Although some people are still uncertain about chiropractic, 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. Vinick has seen many back pain patients in our Redondo Beach office who have been hurting for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back pain. Dr. Vinick has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky surgery, and the science backs up our experience.
For example, in one study conducted on almost 2,000 Washington State workers 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 people who first sought treatment with chiropractic care, proving that this natural 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. Vinick has helped many patients in Redondo Beach recover. Give our office a call today at (310) 375-4325 for an appointment.
