Nagging aches and pains don’t have to be common symptoms of aging. Chiropractic care for seniors can help with pain relief, increased mobility, balance, and more.
As we get older, it can feel like our bodies let us down. You may have expected the changes in skin tone, hair, vision, and hearing. What we don’t expect are persistent aches and pains? All of a sudden, they start and do not want to go away.
Even after a good night’s sleep (if you can manage one), many seniors wake up tired and stiff. Imagine how much more you could do – and how much better it would feel – if you were able to wake up without those nagging aches and pains!
Aging gracefully hinges on maintaining not just physical health but overall well-being. As we age, our bodies require extra care and attention. The good news is that you can stop the pain and become a more energized, active version of yourself at any age with the power of chiropractic care.
Chiropractic care is a natural and non-invasive form of healthcare that focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system.
At Upchurch Chiropractic, Dr. Upchurch uses his hands or specialized instruments to apply controlled, gentle force to specific areas of the spine or joints. This adjustment helps to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall physical function. We also use cold laser therapy which has been scientifically proven to reduce joint pain and inflammation for those suborn aches and pains.
But that doesn’t mean you won’t benefit from chiropractic care if you don’t have back pain. In fact, most musculoskeletal and even internal organ conditions are related to the spine due to the intricate web of connections within the body. Not only will patients see improvements in their pain and flexibility, but often see postural improvement and an increase in overall well-being! Dr. Upchurch has helped a great number of senior patients who suffer with osteoporosis, degenerative arthritis, stenosis, and neuropathy.
In 36 years of practice in Royal Oak, Dr. Upchurch has personally delivered over 350,000 individual Chiropractic adjustments, cared for thousands of patients, and specialized in care for seniors. He will perform a thorough history and examination, including x-rays to determine the exact areas that need help. He will then thoroughly explain what needs to be done to help reduce your problems and review insurance coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses before care begins. At Upchurch Chiropractic we still accept Medicare Insurance and offer reduced fees on non-covered services.
Other things will often help you improve will under chiropractic care. Eating a more balanced diet, making sure to drink plenty of water, staying active, supplementation when necessary, being social, staying engaged and doing mental work outs all help as well.
Age is just a number. With the right approach and the support at Upchurch Chiropractic, you can embrace each new day feeling younger than the last.
