Specialized, Expert Care for the Elderly
We provide coordinated care that combines pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to promote the well-being of older adults. The approach adopted would depend on the patient’s medical history and the nature and severity of the pain.
- Medication: Pain medications provided may include opioids, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), analgesics, nerve blocks and epidural steroid injections.
- Chiropractic treatment: Spinal cord manipulation for chronic back pain is effective to restore mobility of the joints. Back pain is treated using advanced modalities such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), ultrasound and traction.
- Surgery: Surgery is recommended for patients whose pain cannot be relieved with non-surgical methods. The longer a nerve is compressed, the greater the chances for nerve damage and longer recovery time. Procedures such as laminectomy and microdiscectomy which relieve the pressure on compressed nerve roots can significantly reduce pain.
- Physical therapy: Physical therapy addresses the impact of pain on function rather than focusing on the pain itself. Our expert physical therapists use a combination of methods such as electrotherapy, heat/cold therapy, massage and manipulation, applied relaxation techniques and exercises to help elderly patients manage back pain.
- Slip/fall prevention programs featuring Biodex: Our elderly fall prevention program featuring Biodex balance technology is aimed at preventing falls in older adults. Our six-week program, managed by geriatric care specialists, pain management physicians and orthopedists, is tailored to improve balance, strength and overall mobility.
