May 16, 2017

Older back pain patients find relief with combined chiropractic care: spinal manipulation and mobilization plus exercise. That’s what new best practices guidelines recommend. Shocked? Not likely! Your Toronto chiropractor treats your spine, and you take care of your spine! Together, your Toronto chiropractor and you the Toronto back pain sufferer form a great spine care team. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is your local Toronto chiropractic care center where Toronto back pain patients meet their Toronto chiropractor to form a pain relieving treatment plan as well as a plan to prevent future back pain.

A recent high-level research review reiterates that spinal manipulation is safe for older adults suffering with back pain. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre appreciates this verification! How did they do this? Researchers reviewed all published articles from 7 years to update current recommendations. Thirty-seven panelists participated in this best practices guidelinesupdate and review. Conclusively, they agreed on current statements regarding the best practices for chiropractic care of older adults with back pain. They reinforced the present statement about the safety of spinal manipulation for these patients. The panel inserted two supplementary recommendations that (1) chiropractors should advise exercise to these older adult back pain patients and (2) manipulation and mobilization do more than just reduce pain; they improve overall outcomes of care. (1) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre concurs! Toronto chiropractic patients often look for care to get rid of their back pain. Then, they find Toronto chiropractic care that does more than just back pain relief. Chiropractic incorporation of nutrition, exercise, and wellness care encourages them to welcome a healthier approach to life.

This chiropractic care begins with back pain relief. The spinal manipulation method Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre uses is called Cox Technic. In research studies about this approach, it’s 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 showed that chronic/recurrent – back pain that returns several times a year – reacts better to exercise. (2) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre recognizes that exercise is critical to manage back pain and prevent future back pain. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre urges all our Toronto chiropractic patients to help themselves with exercise.
