“As doctors of physical therapy, we are trained to diagnose injury through a detailed one-on-one exam, where strength and range of motion are measured, and joint and ligamentous tests are performed to determine an accurate diagnosis,” says Dr. Cramer. “It is not necessary to resort

“If you don’t want orthopedic surgery, then don’t consult with an orthopedic surgeon first. Instead, consult with an independent physical therapist where there is no potential conflict of interest, so you can be treated in an environment that gives you the best opportunity to avoid orthopedic surgery,” says Dr. Cramer.
