Although some people are still uncertain about chiropractic care, 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.
Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes has seen many back pain patients in our State College, PA office who have been hurting for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back pain. Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes 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 conducted 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 patients who first sought treatment with chiropractic care, demonstrating that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
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. Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes has helped many patients in State College, PA recover. Give our office a call today at (814) 308-9352 for an appointment.
