Why Chiropractic is Beneficial for Seniors

11/16/2016

0 Comments

 
​As we age, our musculoskeletal (MSK) system goes through changes, and can affect the health and function of the rest of the body. The Canadian Chiropractic Association reports that over 80% of seniors suffer from chronic pain, and over 25% are limited daily due to musculoskeletal issues.
 
Chiropractic care over the age of 65 can help prevent further problems caused by aging. Most importantly, it can make a big difference in mobility and general function. A 2013 study showed that chiropractic was beneficial to this age group for the following reasons:

  • 87% of chiropractic patients 75 years or older described their heath as good to excellent, while only 67% of non-chiropractic patients felt the same.
  • Senior chiropractic patients exercised more regularly and had fuller social lives.
  • They also experienced fewer chronic conditions by 15%, fewer symptoms of arthritis by 22%, less time in nursing homes by 15%, and less time in hospitals in the last three years by 21%
Picture
​Overall, chiropractic patients over 65 have reported better general health, with less symptoms of arthritis. Additionally, they are likely to use less medication than their non-chiropractic peers, and exercise far more regularly. As a person ages, their spine, joints, ligaments, and muscles get weaker and become more susceptible to injury. Chiropractic can help prevent these stresses and improve flexibility for better range of motion.
 
If you’re a senior looking to improve mobility and overall health, chiropractic may be the perfect option for you. Let Dr. Sarah put together a treatment plan made specifically for your needs. Call 905 228 3130, or book your appointment online.
