Approaches to Chiropractic Care in Aging Patients

The goal of this observational study is to understand how chiropractors adjust their therapeutic approaches based on their beliefs, the patient's age, and patient-specific characteristics, with a particular focus on aging patients. The study population includes licensed chiropractors in Quebec treating adult and aging patients in real clinical settings. Patients involved are receiving their usual care and are not the primary focus of the study. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How do chiropractors modify their treatment strategies for aging patients? * What contextual and clinical factors influence these therapeutic decisions? Researchers will observe chiropractors during routine care to assess treatment characteristics. To do this, participants will: * Use a sensor to measure the force applied during specific manual treatments. * Complete brief questionnaires after each treatment to report contextual details. * Allow for the presence of a researcher during treatment delivery for observational purposes. Patients will: * Fill out a short pre-treatment questionnaire. * Receive their usual care with no interference in the treatment process. * Be informed in advance and free to decline participation at any point. This study aims to provide a detailed picture of current chiropractic practices in Quebec related to the care of aging patients, while minimizing disruption to clinical routines.
