our services
Senior Chiropractic CareChiropractors help millions of maturing adults regain control of their lives every year. Our treatments are designed to relieve acute and chronic pain, increase flexibility, improve mobility and function, increase strength, enhance balance and improve overall quality of life.
Why Chiropractic Care Matters More With Age
As we age, spinal discs, facet joints, ligaments and muscles become weaker, less hydrated, more fibrotic and less able to withstand normal stresses. Spinal pain from degeneration (arthritis) becomes more prominent, injuries happen more easily and healing takes longer.
Chiropractic procedures take the aging spine into account to provide a safe, noninvasive treatment plan. Through gentle adjustive and mobilization techniques, physical therapies, and stretching and exercise programs, spinal pain is reduced, flexibility and mobility improve, and degeneration is minimized.
Care That Treats the Cause
Senior care can include spinal and extremity adjustments, physical and soft tissue therapies, dietary and nutritional counseling, and exercise and fitness counseling, all safe and natural methods to help you stay vibrant and productive.
Treatment must focus on the underlying problem and involve the patient to be truly effective and long-lasting. Treatments that focus solely on pain are far less effective and can be dangerous, since the conditions causing the symptoms remain uncorrected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe for elderly patients?
Yes. Treatment for seniors uses gentle adjustive and mobilization techniques specifically suited to the changes that occur in the aging spine, along with physical therapies and exercise programs.
What changes happen in the spine as we age?
Spinal discs, facet joints, ligaments and muscles become weaker, less hydrated, more fibrotic and less able to withstand normal stress, which is why degeneration and injury become more common with age.
Can chiropractic care improve balance and mobility in older adults?
Yes. Along with reducing pain, treatment is designed to improve mobility and function, increase strength and enhance balance.
Why is treating just the pain not enough for elderly patients?
Treatments that only address symptoms leave the underlying cause uncorrected, which can be dangerous and lead to the same problem recurring or worsening over time.
What else besides adjustments is involved in elderly chiropractic care?
Care can also include physical therapies, soft tissue therapies, dietary and nutritional counseling, and exercise and fitness counseling tailored to the individual.
