Dementia : Enhancing Mental as well as Physical Health Through PhysioChiro Support.

What is Dementia?

Dementia is a set of signs that is characterized by abnormal brain work which in turn affects social abilities, memory as well as thinking. It is more connected with the elderly, however it should be noted that it is not a normal occurrence when growing old. The most prevailing type of dementia is what is defined as Alzheimer’s Disease, Other examples include vascular, Lewy body and frontotemporal dementia.

Despite being one of the types of neurodegenerative conditions, dementia does affect overall physical health along with mobility. However, I have PhysioChiro, which is dedicated to providing physiotherapy and chiropractic care in order to help those suffering from dementia. Their core objective is to restore the strength, mobility and independence of a person.
