A recent high-level research review reaffirms that spinal manipulation is safe for older adults suffering with back pain. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic values this confirmation! How did they do this? Researchers reviewed all published articles from 7 years to update current recommendations. Thirty-seven panelists participated in this best practices guidelinesreview and update. Conclusively, they agreed on current statements regarding the best practices for chiropractic care of older adults with back pain. They strengthened the current statement about how safe spinal manipulation is for these patients. The panel inserted two additional recommendations that (1) chiropractors should advise exercise to back pain patients who are older and (2) manipulation and mobilization contribute to general positive outcomes beyond pain reduction. (1) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic concurs! McHenry chiropractic patients frequently look for care that will decrease their back pain. Then, they find McHenry chiropractic care that goes beyond just back pain relief. Chiropractic incorporation of nutrition, exercise, and wellness care encourages them to embrace a healthier way of life.

This chiropractic care begins with back pain relief. The spinal manipulation approach OrthoIllinois Chiropractic employs is called Cox Technic. In research studies about this approach, it is known that radiculopathy (leg pain), chronic moderate/severe back pain and recurrent mild back pain (pain than comes and goes) respond better to chiropractic Cox Technic than to medical conservative care. This study also demonstrated that chronic/recurrent – back pain that returns several times a year – responds better to exercise. (2) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic knows exercise is crucial to manage back pain and prevent future back pain. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic urges all our McHenry chiropractic patients to help themselves with exercise.
