Chiropractic Care Can Have A Positive Impact On Health, Mobility, Balance, Coordination, Reduced Injury Risk, Pain Relief, And Quality Of Life!
The video talks about a 2014 study in JMPT that showed older people that used Chiropractic Care as part of their health care fared better in their ability to take care of themselves, improved ability to remain independent, and maintain their health.
The individuals were able to better take care of the day to day activities they needed to do.
They also felt healthier and although this is a subjective marker… it’s an important one!
How you feel largely determines the quality of your life and here Chiropractic Care was associated with improvement.
This is another great example of why you should see a chiropractor regardless of age.
