Neck pain affects 20% of people over 70 years of age. A survey of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 33% of the patients are over 65 years of age. 45.5% experienced neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A recent committee analysis of the most current significant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to handle neck pain in adults involving neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms via chiropractic related 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 gave rise to help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though this 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 in addition to 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 day in and day out. It did not decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Pensacola neck pain is a great goal!
