Medicare Covered Chiropractic Care for Seniors | Chiropractor for Seniors in Oxnard, CA
Hello, everyone, I’m Dr. Tom Johnson from Kalani Total Health Center. Today we’re talking about chiropractic care for seniors and Medicare coverage for chiropractic services. Let’s get started. First, let’s talk about the common bone and joint and soft tissue changes that occur as we age. As you may well known that we commonly will form degenerative arthritic conditions and our joints and our bones and joints as well as calcifications in the soft tissues, degradation or changes in the cartilage that are covering the bones as well. And this all results in pain, stiffness, and disability.
Chiropractic Care for Seniors that is Covered by Medicare
As you may know from previous lectures, low back pain and neck pain Spinosaurus is the leading cause of pain disability throughout the world today. Now, there’s some key factors that can contribute to the acceleration of these degenerative arthritic conditions as we age. First and more foremost injuries, whether it’s repetitive injuries, posture injuries, Frank trauma, car accidents, lifting injuries, work injuries, personal injuries, etc. Poor posture as well. Sleeping in weird positions, not taking care of your body. Poor health habits, you know, the list goes on and on and on. These all can contribute and accelerate arthritic conditions. Now one thing I really want to stress is the importance of your spinal health, your overall quality of life, and not only living longer, but living a quality of life. With modern medicine helping us live longer lifespans. What we need to focus on now is the quality of life. That quality of life is dependent on your body movement patterns, how well can you move your body, your shoulders, your neck, your back, your knees, your hips, feet and ankle, hands and wrist. We are our quality of life is centered around the ability to move well, and in general terms, a phrase I like to kind of like to show patients is when you move better, you’ll feel better naturally and you’ll perform better. So performance for an athlete’s easy to see. But performance for us in our daily life means I’m seeking better and breathing better, stronger immune system better quality of life easier to work easier to do my activities of daily living life is easier life is more enjoyable when we simply move better.
