Am I Too Old for Chiropractic Care?

Any age can experience benefit from chiropractic and as more and more people are wanting to actively enjoy their later years we’re seeing an increase in the number of elderly consulting chiropractic doctors. With growing concerns about over medication and the side effects of combining various prescription drugs, safe, natural chiropractic care is growing in popularity. In fact it’s the third largest healthcare system worldwide!

Do I Need X Rays for Chiropractic Care?

X-rays provide valuable information by showing us the internal condition and alignment of your spine. They also show any damage and how long it has been present, and help rule out other conditions which may require help from other health care professionals.

The decision to x-ray is made on an individual basis and is discussed with you at your initial visit.

How Do I Know If I Should See a Chiropractor?

Everyone can benefit from seeing a chiropractor. Only 10% of your nervous system perceives pain, the other 90% is what is making your body function, so a lot can be going on before you feel there’s a problem. Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine and pelvis) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

What Are the Benefits of Chiropractic Care?
