Although some people are still skeptical 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.
Dr. Jane Steffen Bye has seen many back pain patients in our Shoreview, MN office who have been hurting for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back pain. Dr. Jane Steffen Bye has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
Recently, in a study carried out on almost 2,000 Washington State employees 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 individuals who first sought treatment with chiropractic, proving that this non-invasive approach is very effective at keeping you off the operating table.
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. Dr. Jane Steffen Bye has helped many patients in Shoreview, MN recover. Give our office a call today at (651) 483-4040 for an appointment.
