Monday Motivation: Sarcopenia (A muscle's worst enemy)

What is "sarcopenia"? It's the progressive loss of muscle strength and function, primarily due to aging. It affects everyone differently but increases as we get older. Sarcopenia begins to affect us in our 30s and into our 40s. So what can we do to delay the onset?? See the infographic from Cleveland Clinic below for more information. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23167-sarcopenia

Chiropractic Care and Sarcopenia

If lifespan is the destination, then healthspan is the journey. How is your quality of life lately? Can you do everything you want to without restriction? What's causing that restriction? Maybe you have restricted joint motion. Or maybe it has more to do with your muscle strength and what nutrients you are giving your body. I want to reach as many people as I can to help them achieve their goals. Fortunately, chiropractic gives me a way to reach out and offer advice and health suggestions.

In addition to eating healthy and focusing on exercise, chiropractic care can directly affect the progression of sarcopenia. We can help delay the onset of sarcopenia by manipulating and mobilizing joints, teaching proper exercises and strengthening techniques for muscle growth, and allowing an overall better connected neuromusculoskeletal system.

If you've never tried chiropractic care before, it's never too late. Reach out to us and we would happily discuss all the benefits it has to offer!
