Understanding Back Pain in Older Adults
Common Causes of Pain and Stiffness With Age
Wear and tear changes in the spine and joints, osteoarthritis, reduced muscle strength, lower activity and sometimes osteoporosis all contribute. Pain may come and go and be worse after rest or at the end of the day.
Many of these changes are normal and not dangerous in themselves. Chiropractic care aims to ease stiffness and pain and keep you moving, using low-force techniques and advice on exercise, falls prevention and daily activity.
Clear, personalised care for back pain in older adults
Every consultation for an older patient starts with listening and a careful assessment of your joints, mobility and general health, followed by clear advice on next steps.

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Back Pain in Older Adults?
I take a thorough history, including medication and other conditions, and examine your spine, joints and balance. I choose gentle techniques such as soft tissue work, mobilisation and low-force adjustment, and I avoid anything unsuitable for your bones and joints.
I work with your GP when needed and will refer you if I find signs that need medical attention. The goal is to help you stay independent, active and confident on your feet.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Is chiropractic safe for older people?
Yes, when the techniques are chosen carefully. I use gentle, low-force methods and avoid anything unsuitable for your bones and joints.

It can help to ease pain and stiffness and keep joints moving, though it does not reverse arthritis.

If you have osteoporosis I take extra care and avoid high-force techniques. Please tell me about your condition and medication.

It is sensible to keep your GP informed, although you do not need a referral.

I can advise on exercises and mobility that help balance, and refer you for further assessment if needed.
