Over 50's As you get older you begin to take looking after your health more seriously. You know that if you exercise regularly and eat sensibly you will keep more mobile and suffer less discomfort. Many elderly people are also choosing chiropractic to help support a healthy lifestyle. A recent study published in Topics in Clinical Chiropractic (USA) found mature chiropractic patients “less likely to have been hospitalised, less likely to have used a nursing home and more likely to report a better health status” Older patients under chiropractic care reported less arthritis and depression, as well as fewer chronic conditions. As you are more vulnerable to many diseases we take special care to give all our elderly patients a thorough examination. Your chiropractor’s diagnostic skills will enable him/her to see if you are showing signs of anything serious he/she will refer you to your GP or specialist with a covering letter. When it comes to treatment at St Asaph Chiropractic Clinic we recognize that many older people are more fragile and sensitive, so we have an array of gentle techniques suited to your condition no matter how infirm you are. We aim to get your stiff joints moving again and to relax your tired tense muscles. When your body is functioning better, the pain associated with osteoarthritis may diminish and even disappear altogether. Once your pain levels have reduced, you will be given flexibility and strengthening exercises to help prevent recurrence. If you have moderate to severe osteoarthritis you may benefit from a regular check-up once a month or so. You may also benefit from nutritional advice and we can recommend a range of supplements to help keep you healthy. click here for testimonials related to this page |

Chiropractic is the art and science practiced
by chiropractors. In many ways chiropractic is similar to
physiotherapy and osteopathy as practiced by physiotherapists and
osteopaths. Although there is much debate about the difference
between Chiropractors and Osteopaths, in reality their approaches
have much in common. Physiotherapists who manipulate are also
similar to Chiropractors and Osteopaths. |
