Although some people are still skeptical about chiropractic therapy, 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.
The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic has seen many back pain patients in our Amite City office who have been hurting for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back pain. The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
Recently, in one study conducted on almost 2,000 Washington State workers 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, showing that this non-invasive approach is very effective at keeping you off the operating table.
There are alternatives to risky medical procedures. Chiropractic Therapy is a proven effective and safe way to improve the function of your spine, which is the root cause of back pain. The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic has helped many patients in Amite City heal. Give our office a call today at (985) 247-2898 for an appointment.
