The latest numbers show that there are over 500,000 spinal surgeries annually in the US. Although sometimes it's necessary to have back surgery, the fact is that if you can prevent this type of invasive procedure, you're often better off.
Montero Chiropractic Clinic is here to make sure that patients in Yuma have a natural, non-surgical option for back issues. We've helped many patients heal from back pain without the need for surgery.
There are countless reasons to avoid unnecessary medical treatments: Surgeries often result in a longer recuperation time and additional complications, neither of which is an acceptable scenario. Fortunately, as one medical study has found, chiropractic care may actually keep you off the surgeon's table entirely.
In this paper, about 1,900 workers with back injuries were evaluated over a three year period. When the workers first sought care with a surgeon, over 42 percent wound up having surgery for their pain. For subjects who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!
These findings demonstrate that chiropractic care can help you recover from back pain without surgery.
If you live in the Yuma area, Montero Chiropractic Clinic can probably help you with your back issues. Give our office a call today at (928) 782-2233 for more information or an appointment.
