AMA Recommends Chiropractic Therapy Before Surgery

Chiropractic is Great for Back Issues Before Medical Procedures

Although some people are still uncertain about chiropractic care, 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. Ellis has seen many back pain patients in our Woburn office who have been suffering for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back pain. Dr. Ellis has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

Research Supports Chiropractic Therapy Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

Recently, in a study conducted on almost 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 care, demonstrating that this non-invasive approach is extremely effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
