When entering into any surgery we are aware of the risks but, of course, hope for the very best possible outcome. An eye-opening study back in 2011 revealed that a whopping *74% of back surgeries result in failure. Though medical technology has advanced since then, the number of people still in pain after surgery is still incredibly high. Newer studies show that 40% still report back pain post-surgery.
Many of these patients are told they need follow-up surgery. The problem is that the success rate for second surgeries is even less.
If you happen to be one of those unfortunate patients, you may feel there is no hope and you are simply doomed to a life of pain and pain killers. The truth is that there is still something that can be done to help ease discomfort.
Chiropractic has been shown to drastically increase the ability to move freely as well as lessen pain in patients who had previously undergone back surgeries with little or no relief.
Even better, if you have not yet had surgery we strongly encourage you to visit your chiropractor for a consultation beforehand. Noninvasive and gentle, chiropractic can get to the source of the pain and help your body correct it naturally, potentially avoiding surgery altogether.
If you have been told that you need back surgery and are considering it as an option we would love to talk with you and see if we can help you figure out what truly is the very best option for your health.
For back pain relief that lasts without harsh side effects or chance of addiction call the office of Dr. Jason Kaster, D.C. today.
