Greetings friends of Blakely Chiropractic, and today, particularly warm greetings to our senior friends and neighbors. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), falls are one of the 10 leading causes of nonfatal emergency department visits in the United States. Adults aged 65 and older have the highest incidence of unintentional falls. These statistics can make a compelling case for seniors to strongly consider chiropractic treatment as a non-surgical and drug-free way to decrease the threat of fall-related injury.

But for seniors, chiropractic is not simply about fall prevention. Chiropractic has demonstrated an ability to reduce the risk of arthritis, improve balance and mobility, reduce the likelihood of requiring the care of a nursing home, and even decrease the incidences of hospital stays. Here is a list of the potential health benefits you can enjoy with a strategic chiropractic care plan:

Prevent Falls
Manage pain without surgery or narcotic medication
Improve Balance
Increase Range of Motion
Boost Immunity
