Prevent Back Surgery with Chiropractic Treatment

Every year, over 500,000 people have back surgery in the US. Although in some cases 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. Ellis is here to make sure that people in Woburn have a natural, non-surgical option for back issues. We've helped many people 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. Luckily, as one medical study has found, chiropractic may actually keep you out of the operating room completely.

Research Shows Chiropractic Therapy Helps Avoid Back Surgery

In this report, 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 recover from back discomfort without surgical procedures.

If you live in the Woburn area, Dr. Ellis can probably help you with your back pain. Give our office a call today at (781) 460-0939 for more information or an appointment.
