Drug and Surgery free Chiropractic options for Geriatrics (over 60 Baby Boomers)

The over 60 year old, geriatric, and baby boomer population is looking for ways to avoid medication and surgery; chiropractic has been shown to be a safe choice. The average 65 year old is on 6-8 medications per day. The third leading cause of death in this age group is from the various side effects of “properly” prescribed drugs and surgery. What this means is, the doctor gave the right drug for the right condition, the only problem was that the patient died. Dr. Fred Schofield, at Atlas Chiropractic in Northwest Phoenix, has safely cared for thousands of patients over 60 years old for more than 25 years. Dr. Fred uses soft and gentle techniques to not only ease pain, but also free up nerve flow and allow the body to heal itself. If your hair and finger nails are still growing, your body still has the potential to regenerate and heal. This regeneration process happens because of the nervous system, and Dr. Fred Schofield’s adjustments enhance nervous system function.

Dizziness, nausea, constipation, ulcers, headaches, nerve pain, muscle spasm, numbness, mineral deficiency, memory loss, insomnia and pain, are just a few of the side effects that can be caused by prescription drugs. Dr. Fred has a simple plan in store for you. His job is not to tell you if you should or shouldn’t take medication or get surgery. Everyone agrees that the healthier you are, the less drugs and surgery you need. As your body heals and regenerates with chiropractic care, simply ask your medical doctor about reducing your medication. You may be surprised how much you can reduce your medication as you get healthier.
