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 older than 65 years of age. 45.5% suffered with neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A new committee analysis of the latest relevant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to handle neck pain in adults including neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms via chiropractic stated that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults used one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to handle neck pain. The chiropractors utilized manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that resulted in help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though this takes more visits).

Non-specific neck pain patients do well with exercise as a component 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 advanced in joint position sense and other parameters like endurance, dynamic balance and walking speed. (4) Adding to the daily walking step count over a 6-month period reduced neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers all day. It didn’t decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the start of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of La Grande neck pain is a great goal!
