Aging is a natural part of life, bringing changes like graying hair, declining senses, and normal body wear and tear. In the U.S., 16.8% of the population, or 55.8 million people, were 65 or over in 2020, a number that continues to rise. If you’re an older adult, maintaining a good quality of life in the later years is essential to stay healthy and support your physical and mental well-being. 

 

Chiropractic care is a drug-free and conservative approach to healthcare for aging adults. At Chiropractic USA, we provide specialized aging-centric services tailored for older adults in South Carolina. We want to help you enjoy good health and support your active lifestyle. 

 

Common Health Concerns for Aging Adults

Growing older often comes with new experiences and, unfortunately, health concerns. The natural aging process can bring conditions that affect your day-to-day life, making what used to be effortless more challenging. 

​

Common health issues facing aging adults include:

​

  • Arthritis: A common ailment affecting your musculoskeletal system that causes stiffness and pain in the joints.

 

  • Osteoporosis: A condition that weakens bones, making them more susceptible to fractures.

 

  • Age-related falls and injuries: Many seniors experience falls, leading to moderate to severe injuries impacting mobility and independence. In 2020, there were nearly 3 million ER visits for older adult falls. 

 

  • Spinal degeneration: Wear and tear on the spine over time can cause chronic back pain and other spinal issues.

 

  • Joint pain: Generalized joint pain can make movement less comfortable and more limiting.

 

 

  • Mental health issues: Conditions like depression or anxiety can emerge or worsen, often exacerbated by feelings of isolation or health-related worries.

 

  • Vision and eye diseases: Aging can bring about vision changes or diseases like cataracts and glaucoma.

Can Chiropractic Care Help With Age-Related Concerns?

Navigating through the golden years can be enriched with the right healthcare support. At Chiropractic USA, our chiropractic care is tailored to address age-related concerns, aiding in a graceful aging process. 

 

We use various chiropractic techniques to help you achieve the following: 

 

  • Pain management: Techniques like spinal adjustments and activator methods target chronic pain areas in the back, neck, and joints, promoting relief and ease in movement.

 

  • Improved mobility and flexibility: Chiropractic care restores joint mobility through spinal manipulation and flexion-distraction technique, making movement less restrictive and more comfortable.

 

  • Fall prevention: Balance and coordination exercises and proprioceptive training help reduce the risk of falls, which is crucial for maintaining independence in older adults.

 

  • Enhanced posture: Regular chiropractic adjustments, postural education and exercises, can correct posture issues, reducing strain on the spine and muscles.

 

  • Stress reduction: Techniques like spinal adjustments and relaxation exercises can help manage stress and anxiety, promoting a calm and balanced mental state.
