Chiropractic Before Surgery, Says AMA

Although some people are still skeptical about chiropractic care, even the American Medical Association (AMA) recommends that adjustments should be tried prior to surgical treatment--the one option that should be a last resort.

Mulholland Chiropractic Center, LLC has seen many back pain patients in our Anchorage office who have been suffering for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back pain. Mulholland Chiropractic Center, LLC has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

Research Shows Chiropractic Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

For example, in a study carried out on about 2,000 Washington State workers who suffered from a back injury while at work, 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, showing that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you off the operating table.
