Minster Exercise and Spinal Manipulation Recommended for Older Adult Back Pain

May 16, 2017

Geriatric back pain patients benefit from combined chiropractic care: spinal manipulation and mobilization plus exercise. That is what new best practices guidelines recommend. Surprised? Of course not! Your Minster chiropractor takes care of your spine, and you treat your spine! Together, your Minster chiropractor and you the Minster back pain sufferer create a great spine care team. Minster Chiropractic Center is your local Minster chiropractic care center where Minster back pain patients meet their Minster chiropractor to design a treatment plan to relieve pain as well as a plan to prevent future back pain.

A new high-level research review reiterates that spinal manipulation is safe for older adults suffering with back pain. Minster Chiropractic Center values this verification! How did they do this? Researchers reviewed all published articles from 7 years to update current recommendations. Thirty-seven panelists contributed to this best practices guidelinesreview and update. In the end, they approved current statements about 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 added two supplementary notes of advice 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) Minster Chiropractic Center concurs! Minster chiropractic patients often look for care that will reduce their back pain. Then, they find Minster chiropractic care that goes beyond just back pain relief. Chiropractic incorporation of nutrition, exercise, and wellness care encourages them to embrace a healthier approach to life.

This chiropractic care begins with back pain relief. The spinal manipulation approach Minster Chiropractic Center applies is called 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 demonstrated that chronic/recurrent – back pain that returns several times a year – reacts better to exercise. (2) Minster Chiropractic Center knows exercise is important to manage back pain and prevent future back pain. Minster Chiropractic Center urges all our Minster chiropractic patients to exercise.

Schedule your Minster chiropractic appointment with Minster Chiropractic Center to discuss Minster back pain relief and prevention in older adults with Minster chiropractic care and suitable Minster exercise. Your Minster chiropractor and you will work together as well as recommended spinal manipulation and exercise do to safely and successfully ease low back pain.
