Although some people are still uncertain about chiropractic, 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. Steve Eustice has seen many back pain patients in our Denton, TX office who have been in pain for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back pain. Dr. Steve Eustice has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
For example, 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 individuals who first sought treatment with chiropractic care, demonstrating that this natural approach is extremely effective at keeping you off the operating table.
There are options to risky medical procedures. Chiropractic is a proven effective and safe way to improve the function of your spine, which is the root cause of back pain. Dr. Steve Eustice has helped many patients in Denton, TX recover. Give our office a call today at (940) 591-9097 for an appointment.
