Healthy aging is about minimising the undesirable effects of aging such as disease and disability, and remaining active and independent, for as long as possible.

Chiropractic care in older adults has been shown to have positive effects in improving health and wellbeing, activity level, independence and general quality of life.

Research suggests that patients who have a regular care rate higher in functional ability studies than those managed medically, meaning they can better maintain their independence(1). Older patients choosing chiropractic care tend to use fewer medications, have fewer hospitalisations and surgical interventions;(2).

Chiropractic care has also shown to be able to have a positive effect in improving an older persons fall risk.
