Despite acquiring age, it has been established that a wellness consultation and the services that are encouraged as a result of the consultation may benefit the elderly in numerous ways.
As individuals age, discovering coordinated-based medical care may prove to be exceptionally difficult. In fact, it is quite common to find that aging individuals often have been prescribed various treatments and medications by a variety of specialists.
We here at Advanced Chiropractic and Wellness Center work with each patient on a one-on-one basis to get a snapshot of the “big picture” so that our patients – especially the elderly ones – are capable of addressing the issues of optimizing the physical health, the mental health and providing a boost to a person’s overall quality of life.
Why Do Aging Populations Need a Wellness Consultation?
As we age, symptoms that we experience and diseases that we are diagnosed with are less likely to respond in an appropriate manner to standard medical treatments.
Furthermore, these treatments may have a detrimental impact on our bodies – especially if we are weak, suffering from mobility issues, experiencing balance problems, and other types of frailty.
We here at Advanced Chiropractic and Wellness Center will do a personal assessment of each patient. We will then be able to create a customized treatment plan that includes nutritional tips and advice, customized stretches and exercises that will strengthen and mobilize the body, and other strategies that will enhance the mood, the body, and the spirit.
Will a Wellness Consultation Benefit Caregivers?
In short, the answer is “yes”; a wellness consultation will be able to help caregivers properly care for those that they are responsible. First, it will help caregivers understand what is happening with the body. Then, it will educate on how nutrition plays a role in the health of the patient that they care for on a regular basis.
They will be instructed on how they are able to assist the patient is performing strengthening and stability exercises, and may even be able to provide them with services and resources that will help them perform optimally as a caregiver and avoid situations – such as burnout – when providing care to the elderly.
If their patient has any underlying diseases and/or medical conditions, a wellness consultation may help the caregiver understand the progression of the issue and how nutrition and exercise can delay the progression of the condition.
