How to Avoid Surgery for Back Pain wiht Chiropractic Adjustments

Although some people are still uncertain about chiropractic treatment, even the American Medical Association (AMA) recommends that adjustments should be tried prior to surgery - the one option that should be a last resort.

Dr. Fritz has seen many back pain patients in our Jacksonville and Fleming Island office who have been suffering for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back discomfort. Dr. Fritz has had great success in helping patients heal from and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

Recently, in one study carried out on about 2,000 Washington State workers who suffered from a back injury while on the job, more than 40% 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, proving that this non-invasive approach is very effective at keeping you off the operating table.
