HEALTH & WELLNESS NEWSLETTER 2020 FEAR OF THE KNIFE? PHYSICAL THERAPY COULD HELP YOU AVOID SURGERY
Does the thought of undergoing surgery make you feel queasy? If so, you’re not alone. Many people have a “fear of the knife,” so to speak. No one wants to get surgery, but sometimes it is a necessary part of physical treatment. However, it doesn’t always have to be. If you feel as if you may be on the path to needing surgery, but you’d like to discuss alternative options, don’t hesitate to give our team at Marketplace Physical Therapy & Wellness Center a call. How can I avoid surgery? There are numerous benefits to foregoing surgery and sticking with physical therapy – for instance, you’ll save an incredible amount of money. Surgeries are pricey and physical therapy is far cheaper! You will also avoid the extensive recovery time that follows surgery. Many times, patients will need post-surgical rehabilitation (and
sometimes pre-surgical rehabilitation) anyway. Why go through both if one can do the trick? Physical therapy isn’t invasive. Physical therapy doesn’t involve any risks of complications or need for harmful painkillers. It’s not painful, it’s not dangerous, and it’s a natural remedy for your pain! For some specific conditions, patients who received physical therapy alone were seen to have achieved the same results as those who received surgery in tandem with physical therapy. These conditions were: • Meniscal tears • Rotator cuff tears
• Osteoarthritis • Spinal stenosis • Degenerative disc disease
