Chiropractic Treatment Treats Back Pain Before Surgery

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

Dr. Dahlager has seen many back pain patients in our Noblesville office who have been suffering for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back pain. Dr. Dahlager has had great success in helping patients heal from and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

Research Supports Chiropractic Therapy Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

For example, in one study carried out on about 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 individuals who first sought treatment with chiropractic, proving that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
