Preventing Falls with Regular Chiropractic Care Is Highly Beneficial.
Falls are devastating as people grow older. I cannot emphasise enough how important maintaining alignment and ultimately balance of the spine, has in reducing the likelihood of falls.
Chances of ending up in a rest home earlier in retirement is hugely more likely statistically, if you fall unexpectedly as you age.
In my opinion the neck has a considerable effect on the overall balance of the body.
periodic chiropractic fine tuning of this area is a bargain compared with the costs of a rest home after a fall.
The cervical area of the spine strongly effects the built in body balance mechanisms, especially the cerebellum or that part of the brain that makes us aware of our body’s proprioception or body balance.
Over 30 years of practice, I have seen people many times neglecting their spine chiropractic-ally as soon as spinal symptoms cease.
In our older years quality of life is dependent on finely a tuned proprioception/balance system to prevent devastating falls.
The highest level of chiropractic work is to enhance neurological function not just to reduce pain.
It is far cheaper to have a periodic spinal tuneup rather than increasing chances of falls, followed by high monthly rest home bills. This can be the result that comes
when independence is lost.
The above information is my opinion based on 30 years of chiropractic practice.
