For Seniors
We’ve seen it in the movies.
When a person bends down to pick up something, then hears an unnerving sound from the back, hip, or knees, it’s a surefire way of letting the audience know: This character’s getting old.
It’s the same thing in real life. Our spine goes through dramatic changes as we get older—it becomes less stronger, less hydrated, and less able to withstand normal stresses. As a result, the older we get, the more pains become more noticeable and the longer it takes for us to recover.
Chiropractic care is extremely important for the maturing adult and the elderly, because it maintains mobility through joint lubrication. With better joint health, our goal at this life stage is the elimination of pain and the enhancement of quality of life. A bad back shouldn’t keep you from living out your best days.
Through Dr. Anton Cancio’s gentle adjustive and mobilization techniques, prescribed exercise plans, and lifestyle recommendations to prevent further degeneration of the spine, Cancio Chiropractic helps you, quite literally, get ahead of the curve.
How Chiropractic Care Benefits This Life Stage
Relief. By identifying specific joint restrictions in the spine and correcting them through a manual spinal adjustment, arthritic joints can find relief from pain, as well as enhanced mobility and balance.
Increased joint movement. Did you know that our spinal discs and joints receive nutrition and eliminate toxins through joint movement? Increased movement means increased nutrition. This keeps the spine healthy, slowing down degeneration.
Better posture. Periodic treatments reduce the spinal stress caused by bad posture, helping maintain a healthier spine.
Increased well-being. When you’re free from nagging pain and stiff joints, you’re able to do the things that make you happy. This makes life more enjoyable, giving you a reason to look forward to each day.
