If you’re over forty years old you know that as we age our body doesn’t feel or respond the same way as it used to when we were younger. It just doesn’t seem right that our body seems to become less “cooperative,” while our mind appears to improve and become more “inventive.” We’re stiff when we get out of bed; many of the activities we do during the day make us sore in the evening; and, if we’re not mindful, even a motion as simple as turning too quickly or reaching down to pick up a dropped piece of paper, can cause our back or some other muscle group to go into spasm. Fortunately, there is help available that can not only slow down the aging process of the body, but help us to avoid some of those problems altogether.
For an example, arthritis. In point of fact, with the exception of pharmaceuticals, conventional medicine does little to attend to this age-related affliction. What is the basis for such a limited approach? The answer is that most medical doctors are only concerned with the symptoms of arthritis. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, not only helps to relieve the pain of arthritis, naturally, without drugs, but it finds the origin of the affliction and eliminates it. For more than a hundred years, chiropractors, like your San Jose Chiropractor, have been caring for individuals suffering from back pain and other challenges created by arthritic changes in the musculoskeletal system.
Arthritic changes happen as your body ages because, over time, wear of various joints takes place as the result of repetitive stresses, and years of incorrect gait, improper posture, and lack of beneficial movement. Chiropractic treatment brings back motion into your joints and relieves pain, and it corrects any vertebral misalignment that may be causing irritation and restriction. In addition to causing arthritic changes in the spine and increasing pain, did you know that misaligned vertebra can also lower your resistance and immunity? It’s an irrefutable fact, and this could be one of the reasons why it may seem to you that as you age you develop more health issues and that it often takes longer for you to feel better again. Studies have shown that older individuals who are under chiropractic care stay healthier. To put it another way, as you get older, chiropractic treatment is good for what ails you!
Chiropractors are experts when it comes to the health of the musculoskeletal system, from the small, growing frame of an infant to the full-grown body of a mature adult. Your chiropractor is experienced in working with the aging process of the body and has exceptional observational and diagnostic skills that help in locating spinal misalignments and joint degeneration. In fact, a chiropractic examination can frequently reveal certain age-related conditions before they’ve begun to create noticeable pain. In addition, your San Jose Chiropractor can assess your posture and observe your gait to identify inappropriate patterns that could generate more arthritic changes in the future.
So, if you have been feeling your age lately, but you’d like to feel a whole lot better, call your San Jose Chiropractor today!
