American Chiropractic Association Recommends Tai Chi to 0steoporosis

Martial Arts Professional February 2000

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA - The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) recently recommended tai chi as a beneficial strength training exercise system for those suffering from osteoporosis. The ACA said that even those with severe osteoporosis who have suffered fractures would benefit from tai chi exercise.

"Osteoporosis is a chronic, progressive condition that steals bone from the body, leading to fractures of the hip, spine and wrist" said ACA national spokesperson, Dr. Jerome McAndrews. "Older people can suffer disability and even death from osteoporosis related fractures."

The ACA says that an estimated 20 million American women suffer from osteoporosis and 80 % of them don't even know it. According to the association, one in two women and one in eight men will suffer' from an osteoporosis related fracture in his or her lifetime.
