non-invasive treatment
No cutting needed
Non-invasive treatment is medical care that doesn't require breaking the skin or entering the body through an incision or natural opening.
It contrasts with surgery or procedures involving needles, catheters, or scopes.
Physical therapy, medication taken orally, and external radiation are non-invasive; biopsies and injections are not.
The doctor recommended non-invasive treatment before considering surgery.
