Conservative care is a method of treatment that utilizes the least invasive options possible to resolve health conditions. Professions that employ conservative care include, but are not limited to, chiropractors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, and practitioners of functional medicine. On the other hand, modern medicine often involves treatments that utilize pharmacological and surgical interventions.At Wagner Sports Chiropractic, we are dedicated to providing elite-level sports rehabilitation and chiropractic care, ensuring a truly conservative trial of care. Additionally, we aim to triage patients and refer them to the appropriate practitioner for optimal clinical outcomes. I might be the right practitioner for you, and we will use objective measurements (range of motion, dynamometer, functional assessments, etc.) and subjective data (your experiences and assessments) to determine the success of care. However, if these measurements plateau or worsen, I have a network of healthcare providers to whom I can refer you.
Personal Story
Back in college, I underwent complete hip reconstructive surgery. Leading up to the surgery, I exhausted all conservative care options. This accomplished two things:I was able to rest at night knowing that surgery was my best option.I was assured that I was a good candidate for the surgical intervention.If your problem can be resolved with conservative treatment, it is a good indication that surgical or pharmacological intervention would be excessive. We seek to provide evidence-based and thorough conservative care that can either resolve your problem or determine your readiness for further treatments.
Conclusion
At Wagner Sports Chiropractic, we believe that conservative care should complement modern medicine by referring patients who are great candidates for further medical intervention. We are committed to providing the best possible care and ensuring that you receive the appropriate treatment for your condition.
