Active Surveillance Reporting to Identify Adverse Events Following Chiropractic Care in Older Adults

Sponsor: Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College

Summary

In Canada, almost 19% of chiropractic patients are aged over 65 years. Although most of patients ≥65 years seek care for musculoskeletal conditions (such as back, neck and lower limb pain), there is inadequate prospective data on the safety of chiropractic care for these patients and the frequency of potential associated adverse events remains unknown. Our study will investigate changes in symptoms reported by older adults receiving chiropractic care, with a focus on safety.
