For older adults, arthritis symptoms can be more pronounced. Chiropractic care can significantly improve quality of life by:
o Joint manipulation to help manage chronic pain, improve posture, and enhance mobility.
o Consider use of modalities such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and heat/cold applications to reduce pain and inflammation.
o Developing exercise programs tailored to improve joint flexibility and strength without exacerbating symptoms.
o Balance and coordination exercises to reduce the risk of falls and related injuries.
o Nutritional counseling to support joint health, focusing on anti-inflammatory diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.
o Stress management techniques, including mindfulness and relaxation exercises, to reduce overall body tension and improve mental well-being.

Managing arthritis can be challenging due to the natural progression of aging joints over time. Chiropractors are uniquely positioned to offer comprehensive, non-invasive support to arthritis patients through all stages in life. With personalized care plans, preventive strategies, and an integrative approach, chiropractors can help manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and promote long-term joint health. By addressing both the physical and lifestyle aspects of arthritis, chiropractic care can be an effective component in the holistic management of this common and challenging condition.
Two common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis (OA): Often referred to as degenerative joint disease, OA is primarily due to the wear and tear of cartilage, leading to pain, swelling, and decreased joint mobility.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues, leading to joint inflammation and damage.

Neck pain is a common problem with many possible causes. Poor posture, hunching over a computer, arthritis, whiplash, and muscle strain from simple things like reading in bed or grinding your teeth can all trigger neck pain. When your neck muscles become tired and strained, pain is usually the first symptom.
A Doctor of Chiropractic is highly trained to diagnose the causes of your neck pain and provide hands-on treatment.
If neck pain is affecting your ability to get through the day and keeping you away from your favourite activities, consider chiropractic care. A chiropractor will assess your symptoms, diagnose your condition, and recommend a treatment plan to put you on the road to recovery. Your chiropractor can also provide expert advice to help you prevent pain and injury from recurring.

• Don’t bounce while stretching
• Stretch slowly and remember to breathe
• If you feel any pain, stop immediately and relax
