AMA Recommends Chiropractic Care Before Surgery

Although some people are still uncertain about chiropractic adjustments, 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.

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

Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

For example, in a study conducted on nearly 2,000 Washington State employees 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 non-invasive approach is extremely effective at keeping you off the operating table.
