Inclusion Criteria:
* 65+ years of age
* Chronic neck, thoracic, and/or low back pain at least 5 days a week for at least 3 consecutive months
* Neck, thoracic, and/or low back pain averaged over past week of 3 or more on numerical rating scale ranging from 0 to 10, with 10 described as 'worst pain imaginable'
* Oswestry Disability Index score of 10% or greater
* Access to and ability to use a smartphone, tablet, or computer and broadband internet
* Access to reliable mode of transportation for study visits and chiropractic treatments
* Agreeable to participate in all study procedures
* Fluent in English
Exclusion Criteria:
* Currently, or having received chiropractic care in past 12 months (for any spine pain condition)
* Any disability precluding safe exercise practice
* Any prior spinal surgery within previous year
* Persons currently involved in a disability/accident claim
* Currently living in a nursing home and/or enrolled in hospice
* Need for additional diagnostic imaging at the eligibility exam
* Signs/symptoms of major systemic illness that may impair the participant's ability to effectively attend intervention sessions, or present risk factors to the care protocol: Participants with signs or symptoms suggesting the need for evaluation and/or management by other providers (e.g., Parkinson's disease, cancer, psychosis, substance use addiction)
* Non-neuromusculoskeletal source: Participants with neck or back pain suspected or confirmed non-neuromusculoskeletal source (e.g., vasculitis, referred pain of cardiopulmonary origin, neoplasm, or infection)
* Inflammatory arthritis: Participants suspected or confirmed diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis or other systemic inflammatory arthritis condition
* Health conditions influencing compliance: Participants with health conditions that lead to difficulty complying with study protocol, such as renal dialysis, untreated psychiatric symptoms, or cognitive impairment
* Vascular risk: Participants at increased risk for adverse cerebrovascular events are ineligible. Examples include a history of stroke, carotid artery dissection, or vertebral artery dissection, and those scheduled for endarterectomy procedures due to arterial stenosis. The presence of carotid artery bruit is exclusionary due to a presumed increased vascular risk and the likely need for referral and diagnostic testing
* Neurological disorder: Participants exhibiting a clinical picture of serious or potentially serious neurological disorders are ineligible. Examples include:
* Progressive neurologic deficit evidenced by signs/symptoms such as paralysis, progressive muscle weakness, poor coordination, loss of sensation, and loss of bladder or bowel function
* Suspected or confirmed myelopathy or radiculopathy
* Space occupying lesions, within or adjacent to the spinal canal, including tumors (benign or malignant)
* Neurological deficit (loss of sensation, motor strength, and/or deep tendon reflexes) present for less than 12 months
* Note: The presence of a cervical disc herniation/protrusion is not exclusionary without signs of neurological deficit.
* Note: Stable neurological deficit (present for more than 12 months without change) is not exclusionary
* Pathological hypermobility: Participants with suspected or confirmed diagnosis of a disorder known to cause spinal joint hypermobility including congenital conditions (Marfan Syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and Osteogenesis imperfecta) and degenerative or traumatic instability are ineligible. Potential participants will be screened using Beighton criteria, health history, and (when available) diagnostic imaging review.
* Contraindication: Participants with confirmed or suspected contraindication to care not otherwise described (e.g., cervical fracture) are ineligible. This criterion does not include factors representing relative contraindications to specific procedures such as the presence of osteoporosis, for which chiropractic care can be safely adapted.
* Recent interventional pain management: defined as procedures such as corticosteroid injection, trigger point injection, and radiofrequency ablation to the cervical or lumbar region within the past 4 weeks and/or scheduled for interventional pain management procedures within the study timeframe.
* Hearing or visual impairment affecting participation in a virtual program
