So You’ve Been Told Surgery is Your Only Option?

Hearing the words, “You need surgery,” is overwhelming. Surgery certainly is necessary sometimes, but let’s explore what you can do before you decide an operation is your only option. NextGen Rehab and Wellness in Murrieta, CA, specializes in non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments to help you relieve pain, restore function, and avoid surgery. 

After a thorough assessment, your physical therapist develops a tailored plan that includes advanced physical therapy and cutting-edge treatments like SoftWave TRT and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. Combining solutions promotes healing and gets you back to your favorite activities.

Before committing to surgery, explore these innovative alternatives for the relief you need without the risks and recovery time.

Why Avoid Surgery?

Surgery can solve some issues, but it comes with risks and drawbacks like:

  1. Recovery Time – Most operations take at least 6 weeks and often months of recovery with limited mobility and independence.
  2. Complications – Risks of complications include infections, anesthesia reactions, blood clots, excessive bleeding, and nerve or tissue damage.  
  3. Cost – Even with insurance, surgical procedures can be expensive.
  4. No Guarantee – Many surgeries don’t solve the problem. Sometimes, you end up with new issues caused by scar tissue or reduced range of motion.

The good news? Many times, a condition that creates an opinion that “surgery is your only option” can be managed or resolved with less invasive treatments. We’ve seen it many, many times here at NextGen Rehab and Wellness in Murrieta, CA.

Physical Therapy to Avoid Surgery at NextGen Rehab and Wellness in Murrieta, CA

Physical therapy is the first line of defense to address musculoskeletal issues. NextGen Rehab and Wellness skilled physical therapists create personalized treatment plans tailored to your condition to help you avoid surgery.

  • Pain Management – First, we work to get your pain under control. Techniques like manual therapy and targeted exercises reduce pain without medication.
  • Improve Mobility – Physical therapy helps restore your range of motion, strength, and flexibility to get you moving again.
  • Address the Root Cause: Physical therapy targets the underlying issues contributing to your condition rather than just treating symptoms.
  • Preventing Future Injuries: Strengthening and stabilizing muscles and joints reduces re-injury risk.
