Joint Pain and Women's Health in Brampton After 40
Women's health needs shift with every decade. Many women in their forties, fifties and beyond describe the same things: knees that ache on the stairs, a lower back that stiffens by mid-afternoon, and a growing worry about slipping on an icy sidewalk. These changes are common, and many of them respond well to the right care.
At EPIC Health and Movement, our approach to women's health in Brampton centres on healthy aging: staying strong, steady and independent for as long as possible. Our team treats joint and spine pain and leads a supervised exercise program for knee and hip osteoarthritis.
Fall Prevention for Women in Brampton
About one in three older adults falls each year, according to World Health Organization figures cited by the Public Health Agency of Canada, and older women have higher rates of fall injuries than men. The same report states that falls are preventable.
We assess spinal and joint movement, strength and balance, then build a plan around exercises you can repeat at home with our kinesiology and chiropractic teams. Dr. Saakshi Khosla, DC, RAc, works mainly with older adults and takes part in community fall prevention outreach.
Osteoporosis and Joint Pain: Age-Related Concerns for Women
Osteoporosis is a major women's health concern in Canada. Osteoporosis Canada reports that at least one in three Canadian women will break a bone because of it. Bone loss speeds up as women approach menopause and causes no symptoms until a bone breaks, so if you are 65 or older, or have broken a bone after 40, ask your family doctor about a bone density test. Chiropractic care does not treat osteoporosis itself, but our chiropractors treat the back pain and stiffness that often come with it, adapting techniques to your bone health.
Osteoarthritis and joint pain
