Spinal Fusion Surgery?

WHAT THE.....?! This is what a typical spinal fusion surgery looks like. *warning: video may be graphic for some. Let's cover some reasons why this surgery makes NO sense.


1) There is ABSOLUTELY no research spinal fusion benefits a person (long term) UNLESS the spine is unstable. I hope most people plan on living long after they've had surgery.

2) The spine isn't moving/functioning properly which caused the herniation, degeneration, arthritis, etc in the first place. So, let's FUSE the spine to further prevent motion in the spine because that's going to help the problem????

3) Spinal surgeries have proven SOOOO successful over the years...right? Oh, so that's why the MAJOR INSURANCE companies had to create a specific code for FAILED BACK SURGERY.

4) Traditionally, the need for spinal surgery is based on the presence of a disc herniation confirmed on MRI, YET, research has shown time and time again that (conservatively) 60% of the population have DISC BULGES (confirmed on MRI) and have NO back pain whatsoever. Maybe it's not the bulge that's causing the problem???

5) Research continues to show that conservative care, i.e. Chiropractic and Physical Therapy (restoring proper motion & strengthening the musculature respectively) combined provide better long term outcomes in not only reducing pain, but increasing function and stopping and reversing the degenerative process.

6) We hear time and time again "Well, my insurance will pay for the surgery but will only cover a limited number of treatments for Chiropractic & PT." THIS is why your insurance rates continue to skyrocket. You elect to have a surgery which costs thousands of dollars and your insurance company pays for it. Insurance companies are in the business to make MONEY....NOT to make sure you're healthy. YOUR job is to make sure you're healthy.

Do you need any more reasons NOT to have spinal surgery, because I can keep going???

I Wish I Would Have....

Have you ever looked back at your younger years and said to yourself, "I wish I would have (insert comment here)."  You see, we hear this a lot at the Walton Clinic, mostly when it pertains to a patient's spine, posture, and over all health.  

Let me give you an example.  Recently, a new patient came to us with pain and stiffness in her neck, upper back, shoulder and had numbness going all the way to her fingertips.  She's in her early 30's, and at that age we all believe that we shouldn't have any problems until we're older.  She had no recent injury.  She mentioned she played sports growing up, but again, had no injury.  Sure, she had some bumps and bruises a long the way, but hey kids heal...right?  She stated she always knew she had a 'slight' scoliosis (improper curvature of the spine), but didn't think it ever affected her.  Now, back to her current complaints.  "It just came out of nowhere," she says.  You would not believe how many times we hear this a day.

In actuality, 90% of people's aches, pains....poor health don't just come out of nowhere.  Think about it.  Someone doesn't just get out of shape or overweight overnight.  It's an accumulation of not eating healthy or not exercising or both for months or years.  People don't just wake up with heart disease or high cholesterol.  Again, it's years of breakdown that occurs.
Poor posture may reveal potential future health problems.

So, when it comes to the patient I referred to earlier, I'm confident that had she had her spine checked by a Pediatric Chiropractor, who deals specifically with proper spine alignment and motion, nervous system function and their relation, at a younger age she would most likely not be experiencing her current aches and pains.  She'd be able to sleep comfortably at night and she'd be able to play with her young children without stopping due to pain.  She'd be able to enjoy life.

Do you want the most for your child/children?  Give them the best opportunity to have a healthy nervous system.  Get them checked by a Pediatric Chiropractor.  You get their teeth checked.  Your get their lungs and heart checked.  You get their ears and eyes checked.  Doesn't it make sense to get their spine and nerve system checked???  It just happens to control all other parts of their entire body.

Medical Errors Kill 440,000 Americans Per Year???



Medical errors kill 440,000 Americans per year???  Click here to read the full article.

Yeeeeooow!  This stat has gone up.  Last report from several years ago was 225,000.

A little perspective: This would equate to about 670+ Boeing 747s full of people crashing....each year.  Would you fly if this were the case?

Let's say these were Chiropractic patients, and just .001% die from a Chiropractic adjustment.  That would be 4.4 people per year.  Chiropractors would be out of business if this were the case.  

It seems most people's fears develop from what they've heard, not from what is true or what they've actually experienced.  Chiropractic (as a profession) has been around for over 120 years and has been proven over and over to be safe and effective.  If Chiropractic were killing 4 people per year it would 1) be national headlines and 2) no longer be a profession.

Now, we're not saying 'don't go to the hospital.'  But we encourage you to look at more natural and obviously safer options especially before undergoing the risk of surgery.
