Numerous factors in a person’s life and lifestyle seem to have an effect on whether or not they chose to use the services of a chiropractor to help them through their daily activities. Recently, Chiropractic & Osteopathy, a publication of the Chiropractic & Osteopathic College of Australasia presented some interesting findings.
The study in particular took a look at the Chiropractic visitation habits of older Americans. The study researchers interviewed some 4,000 seniors of age 70 and over to find out how frequently they visited chiropractors. Interview results were also correlated to Medicare records.
It was discovered that 4.6 percent of Americans 70 years of age and over take advantage of Chiropractic services. These people most likely suffered pain and had a means of self transportation to get to the chiropractor’s office. These findings were reported by Dr. Fredric Wolinsky and Dr. Gary Rosenthal of the Center for Research in the Implementation of Innovative Strategies in Practice. It was conducted at the Iowa City VA Medical Center.
Additionally, people who see a chiropractor for assistance are very likely to continue with Chiropractic services. The report showed that over a 4 year period that about 30 percent of those seniors who did have Chiropractic visits continued to visit their chiropractor in three of those four years. From this, researchers concluded that these seniors made Chiropractic a regular part of their healthcare regimen. It was discovered that the volume of Chiropractic visits was lower for those who lived alone, had lower incomes and poorer cognitive abilities. The volume of visits was higher for those who were overweight and for those with lower body difficulties.
Persons with arthritis pain were also frequent Chiropractic patients. One surprising conclusion of the study was that Chiropractic use among older Americans is less frequent than has been reported in other sources for the United States as a whole, according to the researchers. However, usage remains frequent for older adults experiencing pain who have sufficient finances, available transportation and a geographic location in proximity to a chiropractor.

A study published in Spine research journal compared Chiropractic, Acupuncture and medication for the treatment of chronic spinal pain that had persisted for longer than three months and found the best results came from Chiropractic care.
A clinical trial was done at an Australian Public Hospital from February, 1999 to October, 2001. In this study 115 patients were enrolled at the Multi-Disciplinary Spinal Pain Unit and were treated with either Chiropractic spinal adjustments, needle Acupuncture or medication. The patients were given a health survey questionnaire and a number of standard diagnostic tests at the beginning of the clinical trial and again at two weeks, five weeks, and nine weeks into the treatment.
The clinical trial found that while all three showed some improvement in the health survey questionnaire, Chiropractic achieved the best overall improvements in almost all of the objective tests, as well as the highest percentage of patients becoming pain free – 27.3%.
Acupuncture was found to be twice as effective as medication and got a better result than Chiropractic on one of the diagnostic tests.
Medication was found to be the least effective of the three by any standard of the study.
The study was “Chronic Spinal Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Medication, Acupuncture, and Spinal Manipulation” by Lynton G. F. Giles, DC, Ph.D, and Reinhold Muller, PhD. Published in Spine. Volume 28, Number 14, 1490-1501 (2003).
