Chiropractic Therapy Before Surgery, Says AMA

Although some people are still skeptical about chiropractic therapy, even the American Medical Association (AMA) recommends that adjustments should be tried prior to surgery - the one option that should be a last resort.

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

For example, in one study carried out on almost 2,000 Washington State workers 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 patients who first sought treatment with chiropractic, demonstrating that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
