Chiropractic Adjustments Before Surgery, Says AMA

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

Linton Spine & Joint Chiropractic Center has seen many back pain patients in our Mt Sterling office who have been in pain for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back pain. Linton Spine & Joint Chiropractic Center has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

Research Proves Chiropractic Adjustments Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

Recently, in one study conducted on nearly 2,000 Washington State employees 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 people who first sought treatment with chiropractic, showing that this non-invasive approach is extremely effective at keeping you off the operating table.
