The systematic review of all published articles over a 7 year period updated current recommendations. Thirty-seven panelists contributed to this best practices guidelinesupdate and review. Conclusively, they agreed on current statements regarding the best practices for chiropractic care of back pain in older adults. They strengthened the existing statement about the safety of spinal manipulation for older back pain patients.

This chiropractic care starts with back pain relief. The spinal manipulation approach Chiropractic Solutions employs is known as Cox Technic. In research studies concerning this approach, it’s published 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 recurs several times a year – responds better to exercise.

Chiropractic Solutions encourages all our San Jose chiropractic patients to help themselves with exercise.
