Chiropractic Can Help Prevent Surgery for Back Pain

Fortunately, as one study has found, chiropractic adjustments may actually keep you out of the operating room entirely.

Research Shows Chiropractic Care Helps Avoid Back Surgery

In this report, 1,885 workers with back injuries were assessed over a three year period. When the workers first sought care 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 indicate that chiropractic care can help you heal from back pain without surgical procedures.
