Avoid Back Surgery with Chiropractic Care

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.

Buffalo Family Chiropractic Wellness, P. C. is here to make sure that patients in Buffalo have a natural, non-surgical option for back pain. We've helped many patients heal from back pain without the need for surgery.

There are countless reasons to avoid unnecessary medical treatments: Surgeries often result in a longer recuperation time and additional complications, neither of which is a desirable scenario. Thankfully, as one medical study has found, chiropractic adjustments may actually keep you out of the operating room completely.

Research Shows Chiropractic Therapy Helps Prevent Back Surgery

In this study, about 1,900 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 back surgery. For those who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!

These findings indicate that chiropractic care can help you recover from back pain without surgical procedures.
