Although some people are still hesitant about chiropractic care, even the American Medical Association (AMA) recommends that adjustments should be tried prior to surgery - the one option that should be a last resort.
Chanatry Chiropractic has seen many back pain patients in our Jacksonville office who have been hurting for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back discomfort. Chanatry Chiropractic has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
Recently, in a study conducted on nearly 2,000 Washington State employees who suffered from a back injury while on the job, 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, showing that this natural approach is extremely effective at keeping you off the operating table.
There are options to risky medical procedures. Chiropractic Therapy is a proven effective and safe way to improve the function of your spine, which is the root cause of back pain. Chanatry Chiropractic has helped many patients in Jacksonville get relief. Give our office a call today at (904) 743-6700 for an appointment.
