Senior Citizen Day: Maintain mobility as you age

Arthritis is quite common as we age but it doesn't have to be! With Senior Citizen Day on August 21, we felt it was important to acknowledge the common health issues that may occur as we age. Arthritis, with over 100 different forms, is a common joint disorder that involves inflammation of the joints. While it is common amongst the elderly, certain measures can be taken to prevent the onset of arthritis. In fact, there are gentle chiropractic treatments that can help prevent issues associated with arthritis, or even eliminate them. Chiropractic therapy is an excellent treatment for arthritis, injuries, or aches associated with the muscles, bones, and joints. At Onkels Chiropractic clinic, we can help you reduce or even stop your arthritis symptoms through gentle alignment or adjustment of your spine; essentially returning you to better health, and providing you with the opportunity to get back to your old activities once again.

There are four phases of degeneration; we can identify the phase you're in, and halt or reverse it. Spinal degeneration is comprised of four different phases, starting with minimal loss of the typical spinal curvature and balance, and resulting in permanent and deformative nerve damage and scar tissue. The final phase of degeneration often takes a toll on one’s lifestyle and can result in a number of other health issues including restrictions on one’s range of motion. Through careful examination, we can determine which phase you’re in and depending on the stage of spinal degeneration you are dealing with, our chiropractic therapy can help to reverse the symptoms of spinal degeneration, or at least help you better manage the discomfort and pain.

It's important to have flexibility in the spine; for example, being able to look over your shoulder when driving is an important safety measure. Many of our everyday movements require proper functioning of our spines. After all, the spine is accountable for much of our flexibility, support, and strength. In order to prevent safety hazards or accidents, it’s important that we maintain the health of our spines. While the effect of arthritis and spine degeneration can cause quite a bit of pain, inflexibility, and other symptoms, chiropractic care is one of the best treatments for helping to manage any pain and even reverse the effects of these debilitating conditions.

We specialize in removing subluxations in the spine, increasing mobility and decreasing degeneration. Through careful adjustments, we can help treat the body of subluxations and the symptoms associated with them. Receiving chiropractic care can help to increase one’s mobility and decrease spinal degeneration - which becomes more evident as we age. To ensure you live a healthy and active lifestyle well into your elder years, it’s important to get regular chiropractic adjustments to ensure your body is in the most optimal shape that it can be.

You can avoid medication and its side effects by using safe, natural chiropractic care!
