Chiropractic Care for Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a medical condition that affects approximately 1 million Australians, particularly those aged 50 years and over, where there is a 66% occurrence of having osteoporosis or osteopenia.

Osteoporosis is a condition in which a person’s bones become weak and brittle. This can make the bones fracture more easily if you have a fall. It is therefore important to manage and treat this condition.

How Can A Chiropractor Help With Osteoporosis?

Our team at Dynamic Chiropractic are highly trained healthcare professionals and are able to treat disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors use low force adjustments such as the activator and gentle soft tissue work for patients with osteoporosis as a way to help them manage aches and pains.

Alleviate Pain

Chiropractic care may be able to help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with osteoporosis. Many people with osteoporosis experience pain in their back, neck, and other areas of the body, which can be difficult to manage with traditional pain medications. Chiropractic care offers a natural and effective way to manage pain and reduce inflammation, without the use of drugs or surgery.

Improve Mobility

Chiropractic care can also help improve overall mobility and flexibility for people with osteoporosis. As the condition progresses, many people experience a loss of range of motion and flexibility, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks and activities. Chiropractic adjustments may help improve joint function and restore mobility, allowing people with osteoporosis to move more freely and comfortably.

Improve Posture and Balance

Another important benefit of chiropractic care for osteoporosis is its ability to improve posture and balance, which is particularly important for the age group that osteoporosis affects the most. As bones become weaker and more brittle, people with osteoporosis are at an increased risk of falls and other accidents – a leading cause of hospitalisation for seniors. Chiropractic adjustments can help improve spinal alignment and correct postural imbalances, which can in turn help to reduce the risk of falls and improve overall balance.
