Chiropractic Treatment Before Surgery, Says AMA

Although some people are still hesitant 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.

ChiroWerx has seen many back pain patients in our Charlotte, NC office who have been hurting for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back issues. ChiroWerx has had great success in helping patients get relief and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

Research Proves Chiropractic Adjustments Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

For example, in one study conducted on about 2,000 Washington State employees who suffered from a back injury while at work, more than 40% 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, showing that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
