When you think of anti-aging treatments, you probably think of creams and serums that combat or prevent wrinkling. You probably think of lotions that stimulate collagen production or consist of hyaluronic acid.
These all, however, are no competition for chiropractic care’s effects on aging. The treatments we provide at Precision Spinal Care, also known as A Spine at a Time, serving Chelsea, MI, and the nearby region, focus on all areas of your body, not just your face and wrinkles, giving you total-body rejuvenation. Let’s discuss what chiropractic care can do to slow the effects of aging.
Keep You Limber
Over time, your soft tissue becomes more rigid and you become less flexible. You then can’t move around as well as you used to. It might be difficult to accomplish everything you want. And you might find yourself foregoing activities you once loved because you just can’t keep up. These are all signs of aging that you don’t hear about in all the ads for the salves and other concoctions on the market.
However, when you keep your body flexible, you can then do more. You can keep up with people younger than you, and you’ll ultimately feel more youthful as you continue to do what you love for as long as possible.
Ward Off the Impact of Arthritis
Arthritis is a progressive condition that affects your joints. You may wake up with joint stiffness and pain. You might particularly notice the pain more so when you’re moving that joint than at any other time. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, and it stems from age, well, not so much age as wear and tear on the joints over time.
You may start to lose the ability to partake in certain activities, which will increase over time until you may no longer be able to take care of yourself like you once could.
One way to combat the decrease in independence is through chiropractic care. You can then maintain as much of your independence as you can for as long as possible, which we feel is truly anti-aging at its best.
Ease Stress and Its Effect on Aging
Since this is only a short blog, we won’t get into exactly how stress relates to aging, but we will let you know that it takes a toll on various aspects of your health and even contributes to wrinkling.
You can ease your stress levels through chiropractic care. Our Chelsea chiropractor will provide alignments or other treatments that improve nervous system function and alleviate your pain. In return, these treatments will reduce the amount of stress you have and will result in
stress having less of an impact on your body and aging.
Pain Relief
Ever hear someone say they have so much pain they feel like they’re 90 when they’re only in their 40s? Pain doesn’t have to be a part of the aging process, especially if you look at statistics and see that not every older adult has it.
When you receive chiropractic care you can minimize your pain through every age bracket you hit, which will make you feel younger than you are.
Feel More Energized
People naturally slow down as they age. It’s part of life, though it would be nice to have the energy a six-year-old has when you’re in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or older. While you might not be able to get back the energy of a child, chiropractic care can help you feel more energized than you currently are, which will result in you feeling younger than you are.
Help With Cognitive Clarity
The brain slows down with age, usually after the age of 60. If Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia sets in, it can greatly impair your memory and cause other mental decline. However, chiropractic care can optimize your nervous system function and assist you with maintaining your mental focus and clarity.
At Precision Spinal Care, serving Chelsea, MI, and the general vicinity, our practitioner can help you feel younger, and even possibly look younger, for longer. It might not be a youth serum advertised on TV, but it’s certainly one, and it can be started at any stage of your life!
