Back Clinic and Spine Specialist. Alzheimer’s disease has exploded into a global health crisis. According to the National Institute on Aging, Alzheimer’s disease “is by far the most threatening epidemic that we have in our nation.”The National Institute on Aging estimates that as many as 5 million Americans over 65 have some form of the disease.
The Alzheimer’s Association states that as many as one in three older people will die from Alzheimer’s disease or dementia in the United States. Chiropractic adjustments are designed to release pressure on the spine for proper signaling to the brain. Unfortunately, in older people, glucose does not properly make its way to the brain and sets off a chain of events that can lead to changes to the brain structure that indicate this disease.
Chiropractic treatment and adjustments for older patients, specifically around the cervical area, allows for optimal circulation, glucose, and nerve energy to easily reach the brain. This prevents the formation of Amyloid-beta proteins and the development of the disease.
