Surprising how some of these journal studies showing benefit of chiropractic care can have such negative titles. Don't hear it as often as in the past, but still have family doctors and medical specialists sometimes warning patients about chiropractic care in spite of the fact that our treatment methods are significantly safer than their methods.
Here is a new study from the prestigious Spine Journal using the Medicare database for a whole year showing that patients aged 66-99 with an office visit risk for a neuromusculoskeletal problem, risk of injury to the head, neck or trunk within 7 days was 76% lower among subjects with a chiropractic office visit as compared to those who saw a primary care physician!
So this is evidence that we are a significantly safer treatment for older patients.
