An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 33% of their patients are older than 65 years of age. 45.5% experienced neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A new committee analysis of the most current relevant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to handle neck pain in adults involving neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms via chiropractic stated that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults visited one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to manage neck pain. The chiropractors administered manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that gave rise to help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though this takes more visits).

Pain, intensity, muscle endurance and disability improved in both. The combined group significantly advanced in joint position sense and other parameters like endurance, dynamic balance and walking speed.
