AMA Recommends Chiropractic Therapy Before Surgery

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

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

Research Supports Chiropractic Therapy Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

Recently, in a study carried out on almost 2,000 Washington State employees who suffered from a back injury while at work, more than 42% 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 non-invasive approach is very effective at keeping you off the operating table.
