Everyone is subject to osteoporosis but that does not mean that everyone will develop it.  There are various causes for the disease.  One of which is disuse atrophy. As we age most of us progressively decrease our physical activities. By doing so we are decreasing our bodies ability to create healthy new bone. Chiropractic therapy applies stress to bones and motion into the joints which stimulates bone cells to destroy old bone and build new bone.  In addition, by receiving regular Chiropractic care you are strengthening your nervous system which, in turn, controls the body’s hormone production levels. 

By concentrating on the treatable risk factors, Chiropractors have the ability to deal effectively with the situation, treating the problem and helping to prevent further consequence of the disease.
