Although some people are still uncertain about chiropractic, even the American Medical Association (AMA) suggests that adjustments should be tried prior to surgery–the one option that should be a last resort.
Dr. Kaden has seen many back pain patients in our Redondo Beach office who have been suffering for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back pain. Dr. Kaden has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
Research Proves Chiropractic Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery
For example, in one 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 patients who first sought treatment with chiropractic care, demonstrating that this non-invasive approach is extremely effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
