Can Chiropractic Care Help The Elderly With Back Pain?

Low back pain is the leading disability in the world. It not only hampers the individual physically but also has a serious socioeconomic effect to the entire world.

This affects the elderly more than most. Dealing with low back issues has come at a financial cost of about 10 billion dollars. The elderly also have a greater possibility of poor outcomes and chronic issues.

Can chiropractic care help? This is a question that has been addressed by researchers. It was shown that spinal adjustments have been proven to increase function and decrease pain. This goes for chronic patients as well.

It was also reported that hardly anyone in the study had any adverse effects from chiropractic treatment. This supports the effectiveness of chiropractic care on older patients. There is also a dynamic reduction in the cost of treating low back pain when one chooses a chiropractor. It is literally thousands of dollars to get certain injections from a medical office. This often has little to no effect for the patients. Poorer outcomes come from medical treatment.

Dr. William Morgan of Morgan Chiropractic in Stuart Florida has been treating older patients for the past 30 years with great effectiveness. All patients are unique. Some have needed medical intervention, but most have resolved their problem with conservative chiropractic care.
