Injuries: Non-Surgical Treatment

Dr. Lisa Corsa, Physical Therapy, Osteopathy and Athletic Training with Premier Therapy Solutions, says for a patient to avoid surgery the most important focus is looking at the musculoskeletal system and balancing it. "It is really important that the structures are balanced, because that is what causes the surgery. Knee arthritis or shoulder arthritis is when one muscle pulls against the weaker muscle, and it is this battle, so the bone rubs against the bone."
