Prevent Back Surgery with Chiropractic Care

Every year, over 500,000 people have back surgery in the US. Although sometimes it's necessary to have back surgery, the reality is that if you can avoid this type of invasive procedure, you're often better off.

Dr. Delson is here to make sure that people in Springfield have a natural, non-surgical option for back problems. We've helped many people heal from back pain without the need for surgery.

There are plenty of reasons to avoid unnecessary medical procedures: Surgeries often result in a longer recovery time and complications, neither of which is an acceptable scenario. Luckily, as one medical study has found, chiropractic may actually keep you off the surgeon's table entirely.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps Prevent Back Surgery

In this study, about 1,900 workers with back injuries were examined over a three year period. When the workers first sought treatment with a surgeon, over 42 percent wound up having surgery for their pain. For patients who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!

These findings suggest that chiropractic care can help you heal from back problems without surgical treatments.

If you live in the Springfield area, Dr. Delson can probably help you with your back discomfort. Give our office a call today at (413) 788-4464 for more information or an appointment.
