The latest numbers show that there are over 500,000 spinal surgeries annually in the US. Although sometimes it's necessary to have surgery for back issues, the reality is that if you can prevent this type of invasive procedure, you're often better off.
Dr. Holland is here to make sure that people in North County St. Louis, MO have a natural, non-surgical option for back issues. We've helped many patients get relief from back pain without the need for surgery.
There are plenty of reasons to avoid unnecessary medical treatments: Surgeries often result in a longer recuperation time and complications, neither of which is a desirable scenario. Luckily, as one study has found, chiropractic adjustments may actually keep you out of the operating room entirely.
In this study, about 1,900 workers with back injuries were assessed over a three year period. When the workers first sought care with a surgeon, over 42 percent ended up having surgery for their pain. For those who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!
These findings indicate that chiropractic care can help you recover from back discomfort without surgery.
