The aging process is inevitable. But getting on in years does not have to mean the loss in our quality of life. Good health is essential to enjoying our later years. Having good health at an older age is not a matter of chance. There are many things that contribute to good health and an enjoyable life. Chiropractic is one of those things. Whether you are old or young, your nervous system controls all the functions and systems of your body. The signals that emanate from your brain must be clear and exact when they reach the intended body part. Any interference along the pathways between the brain and the body will result in that body part not being able to function correctly.
One of the main concerns for seniors is maintaining mobility. Mobility ensures independence and allows participation in daily activities.

Most seniors want to reduce or eliminate the amount of medications they take, but many believe that they have no choice. Chiropractic is not an alternative for medication. The goal of chiropractic is to get your body to function properly so that medications are no longer necessary. Similarly, Doctors of Chiropractic do not prescribe medications, and do not take patients off their medications. Chiropractors work to bring about a condition of health in which medications may no longer be needed. It is then up to the prescribing health professional to reduce or eliminate the drugs.
The secret to living a long and healthy life is not really a secret. Living a long and enjoyable life is assured when your body functions at its maximum potential. If you look in almost any anatomy book, you will see a description of how the body works with one basic truth. "The brain and nervous system controls and coordinates all the functions of the body." It is obvious that a nervous system free from subluxations is the best assurance for proper function. Chiropractors are experts at locating and correcting subluxations.
