Enhancing Senior Mobility with Chiropractic Care
The aging process naturally brings changes that can limit mobility. Many seniors experience decreased strength, reduced flexibility, and balance challenges that impact daily activities.
Let’s explore the common mobility concerns facing older adults.
Joint Mobility Limitations
Restricted joint movement frequently affects seniors due to various factors including arthritis, past injuries, and normal aging processes. Arthritic conditions cause joint inflammation, resulting in discomfort and limited range of motion that affects everyday movements.
Declining Muscle Strength
Many seniors experience muscle weakness, often resulting from reduced physical activity. This natural decline in muscle mass and power can make routine tasks like climbing stairs or carrying groceries increasingly difficult.
Balance Difficulties
Balance problems significantly impact seniors, particularly those 65 and older. These issues stem from multiple sources including inner ear dysfunction, nerve damage, and medication effects. Compromised balance makes independent standing and walking challenging and substantially increases fall risk.
