

Aging can come with a host of problems, including:

  • Falls
  • Memory loss
  • Frailty
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Functional decline
  • Hearing and vision impairments
  • Visceral and metabolic disorders

(to name just a few).

Our goal as chiropractors is to facilitate healthy aging, so that you can reduce or delay the onset of some of those undesirable effects of aging.

The goal of healthy aging is to:

  • Maintain physical and mental health
  • Avoid diseases and disorders
  • Maintain independence and activity
Chiropractic care is an essential cornerstone of healthy aging as chiropractors can help you maintain or even improve your overall function, health and quality of life.

Recent Research shows that compared to those under medical care alone, older adults that are under regular chiropractic care maintained their ability to:

  • Live independently
  • Look after themselves
  • Preserve their health

They also feel healthier!

Ageing does not need to be a negative downward spiral. We’ve love to chat to you about how we can help you or your aging loved ones experience healthy aging.
