More than one-third of people over the age of 65 struggle with some type of balance or dizziness issue. Why is this number so high? We see patients of all ages in our Largo, Florida chiropractic office, and many older folks see Dr. Mark Carlo because they feel healthier and better with regular chiropractic adjustments.

Recent research suggests that neck dysfunction, such as is common with subluxations, is the root cause of balance and dizziness problems reported by this older people. Fortunately, one effective way to correct this particular dysfunction is chiropractic care.

Chiropractic Better for Balance

Although most seniors tend to look to their general practitioner for help with balance related issues, the most effective source of improvement actually comes from chiropractic care instead. Plus, this success rate soars even higher for older people who've suffered some type of trauma, neurological issue, or musculoskeletal problem as chiropractic has been proven effective in all of these circumstances.
