Although some people are still skeptical about chiropractic, even the American Medical Association (AMA) suggests that adjustments should be tried prior to surgical treatment--the one option that should be a last resort.

Frank Bendiks, DC, PC has seen many back pain patients in our Naperville, IL office who have been suffering for years and who are afraid that they might need an operation for their back pain. Frank Bendiks, DC, PC has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

For example, in a study conducted on about 2,000 Washington State workers who suffered from a back injury while on the job, more than 42% 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, proving that this non-invasive approach is very effective at keeping you out of the operating room.

There are alternatives 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. Frank Bendiks, DC, PC has helped many patients in Naperville, IL recover. Give our office a call today at (630) 301-0054 for an appointment.
