Sometimes your goal might be to avoid surgery, injections, multiple medications, etc. This might be philosophical, religious, ordue to other health reasons, to name a few. Regardless of your reasoning, our therapists are here to help and happy to do so.

 

There are well established and research-backed protocols that are proven to naturally reduce knee arthritis symptoms. There is similar evidence and precedent for avoiding rotator cuff surgery, even when tearing is present. Spinal disc issues and several other issues also have good potential for conservative management. While not all providers may promote this, it is the exact reason that some insurance companies often require a trial of physical therapy before approving more invasive approaches. It is known that surgery should always be a last option, due to the complications and side effects, and that there is a high statistical probability that many are avoidable.

 

Even if you have been told you need surgery, there is a strong chance it can be avoided altogether or at least delayed given the proper treatment.
