Surgery should be your last resort. The answer to your pain is to stop it at its source!

Medications, injections, and surgery don't have to be your first option. They shouldn't be your first option.

Unfortunately, these options are often seen as the end all be all when it comes to pain. The truth is that, with the exception of surgery, these methods will typically mask your body's pain instead of truly getting rid of it.

 

Surgery is something permanent. Once that knee is replaced there's no going back, and you can be dealing with a fortune in medical bills afterward. Not only that but after your surgery you'll end up in PT for 6-12 weeks anyway!

This is why we encourage PT as the first option. It's an opportunity to not only fix the real cause of the issue for good but to potentially save a small fortune in the process.

Find a PT that shares your goals and wants to see you succeed.

If you feel that our practice could be a good fit for you, give us a ring or send a text (316-290-9158). We're ready to help you find the best path forward and get you back to the activities you love, WITHOUT medications, injections, or surgery.

Clayton earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2020 from Wichita State allowing him to combine his love for the human body and helping clients improve their health while building strength and resiliency. “I thoroughly enjoy walking the path alongside my client and guiding him or her to being in control of his or her health.” After experiencing the “traditional” line of physical therapy in other outpatient clinics, he knew there was a more client-centered approach that could provide long-term access to care and improved results. “Our current medical system often prioritizes injections and surgeries over conservative care. After helping numerous clients eliminate pain and return to their activities, I’m confident there are many cases that can avoid unnecessary surgeries” Clayton is trained in a variety of manual therapy techniques and certified in Functional Dry Needling. In his time away from the clinic he enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters, with adventure and activities such as working out, hiking, kayaking, yard games, and anything new to stay active. He also enjoys vacations of all kinds from weekend road trips to cruises!
