Answer
Hello Sarah,


    Hey, you are never to old!  The most benefit may come from Chiropractic care.  You want to find a doctor who specializes in sports injury that performs myofascial therapy (works on the muscles,tendons,etc).  Adjusting the spine or joints that are limited, working on the muscles, and making sure you have enough calcium and magnesium in your diet should make a dramatic difference.  Also doctor's of Chiropractic will perform an intensive exam to determine what the cause may be...nerve impingement, disc, etc.

Let me know how everything goes or if you have more questions.
