Numerous studies have confirmed what chiropractors and their patients have known for a long time: people who visit chiropractors for regular care are healthier – no matter how old or young.
For example, in one study the researchers concluded: “[Chiropractic] patients report significant positive changes in physical health, mental/emotional state, stress and life enjoyment…” (1)
While in another study it was found that: “Chiropractic is associated with significant benefits in physical and mental/emotional state and combined wellness.” (2)
In yet another study the authors found that: “Chiropractic users were less likely to be hospitalized, less likely to use a nursing home, and less likely to use prescription drugs, more likely to have better health, to exercise, to be mobile.” One of the more interesting things about this study was that it involved people over 75 years of age!!!
