Chiropractic Therapy Can Help Prevent Surgery for Back Pain

Roselle Avoid Back Surgery with Chiropractic Adjustments

The latest statistics show that there are over 500,000 spinal surgeries each year in the US. Although in some cases it's necessary to have back surgery, the reality is that if you can prevent this type of invasive procedure, you're often better off.

Dr. Ahmed is here to make sure that people in Roselle have a healthy, non-surgical option for back pain. We've helped many people get relief from back pain without the need for surgery.

There are countless reasons to avoid unnecessary medical treatments: Surgeries often result in a longer recovery time and additional complications, neither of which is a desirable scenario. Thankfully, as one study has found, chiropractic may actually keep you off the surgeon's table altogether.

Research Supports Chiropractic Therapy Helps Avoid Back Surgery

In this report, about 1,900 workers with back injuries were examined over a three year period. When the workers first sought treatment with a surgeon, over 42 percent ended up having surgery for their pain. For patients who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!

These findings imply that chiropractic care can help you get relief from back issues without surgical procedures.
