How to Avoid Surgery for Back Pain wiht Chiropractic Therapy

Although some people are still skeptical about chiropractic therapy, 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. Cohen has seen many back pain patients in our Holtsville office who have been in pain for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back problems. Dr. Cohen has had great success in helping patients get relief and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

For example, in one study conducted on almost 2,000 Washington State employees who suffered from a back injury while at work, 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 individuals who first sought treatment with chiropractic, proving that this non-invasive approach is extremely effective at keeping you off the operating table.
