our elderly patients love the way they feel after adjustments

Did you know seniors can be helped by chiropractic care:
Chiropractic adjustments (spinal manipulative treatment) are recommended by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research for the care of acute low back pain, and the American Geriatric Society Panel Guidelines for the Management of Chronic Pain state that non-pharmaceutical interventions such as chiropractic may be appropriate. Most geriatric health care providers have a limited number of options to offer patients with these complaints. Various chiropractic procedures are available as safe alternatives to drugs and surgery for musculoskeletal complaints in the older patient. Due to the prevalence of these conditions in older patients, and the success of chiropractic in caring for these patients, interdisciplinary geriatric health care teams should include a doctor of chiropractic to better facilitate a more active, healthy, aging society.
