Study Shows Benefit of Massage for Senior Citizens

by Red Mountain Chiro-Med October 25, 2012
written by Red Mountain Chiro-Med October 25, 2012

Dr. Maggie MearsChronic, persistent pain is a frequent complaint of older adults.

This discomfort can greatly affect the quality of life, while also adding to negative results, such as reduced activity, depression and an increase in pharmaceutical medication.

Dr. Lynn Pangburn, at Red Mountain Chiro-Med, sees this frequently in her East Mesa practice. Dr. Pangburn said, “I have a big population of retired people because I’m a Medicare provider. Chiropractic care alone ha

s shown to greatly reduce pain, but combined with massage therapy it is very powerful in providing much less pain for longer periods of time.”

A study conducted at the Graduate Center for Gerontology at the University of Kentucky showed, for older adults, massage provided:

• Less limitation due to physical or emotional issues.

• Better emotional health.

• More energy/less fatigue.

• Better social functioning.

• A return to some activities, which had been curtailed because of pain.

• Better allover health.

Dr. Maggie Mears is taking appointments at Red Mountain Chiro-Med for Medicare patients to be evaluated as to necessity of treatment for prescribed medical massage. For more information, and to make your appointment with Dr. Mears, call (480) 924-7632.

Red Mountain Chiro-Med is conveniently located at the northwest corner of Recker and McKellips roads at
2044 N. Recker Road.
