The United States Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging (AoA) reports that the number of people who are 65 years old or older will more than double between the years 2000 and 2030. This will increase their population from just over 12 percent to 19 percent, or just over 72 million in the year 2030, which means that you’re likely to see more individuals in this age range at your chiropractic office due not only to their growth in the U.S. in general, but also because this generation tends to experience some common geriatric issues.1
