Chiropractic Care Can Help Prevent Surgery for Back Pain

Prescott Chiropractic Adjustments Can Help Prevent Surgery for Back Pain

Each year, over 500,000 people have back surgery in the US. Although sometimes it's necessary to have back surgery, the fact is that if you can prevent this type of invasive procedure, you're often better off.

Weary Chiropractic Clinic is here to make sure that people in Prescott have a healthy, non-surgical option for back pain. We've helped many people get relief from back pain without the need for surgery.

There are countless reasons to avoid unnecessary medical procedures: Surgeries often result in a longer recuperation time and complications, neither of which is a desirable scenario. Thankfully, as one study has found, chiropractic may actually keep you off the surgeon's table completely.

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Helps Prevent Back Surgery

In this report, 1,885 workers with back injuries were assessed 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 those who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!

These findings show that chiropractic care can help you recover from back discomfort without surgical procedures.

If you live in the Prescott area, Weary Chiropractic Clinic can probably help you with your back issues. Give our office a call today at (928) 778-2227 for more information or an appointment.
