Neck pain affects 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. A survey of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 33% of the patients are older than 65 years of age. 45.5% experienced neck pain. 31.3% also experienced headache. (1) A recent committee review of the most current significant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to manage neck pain in adults including neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms via chiropractic related that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults used one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to handle neck pain. The chiropractors utilized manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that resulted in 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.
