There is no doubt that we are living longer, but are we preparing for the later years in life? Sadly, for most people, the answer is no. And what do we see as a result? Walkers, canes, walk-in showers, motorized carts, chair lifts for the stairs and many other machines that are utilized to make getting around easier. What if we started working toward preserving our mobility before it is lost? Our bodies are infinitely intricate and complex, but in simplest terms they are machines – they have moving parts, consume energy and do work. All machines need maintenance. You are probably doing everything you can to prevent tooth loss. Are you doing anything to prevent loss of mobility? Chiropractic care can help to preserve mobility by keeping the joints in the spine healthy.
