How to Avoid Surgery for Back Pain with Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is Great for Back Discomfort Before Surgery

Although some people are still uncertain about chiropractic treatment, even the American Medical Association (AMA) suggests that adjustments should be tried prior to surgical treatment - the one option that should be a last resort.

Dr. Palmer has seen many back pain patients in our Depew office who have been suffering for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back problems. Dr. Palmer has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

Recently, in a study carried out on almost 2,000 Washington State employees who suffered from a back injury while on the job, more than 42% who saw a surgeon first following their injury found themselves having back surgery within three years. That compares to just 1.5% of the people who first sought treatment with chiropractic, proving that this natural approach is extremely effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
