Why is "conservative care" treated like the alternative, while surgery is the default setting? 🛑

In this episode of Untold Physio Stories, Dr. Wells shares a case of a patient that highlights exactly what is broken in our healthcare system.

The patient reached out with a simple, heartbreaking question: "Am I getting the right care?"

Here is the patient's timeline before ever talking to a PT:

1. The Scan: Went in for low back pain, immediately received a scan.

2. The First Surgery: Based on the image (not the function), they operated. It failed.

3. The Second Surgery: The surgeon’s solution to the failed surgery? Cut again.

The patient eventually made his way to Dr. Wells, but asked him, what do you think of the recommendations I've been given so far?
