Chiropractic for Seniors

Lawrence, KS | Midwest Muscle & Joint Clinic

As we age, our bodies undergo a range of changes that can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. For many seniors, chiropractic care can provide a safe and effective way to manage these symptoms and improve overall quality of life.

At Midwest Muscle & Joint Clinic in Lawrence, KS, our chiropractors have extensive experience working with geriatric patients. We understand the unique needs of seniors and tailor our treatments to their specific health conditions and concerns.

Here are some of the ways we approach chiropractic care for geriatric patients:

Comprehensive Assessments

Before beginning any treatment, our chiropractors perform a thorough assessment of each patient's health and medical history. We take the time to listen to our patients' concerns and gather information about any chronic conditions, injuries, or surgeries they may have had. This allows us to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses each patient's specific needs and goals.

Gentle Techniques

At Midwest Muscle & Joint Clinic, we use gentle chiropractic techniques that are safe and effective for seniors. These techniques may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue mobilization, and therapeutic exercises. Our goal is to relieve pain and improve mobility without causing additional discomfort or injury.

Collaborative Care

We believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare, and work closely with our patients' primary care physicians and other specialists to ensure that all aspects of their care are coordinated and effective. We also provide our patients with guidance and education on how to maintain their spinal health and mobility between visits.

Focus on Function

Our approach to chiropractic care for geriatric patients is focused on improving function and quality of life. We work with our patients to set achievable goals, such as reducing pain, improving range of motion, and increasing strength and balance. By addressing these goals, we can help our patients maintain their independence and continue to enjoy the activities they love.

Chiropractic care can be a safe and effective way for seniors to manage pain and improve mobility. At Midwest Muscle & Joint Clinic, our experienced chiropractors are dedicated to helping geriatric patients achieve optimal health and function.
