How to Avoid Surgery for Back Pain wiht Chiropractic Therapy

Although some people are still skeptical about chiropractic treatment, even the American Medical Association (AMA) recommends that adjustments should be tried prior to surgical treatment - the one option that should be a last resort.

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

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

Recently, in a study carried out on almost 2,000 Washington State workers 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, showing that this natural approach is extremely effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
