Neck pain affects 20% of people over 70 years of age. A survey of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 1/3 of their patients are over 65 years of age. 45.5% experienced neck pain. 31.3% also experienced headache. (1) A recent committee review of the latest significant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to handle 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 visited another healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to handle neck pain. The chiropractors utilized 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 treatments).

Such patients were supervised in 12 exercise sessions 3 times a week with either traditional exercises vs traditional exercises in addition to sensorimotor training. Pain, intensity, muscle endurance and disability improved in both. The combined group significantly improved in joint position sense and other parameters like endurance, dynamic balance and walking speed. (4) Increasing the number of steps walked a day over a 6-month period reduced neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers day in and day out.
