Chiropractic Therapy Before Surgery, Says AMA

Although some people are still hesitant about chiropractic treatment, 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. Cohen has seen many back pain patients in our Holtsville office who have been suffering for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back problems. Dr. Cohen has had great success in helping patients get relief and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Helps You Avoid Risky Surgery

Recently, in a study conducted on almost 2,000 Washington State employees who suffered from a back injury while on the job, more than 42% 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 non-invasive approach is extremely effective at keeping you off the operating table.
