Avoid Back Surgery with Chiropractic Care

Depew Chiropractic Adjustments Can Alleviate Need for Back Surgery

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

Dr. Palmer is here to make sure that patients in Depew 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 many reasons to avoid unnecessary medical treatments: Surgeries often result in a longer recovery time and complications, neither of which is an acceptable scenario. Fortunately, as one medical study has found, chiropractic care may actually keep you off the surgeon's table altogether.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps Avoid Back Surgery

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

These findings suggest that chiropractic care can help you get relief from back problems without surgery.
