Is chiropractic safe for elderly?
Chiropractic care is a widely utilized form of healthcare that emphasizes the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. The question of safety, especially for elderly individuals, is essential when considering any therapeutic intervention. For seniors, including your 67-year-old mother, chiropractic care can offer potential benefits, such as relief from chronic pain, increased mobility, and improved balance. Studies have shown that chiropractic interventions can be safe for older adults. A study by Holt et al. (2013) in the "Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics" found that spinal manipulative therapy in senior citizens was not associated with a significantly increased risk of adverse events compared to younger populations. However, like all medical interventions, there are risks involved. It's important to select a chiropractor experienced in treating older adults, as they can modify techniques and pressure to cater to the specific needs of the elderly, given the age-related changes in the spine.
