Chiropractor for Senior Citizens in Lacey, WA

Aging brings wisdom, experience, and cherished moments with family — but it can also bring physical challenges. Many seniors experience stiffness, arthritis, joint pain, or decreased mobility that make it harder to stay active and independent. These changes can feel frustrating and isolating, especially for those who want to keep enjoying their favorite activities.

At our office in Lacey, WA, chiropractor Dr. Kirk Hansen provides gentle, effective chiropractic care tailored to the needs of senior citizens. With advanced training in chiropractic orthopedics, he helps older adults reduce pain, improve mobility, and maintain a higher quality of life.

Why Seniors Benefit from Chiropractic Care

As we age, the spine, joints, and muscles naturally undergo changes. Chiropractic care can help address:

Arthritis and joint degeneration
Stiffness or limited range of motion
Chronic back or neck pain
Balance issues and posture problems
Disc degeneration or spinal changes
Muscle tension and spasms
Joint pain in the hips, knees, or shoulders

By improving alignment and function, chiropractic care supports better movement, reduced discomfort, and a more active lifestyle.
