Saltmeadow Family Chiropractic Call

Chiropractic care for older adults in Sarasota

Stiffness and staying active as you age. We use gentle techniques and a lower table, and no twisting adjustments unless you want them. We check balance and refer you if falls are a concern.

Gentle techniques

A practitioner gently moves the leg of a woman lying on a treatment table

We ask about bone density, blood thinners and past surgery before any care. Then we choose low force methods: an instrument, a drop table, or stretching and soft tissue work.

Balance and falls

An older man holds his arms out for balance while a therapist guides him

We check how steady you stand and walk. If falls are a concern, we refer you to your physician or a physical therapist and give you safe exercises for home.

Questions about care for older adults

Does Medicare cover this?

Medicare covers spinal adjustments only, not exams, X-rays or massage. We check your plan before your first visit.

Can a family member come along?

Yes. A family member is welcome in the room for the whole visit.
