Older Adults
Chiropractic care is a safe option for older adults who want to know how to stay young and are looking for ways to maintain their mobility or regain lost functionality. The chiropractors at Sioux Falls Chiropractic enjoy working with older adults to help them live out their golden years in full health.
Many older adults turn to anti-inflammatory medications and pain relievers which can seem to help, but these really only mask the symptoms rather than treat the underlying causes. Chiropractic care is one of the most effective forms of health care for older adults with pain from spine related conditions. It is so effective because most pain related to the spine is because of abnormalities of the spine and surrounding soft tissue and chiropractors are uniquely trained to identify and treat these subluxations or misalignments, preventing the pain they often cause.
Recent studies indicate that more than a third of seniors fall each year and these injuries account for most of the bone fractures in the elderly population. Regular chiropractic care and physical rehabilitation and stretching help to increase range of motion and free frozen joints which helps older adults gain balance, improve coordination and even strengthen bone structures, often preventing the falls and fractures often associated with aging.
