AMA Recommends Chiropractic Care Before Surgery

Although some people are still skeptical 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.

Dr. Szilagyi has seen many back pain patients in our Harleysville office who have been hurting for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back issues. Dr. Szilagyi 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

Recently, in a study conducted on about 2,000 Washington State employees who suffered from a back injury while at work, 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 care, proving that this natural approach is extremely effective at keeping you off the operating table.
