The Study of Chiropractic Care on Improving the Posture of Senior Citizens
Ono Shizuko,Kuno Naoko,SoonJeong Jeong,Kondo Emi 보완대체의학연구소 2011 Research Journal of Complementary and Alternative Vol.- No.2
The average life expectancy in Japan has increased. Senior citizens with excessive curvature in the thoracic spine (kyphosis) and forward head posture have decreased their ability to maintain their balance and this can be one of the causes of falling down by accidents. In many cases, postures and health conditions including quality of life of senior citizens have remarkably improved through daily chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic care can be a good model to show how preventive medicine can benefit senior citizens. This study will show the postures of elderly people of 60 years or more improved with chiropractic treatments and care. Measurements of head tilt and knee tilt on lateral views were documented for comparisons. The results showed an overall increase in height of a patient due to a decrease of head and knee tilt.
