Each year, over 500,000 people have back surgery in the US. Although in some cases it's necessary to have surgery for back discomfort, 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 Downtown St. Louis, MO have a natural, non-surgical option for back issues. We've helped many patients recover from back pain without the need for surgery.
There are many reasons to avoid unnecessary medical procedures: Surgeries often result in a longer recovery time and complications, neither of which is a desirable scenario. Thankfully, as one medical study has found, chiropractic care may actually keep you off the surgeon's table altogether.
In this report, about 1,900 workers with back injuries were evaluated 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 show that chiropractic care can help you recover from back discomfort without surgery.
