Although some people are still uncertain about chiropractic therapy, 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.
Sweeney Chiropractic has seen many back pain patients in our Nashville office who have been hurting for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back issues. Sweeney Chiropractic has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
For example, in one study conducted on nearly 2,000 Washington State employees 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, demonstrating that this non-invasive approach is extremely effective at keeping you off the operating table.
There are options to risky medical procedures. Chiropractic Therapy 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 heal. Give our office a call today at (615) 331-7040 for an appointment.
