Freedom from Aches and Pains for South Florida Seniors

Posted: Feb 13, 2012 • By: Dr Michael J Cohen •

Body stiffness, back pain, poor balance, achy joints, limited range of motion, arthritis, bad sleeping habits, and finally falls, all contribute to South Florida seniors’ reports of feeling older than they really are.

While traditional long term approaches to preventative medicine are valuable, research continues to prove that chiropractic care is integral in bringing quick relief to the specific health concerns bothering South Florida seniors.

Formal approaches to aging patients in Florida usually offer limited options. South Florida chiropractic care for seniors is now often recognized as a uniquely safe, effective, and inexpensive treatment plan preferred by many.

In fact, The White House Conference on Aging (2004), reported that seniors who receive consistent chiropractic care make at least two MAJOR accomplishments for their overall wellbeing:

1.    Fewer hospitalizations
2.    Fewer medications


Research has shown that South Florida seniors receiving chiropractic treatment benefit by reporting excellent health and feel less arthritis pain.  They are also able to do strenuous exercise with little discomfort.

Gentle Approach
Some geriatric patients stay clear from chiropractic care, fearing the “popping” or “cracking” noise associated with adjustments. A skilled South Florida chiropractor for senior patients uses a more gentle approach including low force and soft tissue techniques. These procedures are often preferred based on the age or frailty of the individual.

How A South Florida Chiropractor Can Help Seniors

1.    Pain Relief- Gentle treatment of the misalignments of the vertebrae is effective in treating the cause instead of masking the pain with medication.

2.    Balance and Coordination- As we get older, our spines lose their intended function. Chiropractic treatment can directly impact the necessary connection between the brain and the joints, leading to improved ability to get up, move around, and walk with steady confidence.

3.    Range of Motion-To the back, neck, and limbs; making it easier to reach, bend, and extend the body to make everyday living more enjoyable.

4.    Health and Mobility- When the joints begin to degenerate, the body feels worn out. Spinal alignment can enhance the health and strengthen mobility.

5.    Fewer Falls- When mobility, balance, and coordination are improved, chiropractic care directly decreases the rate of falls and fractures associated from being out of balance.

6.    Independent Living- Seniors who are receiving consistent chiropractic care are more likely to take better care of themselves, physically and emotionally. The biggest plus for many is the fact that as a result, fewer require assisted living.

7.    More Energy- Chiropractic care brings consistent reports of individuals accessing the energy needed to do the things they need to do.
