Historically, medicine has taken a very biomedical approach to treatment, meaning we focus on illness instead of health, and look for single causes for the illness instead of contributing factors. Sometimes there is value to this approach, but often it can lead to overmedicalization, unnecessary treatments, increased risk, and higher costs. An episode of conservative care at Engage Physical Therapy costs less, reduces visits to various healthcare providers, partners with you, and looks at the whole person, not just a body part.
By understanding your history, concerns, needs, and expectations, we can work together to attain your goals.
