Geriatrics

Research says:

”Senior citizens using chiropractic care made approximately half the visits to a medical provider compared to the national average, only 36% of patients reported frequent use of drugs, reported fewer depressive symptoms, were more likely to report having strenuous levels of exercise, and 73.9% had not been hospitalized in 3 years.”
-Rupert and Coulter, JVSR

“Lumbar disc and muscles degenerate without symptoms in apparently healthy subjects. This leads to poor posture and spinal degeneration”
-Parkkula J Spine Dis 1992

“Recent studies indicate that it may take between 1 and 31 years for enough scar tissue to form after neural trauma to cause symptoms to arrive, even though this process is occurring day after day, year after year at sub clinical level.”
-JMPT 1998

Dr. Schotzko says:
The key to life is motion. We were designed to move ourselves to survive. A major problem in the geriatric community is that they begin to lose the ability to move around and some it affects more than others. A healthy spine is vital in allowing a person regardless of age to move around. The time to take care of your spine is much earlier than senior citizen age. Just like a car, misaligned tires wear out faster regardless of how nice the car is and a misaligned spine wears out faster even when you make healthy choices. Proper spinal alignment will help to slow down the aging process of your spine and allow you to keep that vital motion in your life. When was your last check up?
