Musculoskeletal Strength: Declining musculoskeletal strength significantly increases the vulnerability of the elderly to falls. Weakening of the lower and upper extremities and trunk muscles has been associated with an elevated likelihood of experiencing falls. Multimodal techniques employed in chiropractic care can target and enhance musculoskeletal strength by concentrating on specific muscle groups and optimizing overall effectiveness. However, further investigation is required to ascertain how much chiropractic care improves musculoskeletal strength, particularly among older adults.

Pain: Chronic pain is prevalent among older adults and can contribute to fall risks. Multimodal chiropractic care, including spinal manipulation and myofascial therapies, may alleviate pain and improve overall well-being. Nevertheless, additional exploration is necessary to comprehend the precise influence of chiropractic interventions on diminishing pain and its subsequent implications for preventing falls.

Sensorimotor Control: Impaired sensorimotor control, including reduced proprioception and vestibular function, can substantially disrupt balance and elevate the chances of falling. Chiropractic care interventions, encompassing spinal manipulation, therapeutic exercises, and mind-body techniques, have the potential to impact these factors. Nonetheless, further investigation is warranted to establish the direct effects of chiropractic care on proprioception and vestibular function and their subsequent influence on fall prevention.

Polypharmacy: The prevalence of polypharmacy, using multiple medications, is high among older individuals and can contribute to an elevated susceptibility to falls. While chiropractors do not have the authority to prescribe medications, they can provide guidance on medication management and engage in collaborative efforts with other healthcare practitioners to optimize the well-being of patients. Further research is needed to explore the collaborative efforts between chiropractors and other healthcare providers to address polypharmacy and its impact on fall prevention.

Falls-related Education: Education plays a crucial role in prevention by increasing awareness, promoting behavioral changes, and reducing the fear of falling. Chiropractors can provide falls-related education as part of their multimodal care approach. However, the specific impact of chiropractic education on fall prevention needs to be studied further.
