Chiropractic Can Alleviate Need for Back Surgery

Estero, Bonita Springs Back Pain Treatment without SurgeryEach 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.

Dr. Green is here to make sure that patients in Estero, Bonita Springs have a natural, non-surgical option for back problems. We've helped many people recover from back pain without the need for surgery.

There are plenty of reasons to avoid unnecessary medical procedures: Surgeries often result in a longer recovery time and additional complications, neither of which is an acceptable scenario. Fortunately, as one medical study has found, chiropractic may actually keep you out of the operating room entirely.

Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps Avoid Back Surgery

In this report, 1,885 workers with back injuries were evaluated over a three year period. When the workers first sought treatment with a surgeon, over 42 percent ended up having back surgery. For subjects who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!

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

If you live in the Estero, Bonita Springs area, Dr. Green can probably help you with your back pain. Give our office a call today at (239) 495-1166 for more information or an appointment.
