Results

Results: Four-hundred surveys were distributed and fifty-three were returned completed yielding a response rate of 13.3%. Demographically, patients were most likely to be 55-64 years of age (49.1%), female (65.4%), white (75.0%), a college graduate (49.1%), living with others (81.1%), never been a smoker (57.7%), taking 1-3 medications (47.2%), referred from a friend/family member (48.1%), have unimpaired walking (61.5%), no problems with self-care (98.1%), moderate pain (84.6%), not anxious (73.1%), they drove themselves to doctor appointments (92.3%), exercised 1-3 days a week (50.9%), reported back pain (78.9%), stated their health status was good overall (54.7%), received spinal/joint manipulation from their doctor (96.2%), and reported several non-musculoskeletal health conditions.
Conclusions: Greater than 75% of older chiropractic patients responded that they were white, living with others, reported no problems with self-care, had moderate pain, drove themselves to doctor appointments, reported back pain, and received spinal manipulation.
