Chiropractic is very hands-on and elderly patients find this helpful for the various musculoskeletal issues they undergo as they age.

The term “Chiropractic” was chosen by the profession’s founder, D.D. Palmer and it means “hands on healing”. Chiropractic care uses this hands-on approach to help encourage the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. Focusing on three key areas: muscles, bones, and joints to support your overall musculoskeletal health. 

The goal of a Chiropractor is to help their patients:

• Minimize pain
• Increase physical function
• Reduce reliance on pain-related medications

Geriatric Chiropractic Care & Chronic Pain:

Chronic pain is very multidimensional and involves many components of the body. Many elderly suffer from chronic pain that they have been experiencing for decades. Older patients conditions are often much more complex with multiple musculoskeletal and systemic complaints.

The American Journal of Medicine published material that revealed up to 50% of elderly live at home and suffer from Chronic pain and do not receive any form of conservative treatment for their pain.

Chiropractic Treatment & Care of Geriatric patients:

Chiropractic has documented and researched studies to show it’s efficacy in Chronic musculoskeletal pain for Geriatric patients. Chiropractors can help elderly patients by educating them on the proper physical activities. Research has shown that Geriatric patients who receive regular maintenance Chiropractic care age with fewer hospitalizations and less use of medication.

Dr. Harmony Mir is very confident in the treatment and care of Geriatric patients. Dr. Mir’s philosophy is shaped by her belief in wellness care. She believes that after removing the symptoms and pain, attention must be given to creating wellness. This is the path to a healthy life!
