A recent high-level research review restates that spinal manipulation is a safe way to relieve back pain in older adults. Soft Health and Healing Clinic values this confirmation! How did they do this? 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 reached agreement on current statements about 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 additional recommendations that (1) chiropractors should suggest exercise to back pain patients who are older and (2) manipulation and mobilization do more than just reduce pain; they improve overall outcomes of care. (1) Soft Health and Healing Clinic concurs! Brooks chiropractic patients frequently seek care that will decrease their back pain.

This chiropractic care starts with back pain relief. The spinal manipulation approach Soft Health and Healing Clinic employs is known as Cox Technic. From the research studies regarding 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 – responds better to exercise. (2) Soft Health and Healing Clinic recognizes that exercise is important to control back pain and prevent future back pain. Soft Health and Healing Clinic urges all our Brooks chiropractic patients to exercise.
