How we Help in Brunswick GA

Dr. Halverson has seen many back pain patients in our Brunswick, GA Chiropractic office who have been hurting for years and who are worried that they might need an operation for their back pain. Dr. Halverson has had great success in helping patients recover and avoid risky surgery, and the science backs up our experience.

For example, in one study carried out 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 care, demonstrating that this natural approach is very effective at keeping you off the operating table.

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. Dr. Halverson has helped many patients in Brunswick, GA recover. Give our office a call today at (912) 262-9735 for an appointment.
