Introduction
Chronic pain in older adults is a serious and debilitating issue, often overlooked and mismanaged by primary care physicians. Chronic pain affects 25-50% of community dwelling older adults, and 45-80% of older adults residing in long-term care facilities. Exercise in geriatric populations is necessary to maintain mobility and quality of life. We analyzed 129 Veterans at the Miami VA Medical Center who were enrolled in an evidence based exercise program. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of an evidence-based exercise program on chronic pain in the older adults of South Florida.
