AMA Recommends Chiropractic Care Before Surgery

Although some people are still skeptical about chiropractic therapy, 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. Valente has seen many back pain patients in our New York office who have been hurting for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back discomfort. Dr. Valente has had great success in helping patients get relief 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 employees who suffered from a back injury while at work, 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 individuals who first sought treatment with chiropractic, demonstrating that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you off the operating table.
