Physical therapy can be very effective in helping to avoid surgery in some cases. Physical therapy aims to address the underlying cause of pain or dysfunction through the use of exercise, manual therapy, and other techniques. By strengthening weak muscles, improving joint mobility, and reducing inflammation, physical therapy can often alleviate symptoms and improve function without the need for surgery.

First off, make sure that the physical therapist (PT) works with you one on one for the entire session. Second, your PT should have a doctorate degree. Thirdly, focus on getting quality care not the quantity of visits that your medical doctor has ordered.
