Although some people are still skeptical 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.
Sweeney Chiropractic has seen many back pain patients in our Nashville office who have been suffering for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back pain. Sweeney Chiropractic has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
For example, in one study carried out 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, showing that this natural approach is extremely effective at keeping you off the operating table.
There are options to risky medical procedures. Chiropractic is a proven effective and safe way to improve the function of your spine, which is the root cause of back pain. Sweeney Chiropractic has helped many patients in Nashville recover. Give our office a call today at (615) 331-7040 for an appointment.
