Chiropractic Care for Seniors

A three-year study of senior citizens over 75 years of age revealed that seniors who receive chiropractic care spend fewer days in hospitals and nursing homes than elderly non-chiropractic patients.

Senior citizens under chiropractic care report better overall health, have fewer chronic conditions, and are less likely to use prescription drugs than non-chiropractic patients.

The senior chiropractic patients were more likely to exercise vigorously and more likely to be active in the community.

87% of senior citizens under chiropractic care described their health status as good or excellent, compared to only 65% of non-chiropractic patients.

Chiropractic patients spend 15% less time in nursing homes and 21% less time in hospitals than the non-chiropractic patients.

As the popluation ages, more people are consulting doctors of chiropractic, especially in their later years. As we live longer, there are growing concerns about over-medication and the side effects of combining various prescription drugs. Safe, natural chiropractic care is growing in popularity. Restoring proper nerve and spinal function can help improve mobility, vitality, and endurance, and therefore the quality of life.

  1. Chiropractors are quite conservative in their approach. They don’t practice the usage of drugs and surgery for a large extent. If you are diagnosed with something serious like a neck fracture the best option in that case would be to visit a mainstream orthopedic doctor who make use of techniques that are most effective in such cases.

  2. Prescription drugs, surgery, pain killers, etc, just numb your pain and don’t do anything to fix the problem, yet they are responsible for 106,000 deaths per year.
