Don’t Let Age Slow You Down!

Surprising Ways Chiropractic Care Can Boost Senior Mobility

As we age, our bodies undergo several changes that can impact our mobility. Senior citizens may experience a decline in strength, flexibility, and balance, making it more challenging to move around and perform daily activities. Here are some of the top mobility issues that seniors face:

Joint Stiffness

Joint stiffness is a common mobility issue that can result from a variety of factors, including arthritis, injuries, and aging. Arthritis is  inflammation in the joints which often comes hand in hand with pain and stiffness. The stiffness can make it challenging to move freely, limiting your range of motion.

Muscle Weakness

Muscle weakness is another common problem. It’s often caused by a lack of physical activity, which can lead to the loss of muscle mass and strength. As a result, seniors may find it challenging to perform daily activities such as walking up stairs or lifting objects.

Poor Balance

Poor balance is a significant mobility issue that affects many seniors, and is prevalent even in those 65 years and younger. It can be caused by several factors, including inner ear issues, neuropathy and side effects of medication. Poor balance can make it challenging for seniors to stand or walk without support, leading to a higher risk of falls and injuries.
