Chiropractic Therapy Before Surgery, Says AMA

Chiropractic Treatment Treats Back Pain Before Medical Procedures

Although some people are still hesitant about chiropractic therapy, 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. Ahmed has seen many back pain patients in our Roselle office who have been in pain for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back issues. Dr. Ahmed has had great success in helping patients heal from and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

For example, in a study carried out on about 2,000 Washington State workers 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 individuals who first sought treatment with chiropractic, proving that this non-invasive approach is very effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
