As a senior, you know the importance of taking care of your health. Senior care typically involves visits to general practitioners and other health care professionals, but many do not realize the value that chiropractic treatment can have on their health as they age.

Musculoskeletal health problems are not uncommon in aging seniors. In fact, older individuals are more likely to develop degenerative joint diseases, back problems and difficulty performing normal daily tasks, like putting on shoes or taking a shower. That is why elderly chiropractic care is important to aging individuals, as chiropractic is helpful in promoting healthy mobility and joint function. Seniors who visit the chiropractor on a regular basis often have less difficulty performing day to day tasks and activities, and they are less susceptible to back pain and certain joint conditions, like arthritis.

At our Lake Worth chiropractic office, we believe that seniors should be capable of lifting grandchildren, exercising, climbing stairs, and going to the grocery store without worrying about neck and back pain or potential injury. That is why we offer an elderly chiropractic plan designed to help older patients achieve greater flexibility, muscle strength, balance and overall wellness. In fact, by improving balance and coordination, our senior patients are less prone to slip and fall injuries that may be common.

Our Lake Worth chiropractor uses targeted spinal, neck and joint adjustments to improve alignment and reduce pain. Many patients report better sleep, less pain and a significant increase in energy. We also use supplemental therapies, such as massage and physical therapy, to help seniors recover from prior injuries, as well as regulate pain and discomfort. All of our services are natural and aimed at improving the overall health of the body, rather than merely treating the symptoms of underlying health conditions.
