“…ADL assessments are used to evaluate the level of patient disability and guide treatment. The objectives of the rehabilitation process include stabilizing the primary order, preventing secondary disabilities, decreasing pain perception using a multidisciplinary approach, treating deficits in function, and promoting overall adaption to the disability and life demands (Brummel–Smith, 1997). The beneficial effects of spinal manipulative therapy and acupuncture on the attenuation of pain sensation have been established by recent studies; however, their effects in elderly populations remain to be elucidated (Bialosky, Bishop, Robinson, Zeppieri, & George, 2009; Lang, Stoer, Schober, Audette, & Irnich, 2010).…”

Persistent pain is prevalent in the elderly population, although it is not an inevitable part of aging. It is important to understand how to manage pain effectively in old age, particularly because an increasing number of individuals are becoming older, or living longer. Several problems, less common in younger adults, may complicate the treatment of pain. An accurate pain assessment is required for the most efficient strategy of pain treatment. Challenges to an effective pain assessment include: pain underreporting by patients, atypical manifestations of pain in elderly, age-associated pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic changes to specific drugs, other general age-related changes, and misconceptions about tolerance or addiction to opioids. However, physicians are able to provide geriatric patients with appropriate analgesia by using comprehensive assessment involving a multidisciplinary approach, and the appropriate use of various treatment modalities
