Treatment
Do I Need Surgery, or Just Physiotherapy?
It's one of the most common questions we hear after a diagnosis — and the honest answer is that surgery is rarely the automatic next step.
Many bone and joint problems get better with structured physiotherapy alone — no surgery needed at all.
We look at how much the pain is actually limiting your daily life, how you respond to a fair trial of conservative treatment first, and what matters most to you personally — a competitive athlete's priorities look different from someone managing a desk job.
We will always explain both paths honestly, including realistic timelines and what happens if the non-surgical route doesn't fully resolve things, before any decision is made together.
