Neck pain bothers 20% of people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 1/3 of the patients are over 65 years old. 45.5% experienced neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A recent committee analysis of the most current relevant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to manage neck pain in adults including 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 handle neck pain. The chiropractors administered 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 plus 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 time decreased neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers all day. It did not decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Minster neck pain is a great goal!
