Sometimes, yes. Many orthopedic conditions can improve with the right physical therapy treatment, allowing patients to avoid or delay surgery.

The goal isn't simply to make your pain go away temporarily. We look at why you're having the problem in the first place and work on things such as joint mobility, strength, movement patterns, and function.

Of course, surgery is sometimes the best option. But if there is a reasonable opportunity to improve your condition without surgery, it's worth trying conservative treatment first.

Where you feel pain isn't always where the problem starts. That's why Dr. Vyas takes a whole-body approach to your evaluation.

For example, knee pain may be influenced by limitations in your hip, ankle, or overall movement. Shoulder pain may be affected by mobility or strength in other areas.

At OrthoPrime Physical Therapy, we combine orthopedic manual therapy, hands-on treatment, therapeutic exercise, mobility work, and strengthening based on what your body actually needs.

The goal is to understand what's contributing to your pain-not just treat the painful spot.

OrthoPrime Physical Therapy accepts many major insurance plans, including Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Aetna, Priority Health, Blue Cross Complete, workers' compensation, and auto insurance.

Your exact coverage depends on your individual insurance plan, deductible, copay, and benefits. We recommend confirming your benefits with your insurance company before starting treatment.

If you're unsure about your coverage, call us at 734-855-4046 and we'll help you understand the process.

It's normal to occasionally experience some muscle soreness after starting a new exercise program or receiving hands-on treatment, especially if your body isn't used to it.

However, physical therapy shouldn't leave you feeling significantly worse after every visit. Dr. Vyas pays close attention to how you respond to treatment and adjusts the intensity and techniques accordingly.

The goal is progress-not pain for the sake of treatment.

We believe physical therapy should be more than putting you on a few machines and sending you home with exercises

At OrthoPrime Physical Therapy in Livonia, treatment is one-on-one and highly personalized . Dr. Vyas is an experienced orthopedic manual physical therapist who uses hands-on techniques along with targeted exercise and strengthening.

Every patient is different, so your treatment shouldn't be a cookie-cutter program.

Dr. Vyas takes the time to understand your symptoms, evaluate how your entire body is moving, and develop a treatment plan around your goals-not just your diagnosis.

There isn't a magic number of visits that works for everyone.

Your recovery depends on several factors, including what is causing your symptoms, how long you've been dealing with the problem, your overall health, your goals, and how your body responds to treatment.

After your evaluation, Dr. Vyas will discuss your condition and give you a better idea of what your treatment may look like.

Our goal is to help you get better, become independent, and get back to the things you enjoy- not keep you in physical therapy longer than necessary.

We understand that fitting physical therapy into your work and family schedule isn't always easy. OrthoPrime offers morning and evening appointment options to make it easier to get the care you need.
