Although some people are still uncertain about chiropractic therapy, 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.
Dr. Forsyth has seen many back pain patients in our Las Vegas office who have been suffering for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back issues. Dr. Forsyth has had great success in helping patients get relief and avoid risky back surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
For example, in one study carried out 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 people who first sought treatment with chiropractic, demonstrating that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you out of the operating room.
There are alternatives to risky medical procedures. Chiropractic Therapy is a proven effective and safe way to improve the function of your spine, which is the root cause of back pain. Dr. Forsyth has helped many patients in Las Vegas heal. Give our office a call today at (702) 722-2225 for an appointment.
