Baby Boomers Chiropractor

In our practice, as well as in multiple studies, the benefits of chiropractic care for senior adults has been astounding. These benefits include a significant decrease or elimination of pain, decrease in stiffness and muscle spasms, increased mobility and range of motion, increased balance and coordination with significant decrease of falls and other types of injuries, as well as improved outcomes for injuries already sustained, enhanced tissue healing and decrease in tissue inflammation, decrease arthritis development and arthritic joint pain, minimizing of spinal stress and subsequent degeneration, decrease in or elimination in constipation, headaches and sinus problems. Seniors receiving chiropractic care experience increased energy, strength, joint health, and sense of well-being.
 
Chiropractic offers a non-medical alternative to the over drugged older population who suffer illness and death from medications. Chiropractic care frees the body from a serious form of health damaging stress called vertebral subluxation complex that causes premature aging by destroying vitality and weakening our natural healing ability.
 
Accepting that certain medical procedures have a place in our lives, chiropractors emphasize non drug, non surgical concurrent alternatives.
 
It is possible to live a long, full life without being physically or mentally incapacitated. In fact 85% of people over 65 have no serious health problems.
 
Regular chiropractic spinal adjustments should be part of every older person's health care regime to keep them younger and healthier at any age.
 
No Twisting or Turning, Popping or Cracking....and Greatly Effective!

Women's Wellness and Chiropractic Care

The relationship between the spinal column , reproductive system, nervous system, endocrine (hormonal) system, and overall health is extensive. Chiropractic care can help these systems function fully.
 
Because these systems work synergistically we use hormonal and nutritional testing along with hormonal and nutritional counseling and treatments if they are necessary in our tailor made plans for you! Remember you decide your ultimate goals and together we decide the best way for us to get you there.
 
Menstrual & Premenstrual Problems
 
The natural benefits of chiropractic care have relieved symptoms of a wide variety of pelvic and gynecological conditions, including but not limited to pain, PMS, bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunctions.
 
Infertility
 
Centuries of case studies have proven the fact that women who have been labeled "infertile" have been able to conceive, carry to term, and deliver a healthy baby following chiropractic adjustments. Some of the theories behind these findings include normalization of hormonal regulation, realignment of reproductive organs and overall reduction of stress.
 
Hysterectomy
 
Hysterectomys are known to cause severe problems including depression, loss of stamina, loss of sex drive, urinary incontinence, bowel problems, icy feet and toes, diminished sensation from the waist down, bone and joint pain, memory loss, and other problems. Before any woman decides to have a hysterectomy it is beneficial to seek non-surgical alternatives.
 
A Great place to get the most information is to visit your local or family chiropractor and be evaluated for your specific needs.
