I would guess it would depend on the problem.

It took me forever to get the doctor to schedule an MRI and after the MRI he was going to schedule me for a neurosurgeon but wanted me to try physical therapy first. After every visit I told the PT person it was not working. I finally told the doctor that I wanted to go see Dr Lora as he was in my network. Dr Lora said that no physical therapy could have helped my problem. Surgery was the only answer and now I feel great - most of the time.
