January 31, 2012 — Steven Shoshany, DC, a member of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) and recognized as one of New York City’s top chiropractors, was invited by Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of New York Presbyterian Hospital’s Cardiovascular Institute and Complementary Medicine Program and vice-chair and professor of surgery at Columbia University, to appear in a special segment about chiropractic on The Dr. Oz Show.

In the segment, Shoshany and Oz’s dialogue centered on important topics such as the significant advantages of chiropractic for the treatment of chronic back pain and as a safe and effective alternative to surgery.

An acclaimed surgeon himself, Oz placed emphasis on the higher risks associated with surgical treatment for back pain compared to chiropractic, as well as the dangers of relying on prescription drugs for pain management, noting that pills and epidurals are prescribed with alarming frequency, and urged viewers with pain issues to

consider chiropractic treatment before resorting to expensive and risky surgical procedures or numbing the pain with potentially hazardous medication.

The doctors also discussed dealing with inaccurate negative perceptions about the chiropractic profession and closed the segment with an on-camera adjustment by Shoshany on a patient suffering from back pain.

This segment marks Shoshany’s second appearance on The Dr. Oz Show, as he was previously invited by to discuss the advantages of chiropractic treatment for pain management over surgery and prescription medications in an episode March 3, 2011.

Oz has provided a great platform for the public to learn about the substantial pain relief and long-term benefits of chiropractic by sharing Shoshany’s superior knowledge and expertise. For more information on Shoshany, visit drshoshany.com.
