Chiropractic’s method of hands-on treatment may help seniors attain general wellness and lasting pain relief.

- Increased mobility
- Pain relief
- Improved balance/less fall risk
- Less arthritis inflammation
- Better circulation
- Overall well-being
- Higher energy levels
- Better quality of life
How Does It Help?
Seniors often suffer from chronic and acute pain, less flexibility and mobility, balance issues, and postural alignment. Major changes occur in the spinal joints, ligaments, and muscles as they become weaker and more fibrous. The spinal discs begin to dry out.
Chiropractic adjustments are modified to address the needs of seniors. Dr. Leon is very gentle with his patients, primarily using the Thompson Drop Table to provide gentle care. There’s no twisting, cracking, or popping, and seniors receive low force adjustments only to protect their joints. Strengthening exercises may also help improve range of motion.
Chiropractic care has a natural and holistic approach, which makes it the right choice for patients who need maintenance care. Our gentle services for seniors help improve mobility, increase flexibility, and reduce muscle pain.
Protecting Our Seniors
Chiropractic care is an essential cornerstone of both preventive and palliative care. As adults age, and their health begins to decline, it is even more essential to safeguard their health with regular chiropractic maintenance. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment.
