FAQ

Do I really need surgery?

Many conditions improve without surgery when the root cause is addressed.

Short answer: Surgery is needed only in specific cases.

  • Urgent surgery: severe weakness, loss of bladder/bowel control, fractures
  • Consider surgery: structural damage that blocks movement despite proper rehab
  • Often avoidable: most tendinopathy, nerve entrapment, Frozen Shoulder

When surgery is necessary

Get surgical opinion now

  • Progressive muscle weakness or foot drop
  • Loss of bladder/bowel control

Often treatable without surgery
