"It’s amazing how much evidence there is that fusions don’t work, yet surgeons do them anyway,” said Sohail Mirza, MD, a spine surgeon… “The only one who isn’t benefitting from the equation is the patient.”
For decades chiropractors have warned people against back surgery. It has an incredibly high failure fate. One of the worst things is that the surgery can result in more pain so the patient has to have more surgery – and is never pain free again.
Please, if you know anyone who is contemplating spinal/disc surgery, have him/her call for an appointment. Studies show chiropractic is safer, much less costly and is a natural way to spinal health. (12)
