Although some people are still uncertain about chiropractic, even the American Medical Association (AMA) suggests that adjustments should be tried prior to surgery--the one option that should be a last resort.
Bridesburg Spine and Injury Clinic has seen many back pain patients in our Philadelphia office who have been suffering for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back pain. Bridesburg Spine and Injury Clinic has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
Recently, in a study carried out on about 2,000 Washington State employees who suffered from a back injury while at work, more than 40% who saw a surgeon first following their injury found themselves having back surgery within three years. That compares to just 1.5% of the individuals who first sought treatment with chiropractic care, demonstrating that this natural approach is extremely effective at keeping you off the operating table.
