Dangers of Surgery

31 Million Americans suffer from Low Back Pain!

Greater than 1 Million Americans have back surgery yearly! Twice as many as any other country!

Back surgery is like a potato chip. You can’t just have one!

More than $100 BILLION per year are spent on back surgery in the USA.

More than $20 Billion a year are spent on disc surgery!

1 in 50 patients having back surgery die within 3 years!

Complications to surgery include infection, nerve damage and Permanent Disability. In time, scar tissue forms around the nerve and other tissues, causing pain and addiction to pain pills!

Back pain is the second cause of lost days from work for people under the age of 45.

Shasta County prescribes more than twice as much pain medications as the rest of California.

Dr. Andrew Decker MD, Shasta County Health Officer states he is considering other treatments for pain management patients.

Our motto at Shasta Spine Specialists is to bring you to a higher level of performance on a daily basis and eliminate, or at least reduce pain and dysfunction, by combining chiropractic care, physiotherapy, and other forms of non-surgical and drugless treatment options so you can return to doing the things you love to do!

The Medical Doctors treat injuries with pain pills, maybe physical therapy, and then injections from Pain Management which are not even FDA approved. When these don't work, the injured patient is sent to a surgeon where more than half end up having surgery! The person doesn’t return to normal! It’s worth going to Shasta Spine Specialists early on in hopes of a full recovery! Only 3% of patients that receive treatment from a Chiropractor end in surgery and much more injuries recover! Conservative Care First MUST include Chiropractic Care!

Consumer Reports says Epidural Steroid Injections are NOT FDA approved! Dr Oz ran details on TV as well! It's only 33% successful! Additionally, Dr. Oz reported that most medical facilities performing these injections adamantly stated they are FDA approved but the FDA website expresses otherwise.

I strongly believe 80% of your well-being occurs from a healthy, mobile, flexible, strong and stable spine. This is only achieved through a well-balanced, all-inclusive (complete or comprehensive) chiropractic care program!

It is my responsibility to deliver the best treatment I personally can to you and encourage YOU, my patient to be working towards WELLNESS. No masking your problems here with drugs or anything else!
