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.
North Road Chiropractic has seen many back pain patients in our Oakleigh office who have been hurting for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back pain. North Road Chiropractic has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
For example, in one study conducted on about 2,000 Washington State employees who suffered from a back injury while on the job, 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 individuals who first sought treatment with chiropractic care, proving that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
There are alternatives to risky medical procedures. Chiropractic is a proven effective and safe way to improve the function of your spine, which is the root cause of back pain. North Road Chiropractic has helped many patients in Oakleigh recover. Give our office a call today at (03) 9579 2699 for an appointment.
