Chiropractic Care for Seniors – Mt Eliza, Frankston, Mornington Peninsula, Somerville, Baxter

At Mt Eliza Family Chiropractic we believe that chiropractic care is for all ages, in fact, many of our patients are in their 60’s, 70’s and beyond.

How does Chiropractic assist older patients?

As we age our bodies don’t always work as well as they used to. Chiropractic care can assist in improving or maintaining quality of life by improving mobility and flexibility within the spine. This can assist in reducing pain that may impact day to day activities.

Chiropractic treatment may also help improve balance, reducing the risk of fall or injury in elderly patients.

What does Chiropractic Treatment for Seniors involve?

Our chiropractors will take a thorough case history followed by a physical examination. This may include testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard orthopaedic, neurological and postural examinations. This will allow the chiropractor to gain valuable information regarding your current health status any any complications that may be present.

For patients suffering from degeneration, low bone density or osteoporosis, we use low force, very gentle adjustments. This allows elderly patients to experience the benefits of chiropractic care in a safe manner.

Chiropractic care can also be used to maintain health and physical activity in Seniors. Our chiropractors can put together an at home stretching and strengthening program to help you stay active and mobile.
