the elderly

With the "Baby Boomer" population reaching retirement age, the geriatric population is rapidly becoming the majority. There are more people over the age of 60 than any other age group. With this understanding, it is imperative that the health care practitioner of today understand how to care for this rising population. It is a commonplace to put the blame of everyday aches and pains on "Oh it's just old age", or "It's just something I have to learn to live with." We hear these statements over and over, and are here to tell you that you may not, "have to learn with it". Of course there are times when limitations have been met, but more often than not, through our conservative Chiropractic approach, the lives of those who seek out our care are improved.

At Lee Chiropractic Center, we have the ability to utilize numerous techniques, which enables us to tailor our adjustments to fit the individual. No two people are alike, so why should they get the same adjustment. We take into consideration the many situations that arise from dealing with the elderly. Osteoporosis is one such concern.

As we age, we tend to become less active. It is this inactivity that leads to so many problems. Once the spine begins to fuse and become immobile, so do you. One of the many benefits to Chiropractic care is that we mobilize the spine to increase flexibility and to decrease the chances of degenerative fusion. With increased mobility in the spine, you are now able to be more active. It is a well known fact that the bast way to prevent osteoporosis in with weight-bearing activity. If you can become active again, or keep active, your chances of becoming osteoporotic will decrease.
