Prevent Back Surgery with Chiropractic

Each year, over 500,000 people have back surgery in the US. Although in some cases 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. Jamie Stern is here to make sure that people in San Francisco & Sunnyvale, CA have a natural, non-surgical option for back pain. We've helped many people heal from back pain without the need for surgery.

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

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

These findings mean that chiropractic care can help you heal from back pain without surgery.

If you live in the San Francisco & Sunnyvale, CA area, Dr. Jamie Stern can probably help you with your back pain. Give our office a call today at (415) 308-7636 for more information or an appointment.
