You're NEVER too old to get adjusted!
Researchers compared spinal adjustments with treatments commonly recommended in clinical guidelines — such as exercise therapy or standard medical care for older adults.
Then they tracked outcomes at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
The takeaway?
Spinal adjustments produced improvements in pain and function comparable to or better than those of therapies typically recommended for chronic low back pain!
SMT provides similar outcomes to recommended interventions for pain and functional status in the older adult with chronic LBP. SMT should be considered a treatment for this patient population.
