A recent study review reveals that 100 million Americans experience chronic joint pain, with back pain consistently ranking among the top five most common reasons for scheduling a healthcare visit. Back pain is particularly common among older adults, who may have experienced a lifetime of improper body mechanics and wear and tear. While many seniors deal with this problem by masking the symptoms with pain medication, it is far better to address the underlying cause(s) of back pain. A first-line approach of non-invasive care that involves modification of body structure and mechanics helps relieve pain, reduce discomfort, and prevent the progression to chronic disability. Chiropractic treatment can get seniors up and moving toward a more active future.
