Each year, over 500,000 people have back surgery in the US. Although sometimes it's necessary to have back surgery, the fact is that if you can avoid this type of invasive procedure, you're often better off.
Dr. Nowak is here to make sure that people in South Buffalo have a healthy, non-surgical option for back issues. We've helped many people heal from back pain without the need for surgery.
There are plenty of reasons to avoid unnecessary medical procedures: Surgeries often result in a longer recovery time and complications, neither of which is a desirable scenario. Luckily, as one study has found, chiropractic may actually keep you out of the operating room completely.
Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps Avoid Back Surgery
In this paper, 1,885 workers with back injuries were evaluated over a three year period. When the workers first sought treatment with a surgeon, over 42 percent wound up having surgery for their pain. For subjects who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!
These findings demonstrate that chiropractic care can help you recover from back pain without surgical treatments.
If you live in the South Buffalo area, Dr. Nowak can probably help you with your back discomfort. Give our office a call today at (716) 825-4121 for more information or an appointment.
