New Study Shows Chiropractic Care May Be a Safer Choice for Treating Neck Pain in Older Adults
A groundbreaking study led by Dr. James Whedon at Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) suggests that chiropractic care may be a safer alternative for treating neck pain in older adults. By analyzing Medicare patients aged 65 to 99, the research found that those who received chiropractic adjustments had a 14% lower risk of adverse events compared to those who underwent traditional medical care. These findings support the growing movement toward non-medication treatments for pain management. Learn more about the study’s implications for healthcare and Medicare policy.
