As we get older, many of us start to develop problems with balance and dizziness. Research has shown that more than one third of people over the age of 65 experience dizziness, vertigo, or some type of balance problem. This is a serious problem that can lead to falls and broken bones. A new study reports that chiropractic care is an effective treatment.
Most people go to their general practicioner for help, but the research shows that chiropractic care is more effective than medication. Most dizziness and balance problems in older people are caused by neck dysfunction. Auto accidents and sports related injuries are the most common causes of injuries to the neck. Chiropractic care helps restore the normal function of the spine after these types of injuries.
Chiropractic care is safe and it doesn’t involve the risks involved with medications or surgery.
