We believe that you are not the only one that should receive the benefits of chiropractic care. Kids have spines too. If their spines grow in a misaligned state, then they are susceptible to arthritis and degenerative disc problems later in life. Imagine building the Space Needle on a crooked foundation. Do you think there would eventually be complications? The same is true with the alignment of the spine. As for the elderly that might already have arthritis or would like to enjoy optimum health, chiropractic adjustments help increase the mobility of the spine and thus decrease pain and inflammation that sits in the arthritic joints. It is well noted in the literature that adjustment help with gastric motility too!
