Chiropractic Therapy Before Surgery, Says AMA

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

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

Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

For example, in a study conducted on almost 2,000 Washington State workers 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 people who first sought treatment with chiropractic care, proving that this non-invasive approach is extremely effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
