How Chiropractic Care Benefits Medicare Patients
For seniors, chiropractic care offers a drug-free, non-invasive option for managing musculoskeletal pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall wellness. Medicare covers certain chiropractic services, specifically spinal manipulation for pain relief. This treatment can help with conditions like low back pain, hip pain, and neck pain, providing significant benefits without relying on medication.
Key Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Medicare Patients:
Pain Relief Without Medication: Chiropractic adjustments help alleviate pain from conditions such as arthritis and sciatica without relying on prescription drugs, reducing the risk of side effects.
Improved Mobility: Regular chiropractic adjustments improve flexibility, making it easier for seniors to move and perform daily activities.
Fall Prevention: Chiropractic care can help improve balance and coordination, lowering the risk of falls—a common concern for seniors.
Holistic Approach: Chiropractors take a holistic approach to healing, addressing the root cause of pain and offering long-term relief.
Medicare patients may also use Excellus Blue Cross, MVP or other major insurance carriers as a secondary insurance plan to help cover additional chiropractic costs that Medicare may not fully pay for, including some treatments outside of spinal manipulation.
If you’re a senior on Medicare with a secondary insurance, chiropractic care can be an effective and affordable solution for pain relief and improving mobility. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you live a healthier, more active life!
