Neck pain bothers 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 33% of the patients are older than 65 years old. 45.5% had neck pain. 31.3% also suffered 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 involving neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms via chiropractic reported that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults used another healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to manage neck pain. The chiropractors used manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that resulted in help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though migraine takes more visits).

Non-specific neck pain patients do well with exercise as part of their treatment plan. 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 advanced 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 decreased neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers day in and day out. It did not reduce pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the start of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Largo neck pain is a great goal!
