How to Avoid Surgery for Back Pain wiht Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic Relieves Back Pain Before Surgery

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

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

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

Recently, in a study carried out 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 people who first sought treatment with chiropractic, demonstrating that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you off the operating table.
