Are there any studies showing the benefits of chiropractic care in the aging?
A recent study evaluated the health status of 414 elderly individuals (average age 80 years) and compared those individuals under chiropractic care with those not under chiropractic care.
The researchers found a number of significant findings, which included:
87% of those who used chiropractic care rated their health as good or excellent compared with only 68% in the non-chiropractic group.
13% of those who used chiropractic care related their health as fair or poor compared with 32% in the non-chiropractic group.
44% of those who used chiropractic care reported having arthritis compared with 66% in the non-chiropractic group
Those who used chiropractic care were more likely to do strenuous levels of exercise.
A 3 year follow-up shows that only 26% of those who used chiropractic care were hospitalized compared with 48% of those in the non-chiropractic group.
