Not wanting to have back surgery is natural. Your spine is with you on that!
The May 2013 issue of the top-rated spine journal in medicine, Spine, publishes the findings of a study of back surgery patients to get some statistics. (1) These are most interesting:
- only 1.5% of those who saw a CHIROPRACTOR FIRST had surgery.
- 42.7% of those who saw a SURGEON FIRST had surgery.
Determinants that reduced the odds of back surgery were observed for those: - younger than 35 years,
- females,
- Hispanics, and
- those whose first provider was a chiropractor.
Approximately 42.7% of workers who first saw a surgeon first for their back pain had surgery in contrast to only 1.5% of those who saw a chiropractor first. So see your Carrolltown chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation first!
