Noblesville Prevent Back Surgery with Chiropractic Therapy

Every year, over 500,000 people have back surgery in the US. Although sometimes it's necessary to have surgery for back problems, the reality is that if you can avoid this type of invasive procedure, you're often better off.

Dr. Dahlager is here to make sure that patients in Noblesville have a healthy, non-surgical option for back issues. We've helped many patients heal from back pain without the need for surgery.

There are plenty of reasons to avoid unnecessary medical procedures: Surgeries often result in a longer recovery time and additional complications, neither of which is a desirable scenario. Fortunately, as one medical study has found, chiropractic care may actually keep you out of the operating room completely.

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Helps Avoid Back Surgery

In this study, 1,885 workers with back injuries were evaluated over a three year period. When the workers first sought treatment with a surgeon, over 42 percent wound up having surgery for their pain. For patients who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!

These findings demonstrate that chiropractic care can help you get relief from back discomfort without surgery.

If you live in the Noblesville area, Dr. Dahlager can probably help you with your back pain. Give our office a call today at (317) 214-7218 for more information or an appointment.
