AMA Recommends Chiropractic Treatment Before Surgery

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

Dr. Green has seen many back pain patients in our Estero, Bonita Springs office who have been in pain for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back issues. Dr. Green has had great success in helping patients heal from and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

Recently, in one study conducted on nearly 2,000 Washington State workers who suffered from a back injury while at work, 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 care, proving that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
