What age do you start chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care is a safe and beneficial practice suitable for individuals of all ages. At Steinke Family Chiropractic, we advocate for the importance of chiropractic care for people at every stage of life. By eliminating nervous system interference, chiropractic care enables the body to operate at its peak performance level. Our mission is to cater to families—whether infants, parents, grandparents, or all members—so that each individual can lead a healthier life.
This holistic approach often results in improved sleep, reduced pain, enhanced digestion, stabilized emotions, and overall well-being. Commencing chiropractic care early, even at infancy, is highly recommended due to the immediate and enduring advantages it offers. Research indicates that around 95% of babies are born with misalignments, which pediatric chiropractic adjustments can rectify before potential long-term issues arise. The efficacy of chiropractic care extends to addressing various common childhood concerns, such as ear infections and bedwetting, while also enhancing classroom focus, promoting better sleep, and refining posture and coordination. For older adults, chiropractic care is indispensable for maintaining overall wellness. A proactive approach is essential to counteract the impacts of aging, and chiropractic treatments play a vital role in preserving balance, flexibility, coordination, and alleviating pain stemming from prolonged desk work, fostering optimal health maintenance. Chiropractic care offers a multitude of benefits for individuals across all age groups, including heightened energy levels, reduced stress, and enhanced physical health. Regular adjustments support an active, pain-free lifestyle, catering to the diverse needs of individuals to uphold optimal well-being.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help Seniors?
Seniors are among the largest group of people who rely on regular chiropractic care. Chiropractic care can help seniors in a number of ways. Regular visits can help seniors with:
Range of Motion– Most seniors will agree that the more they age, the more difficult it gets to move around. Regular chiropractic care can help seniors improve their range of motion, so they can become more flexible and easily move around each and every day. Improved range of motion can not only make everyday life easier on seniors, but it can help seniors maintain their independence in their own homes and it can help prevent falls.
Better Posture– When the spine is straight, seniors will naturally start having better posture. Unfortunately, many seniors live their lives with poor posture and spend much of their time bent over and causing even more pain and pressure on their spine. This can be remedied with regular chiropractic care.
Immune System– Chiropractic cares for the nervous system and helps keep the nervous system up and running as it should be. When the nervous system is functioning as it should be, the entire body is up and running as it should be, including the immune system. A healthy immune system can help seniors fight of infection, colds, flus and other illnesses. Several studies have also shown that chiropractic adjustments also stimulate white blood cell production, which can be of great help to any senior who may be struggling with certain illnesses or ailments.
Pain Relief– One of the biggest reasons that seniors tend to visit the chiropractor is for pain relief. Adjustments can provide relief from back and neck pain and from pain associated with arthritis. Chiropractic care is one of the safest way to relieve spinal pain, and pressures on the discs, tendons and muscles in the spine and back. Many seniors who rely on chiropractic care are able to find pain relief without relying on pain killers.
Joint Degeneration– As the body ages, the joints start to undergo severe wear and tear. Many seniors suffer from joint degeneration, which can cause severe pain and other issues, many times leaving seniors unable to walk, or in the need of surgery or more invasive treatments. When the vertebrae and bones are not in proper alignment, it can put extra pressure on the joints and cause these joints to degenerate at a faster pace. When the spine is in line, it can relieve this pressure and slow down degeneration, meaning seniors can enjoy more years of pain-free, great joint health.
Increased Sense of Well-Being– Most seniors who receive regular chiropractic care find that they have minimized stress and tension, and a better overall sense of well-being. Many report a boost in energy as well. This is because chiropractic adjustments alleviate tension on the nervous system, which can help the entire body function as it should be and help people feel healthier and more energized.
