A new high-level research review reaffirms that spinal manipulation is a safe way to relieve back pain in older adults. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation values this confirmation! How did they do this? The systematic review of all published articles over a 7 year period updated current recommendations. Thirty-seven panelists participated in this best practices guidelinesreview and update. In the end, they approved current statements regarding the best practices for chiropractic care of back pain in older adults. They reinforced the existing statement about the safety of spinal manipulation for older back pain patients. The panel inserted two supplementary notes of advice that (1) chiropractors should advise exercise to these older adult back pain patients and (2) manipulation and mobilization do more than just reduce pain; they improve overall outcomes of care.

This chiropractic care starts with back pain relief. The spinal manipulation approach Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation applies is known as Cox Technic. In research studies concerning 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 more favorably to chiropractic Cox Technic than to medical conservative care. This study also showed that chronic/recurrent – back pain that returns several times a year – responds better to exercise. (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows exercise is critical to manage back pain and prevent future back pain. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation encourages all our Carrolltown chiropractic patients to exercise.
