Chiropractic Care for Seniors & the Elderly

At Adjust to Health Chiropractic, Dr. Jan understands that health needs change with age. Many seniors experience stiffness, reduced mobility, arthritis, balance challenges, or aches and pains that impact their ability to enjoy life. Chiropractic care provides a natural, drug-free approach to maintaining mobility, reducing discomfort, and improving overall quality of life for older adults.

Why Chiropractic Care Matters for Seniors

As the body ages, joints may lose flexibility, muscles may weaken, and the spine can become less resilient. These changes can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced independence. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can:

  • Improve joint mobility and flexibility
  • Reduce pain from arthritis or degenerative conditions
  • Enhance balance and coordination to lower fall risk
  • Support nervous system function for better overall health
  • Promote more restful sleep and improved energy

Gentle Techniques Tailored for Older Adults

Dr. Jan uses safe and gentle methods appropriate for seniors, including low-force adjustments and soft tissue techniques. These approaches are designed to be comfortable, effective, and tailored to each patient’s health status and goals. Whether you’re looking to stay active, reduce pain, or maintain independence, chiropractic care can be adapted to meet your needs.

Conditions Chiropractic Can Help With

Many seniors find relief and improved quality of life with chiropractic care for conditions such as:

  • Arthritis and joint stiffness
  • Neck and back pain
  • Hip, knee, and shoulder discomfort
  • Balance and coordination difficulties
  • Headaches and tension
  • Limited range of motion

Whole-Body Benefits

Beyond pain relief, regular chiropractic care can support overall wellness. Improved mobility allows seniors to stay more active, engage in social activities, and maintain independence. Supporting the nervous system also helps the body function at its best—making it easier to heal, adapt, and thrive in daily life.
