Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care can be of significant value to the aging adult. As we age, the tissues of the spine become weaker. Muscles, facet joints, ligaments, muscles become less hydrated, more fibrotic, and less capable of withstanding everyday stress.

Accidents, falls, stress, tension, overexertion and countless other factors can result in a displacement or derangements of the spinal column, causing irritation to the spinal nerve roots. These irritations are often what cause malfunctions in the human body. Chiropractic care teaches that reducing or eliminating this irritation can cause your body to operate more efficiently and with greater comfort. Chiropractic also places an emphasis on a nutritional and exercise program, as well as wellness and lifestyle modifications for promoting physical health.

Doctors of chiropractic may assess patients through clinical examination, laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging and other diagnostic interventions to determine when chiropractic treatment is appropriate or when it is not appropriate. Chiropractors will readily refer patients to the appropriate health care provider when chiropractic care is not suitable for the patient’s condition, or the condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other members of the health care team.
