Jim had already consulted three orthopedic surgeons and a neurologist, with surgery appearing to be the only option.
He needed a solution to relieve pain and regain function without resorting to an invasive procedure.
INTERVENTION

Direct communication between physicians and physical therapists.
Scheduling and appointment management.
Therapy adjustments based on Jim’s progress.

After 15 therapy sessions, Jim was pain-free, back at work, and able to exercise again.
Surgery was avoided, preventing unnecessary costs and recovery time.
Jim regained his quality of life without the risks of an invasive procedure.
