Non-surgical medical treatments and therapies
“What are my options besides surgery?”
More than most people are told. I start by stabilizing the injury so you can stay active, then choose from laser, shockwave, TECAR radio frequency, electric cell therapy, acoustical vibration and medical foods, depending on what the exam and imaging show. Each one is explained below in plain language.
