Chiropractic Decreases Need for Surgery

Patients who actively used Chiropractic care for their back pain are less likely to require surgery compared to patients under traditional medicine, according to a 2013 study from the journal Spine.

The numbers are astonishing. For patients who first went to family doctor, 42.7% eventually ended up having surgery. In contrast, out of all patients who relied on chiropractors to treat back pain, only 1.5% needed surgery at the end. Researchers noted that the health-care provider is a key component in the healing process of a patients, and that in this case, could mean whether a patient underwent surgery or not.

However, this is not the first time a study of the same kind has found the benefits of chiropractic care for patients. In a 2010 Clinical trial comparing microdiscectomy and spinal adjustments for sciatica, 60% of chiropractic patients had significant improvements without needing surgery.

So why do chiropractic treatments help avoid surgery? Chiropractic care purpose is not just treating aches and pains, chiropractors focus on finding and addressing the root cause of a pain/condition. Chiropractic adjustments eliminate any interference in the nervous system, improves range of motion, and promotes natural healing for the musculoskeletal system. Science and research prove that Chiropractic adjustments produce health benefits beyond initial pain relief.
