So many misconceptions about chiropractic care! I have had patients told by medical providers that they cannot continue with chiropractic treatment because they have osteoporosis. These providers probably mean well, but unfortunately most medical providers are very uninformed concerning chiropractic care. The reality is that this condition is not an absolute contraindication to chiropractic care. We just modify or use different techniques on patients with osteoporosis.
I have attached a link to a document by the World Health Organization on chiropractic training and safety. Here is a statement from the document. "When employed skilfully and appropriately, chiropractic care is safe and effective for the prevention and management of a number of health problems."
Does this surprise anyone?

Joliet octogenarian cycles, skis and does overseas mission work with Morris-based group
I have been a lifelong athlete and member of the Joliet Bicycle Club for over 20 years. I feel that staying fit has brought much benefit to my life. Here is an inspirational article on another long time member of the JBC who is now 85 years old and continues to stay fit!
Recent research has revealed that much smaller amounts of exercise than previously thought can yield large health benefits. Many current guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week, and for added benefit moderate to vigorous muscle strengthening exercises 2 days a week.
Any comments on how exercise has benefited your life?
