Helping Patients Live Healthy and Fulfilling Lives
At Cypress Health Partners, we have a simple vision for how musculoskeletal care should be delivered: give patients the best, most convenient options for addressing their conditions quickly and effectively, and follow that up with life-long support to help them live healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Unfortunately, for many patients, this vision is not a reality. Far too many receive costly and invasive treatments that fail to address their underlying conditions, resulting in unnecessary hospital re-admits and an overreliance on pain medication.
We envision an alternative approach where physical therapy and chiropractic care are the first stop on a patient’s care journey, not the last. This “physical therapy first” approach introduces conservative, evidence-based treatments early on which helps avoid unnecessary and complex treatments and diagnostics.
Physical therapy first
Studies have shown that this “physical therapy first” vs. traditional surgery approach has the following benefits*:
Reduction in wait times to see a provider from 30 days to 1
More than 50% COST REDUCTION
80% reduction in pain
50% improvement in functional status measures
*Based on the Starbucks “Physical Therapy First” Analysis and The Virginia Mason Medical Center/Aetna study
