The latest numbers show that there are over 500,000 spinal surgeries each year in the US. Although sometimes it's necessary to have surgery for back pain, the reality is that if you can avoid this type of invasive procedure, you're often better off.
Dr. Cyr is here to make sure that patients in Rutland have a natural, non-surgical option for back issues. We've helped many people get relief from back pain without the need for surgery.
There are many reasons to avoid unnecessary medical treatments: Surgeries often result in a longer recuperation time and complications, neither of which is a desirable scenario. Thankfully, as one medical study has found, chiropractic adjustments may actually keep you out of the operating room completely.
In this paper, 1,885 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 surgery for their pain. For subjects who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!
These findings demonstrate that chiropractic care can help you heal from back discomfort without surgical procedures.
If you live in the Rutland area, Dr. Cyr can probably help you with your back pain. Give our office a call today at (802) 775-6961 for more information or an appointment.
