Chiropractic is Great for Back Problems Before Medical Procedures
Although some people are still hesitant about chiropractic adjustments, 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. Pittman has seen many back pain patients in our San Angelo office who have been suffering for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back problems. Dr. Pittman has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery
Recently, in one study conducted on about 2,000 Washington State employees 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, demonstrating that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you off the operating table.
