This age group represents the greatest consumers of chiropractic care. It is often during this period in our lives that wear and tear syndromes start to develop and with them symptoms associated with back, neck and joint pain. Most of the injuries seen in a chiropractic office among younger adults (20-40) are usually classified as acute, being accident or situational in nature.

 

By far the majority of ailments seen by a Doctor of Chiropractic in the age group 40-60 years are at least in part chronic and developmental. Usually during this period of time, cumulative wear and tear associated with work, sports or the unfortunate luck of postural or structural injury start to accelerate the process of aging. Degenerative syndromes start to manifest in the weight bearing joints and with it stiffness, restriction and pain. Left untreated, many of these ailments continue to deteriorate resulting in greater discomfort and eventual functional restriction and or disability. This we believe is the time in our lives where chiropractic care should be part of everyone’s health care team. More often than not, conditions caught and effectively treated during this period of our lives can be completely resolved and no other health professional is better equipped to assess and recommend care for mechanical injuries than your Doctor of Chiropractic.
