Recovery Timeframes Non-Surgical vs Surgical Approaches
For athletes and active individuals, time off the field can feel devastating. Non-surgical treatment dramatically reduces recovery time compared to surgery: strains heal in 4–8 weeks versus 3–6 months, tendon injuries in 8–12 weeks versus 6–12 months. At Hecker Sports Medicine™, we use advanced therapies like TECAR, laser, and shockwave to accelerate healing without surgical intervention.
