What is Conservative Care In an era of quick fixes, unrealistic surgical expectations and impersonal “client service”, The Upper Extremity Institute stands apart. We believe in a holistic healing philosophy which keeps your ultimate well-being always in mind; a philosophy which considers surgery only as a last resort. This is conservative care: from initial examination and diagnosis through therapy, self-hypnosis techniques, biofeedback, and a complete array of standard and alternative treatment options, we’ll provide you with the specific behavior and lifestyle modification plan or pain management program you need to recover as fully, quickly – and painlessly – as possible. Through it all, we’ll offer more than the brisk bedside manner that is so swiftly dispensed today; we’ll make you feel at home and give you the time – just as old-fashioned doctors would – to discuss the full scope of your problem. After all, it is only by understanding exactly where it hurts that we will know precisely how to help you get better.
