Noblesville Chiropractic Care Can Alleviate Need for Back Surgery

Each year, over 500,000 people have back surgery in the US. Although sometimes it's necessary to have back surgery, the reality is that if you can avoid this type of invasive procedure, you're often better off.

Dr. Dahlager is here to make sure that people in Noblesville have a natural, non-surgical option for back pain. We've helped many people recover from back pain without the need for surgery.

There are many reasons to avoid unnecessary medical procedures: Surgeries often result in a longer recuperation time and complications, neither of which is a desirable scenario. Thankfully, as one study has found, chiropractic may actually keep you off the surgeon's table altogether.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps Avoid Back Surgery

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 wound up having back surgery. For those who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!

These findings show that chiropractic care can help you heal from back pain without surgical treatments.
