Background: A 79-year-old female presented for Chiropractic care with a primary concern of poor sleep, energy and vitality, and a desire to feel healthier. Despite her active lifestyle, she was experiencing balance issues and other challenges that lead to her declining level of physical activity.
Intervention: The patient commenced a course of care during which she was checked and adjusted using Diversified Techniques with the Activator as a method of delivery, and Thompson Drop Technique in addition to a cervical orthotic.
Outcomes: Over the course of care, the patient reported improvements in sleep, energy, mental clarity and balance, which allowed her to re-engage with a healthy and active lifestyle.
Conclusion: Chiropractic care across the lifespan may support broad improvements in quality of life, and should be investigated by further research into healthy aging.
