Prevalence of Musculoskeletal Disorders
Older adults commonly experience conditions such as osteoarthritis, spinal degeneration, osteoporosis, and sarcopenia, leading to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and functional impairment.
Role of Chiropractic Care
- Non-invasive interventions like chiropractic adjustments may provide pain relief, improve range of motion, and enhance quality of life
- Due to age-related spinal degeneration, chiropractors modify their techniques using Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy along with low-force techniques and gentler mobilization methods to reduce risks. (Activator Method & Drop-Table Adjustments) These methods provide targeted treatment with minimal force, making them safer for individuals with osteoporosis or frailty.
Chiropractic care incorporates proprioceptive exercises and balance training to reduce fall risks.
