How to Avoid Surgery for Back Pain with Chiropractic Care

Although some people are still skeptical about chiropractic adjustments, even the American Medical Association (AMA) suggests that adjustments should be tried prior to surgical treatment - the one option that should be a last resort.

Dr. Priolo has seen many back pain patients in our Ronkonkoma office who have been suffering for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back pain. Dr. Priolo 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 one study conducted on about 2,000 Washington State employees who suffered from a back injury while at work, more than 40% 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, showing that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you off the operating table.
