How to Avoid Surgery for Back Pain wiht Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic Treatment Treats Back Pain Before Surgery

Although some people are still skeptical about chiropractic care, even the American Medical Association (AMA) recommends that adjustments should be tried prior to surgery - the one option that should be a last resort.

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

Research Supports Chiropractic Adjustments Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

Recently, in a study conducted on about 2,000 Washington State workers 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 patients who first sought treatment with chiropractic care, showing that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
