non-operative management

Non-operative management refers to treating an injury or medical condition without surgery. Instead, it involves strategies like medication, physical therapy, rest, or other interventions to promote healing and manage symptoms. This approach is often chosen when the condition can improve naturally or with less invasive methods, avoiding the risks and recovery time associated with surgery. It requires careful monitoring to ensure the condition improves and doesn’t worsen, and it’s an effective option for many conditions that don’t necessitate immediate surgical intervention.
