Why Should I See A Doctor of Chiropractic in Johnson City First For My Back Pain?

I want to point out a study that reveals something that is pretty astounding. This study, conducted by the Dartmouth School of Medicine Department of Orthopedics, followed 1,885 people with back injuries for 3 years. Of those that went to an orthopedist first for their back pain, 42.7% ended up having surgery. Of those that saw a chiropractor in Johnson City first, only 1.5% ended up having back surgery. The studies authors conclude: "There was a very strong association between surgery and first provider seen for the injury". One can also conclude that a lot of people had back surgery that they wouldn't had to have if they had gone to a Doctor of Chiropractic first. I'd also be willing to bet that, sadly, very few, if any were told by their medical doctors to at least try chiropractic treatment before resorting to back surgery.
