Dr. Raynor believes in exhausting appropriate conservative options before considering surgery. Many conditions improve with:
Physiotherapy and exercise therapy
Activity modification
Manual therapy and massage
Targeted strengthening programs
Movement pattern correction
When Surgery Is Needed: If conservative management fails or your condition requires surgical intervention, you'll receive:
Clear explanation of the surgical procedure
Realistic expectations for outcomes, including the risks
A recovery timeline for your specific procedure
Pre-operative physiotherapy (prehab) when beneficial
Coordinated post-operative rehabilitation
All recommendations are based on:
Current research and clinical evidence
Your specific condition and circumstances
Your goals and activity level
Risk-benefit analysis
Realistic outcome expectations
Whether to have surgery is a decision you make together. Dr. Raynor will explain why an approach is recommended, what the alternatives are, and what each is and isn't likely to achieve, so you can weigh it against your own goals.

General Recovery Ranges:
The figures below are broad orientation ranges, not predictions for your case. Real timelines vary with the specific procedure, what is found at surgery, and the individual — age, prior function, other injuries and how rehabilitation goes. The protocol set by your operating surgeon governs your recovery, not this page.
Arthroscopic procedures: roughly 3-6 months to full activity
Ligament reconstruction (ACL): roughly 9-12 months to sport
Rotator cuff repair: roughly 4-6 months to full function
Hip arthroscopy: roughly 3-6 months to full activity

Do I need a referral to see Dr. Raynor? For an OHIP-covered orthopedic consultation, yes. Ask your family doctor or nurse practitioner to fax a referral to (613) 730-5484, and our team will contact you with appointment details. Self-pay and private consultations can be arranged directly.
How long is the consultation? Initial consultations are typically 45-60 minutes. Dr. Raynor takes time to assess your condition and answer your questions.
Should I bring my imaging? Yes. Bring any X-rays, MRI, or CT scans on disc, or ensure they're uploaded to a system Dr. Raynor can access.
Will I need surgery? Not necessarily. Dr. Raynor believes in conservative management when appropriate, and many conditions improve without surgery.
Can I see Dr. Raynor if I don't live in Ottawa? Yes. Patients from outside Ottawa are seen at the South Keys clinic. Out-of-province patients pay private consultation fees.
What if I need surgery? If surgery is recommended, Dr. Raynor will explain the procedure, the expected outcomes and risks, the recovery timeline, and answer your questions. Surgery is typically scheduled at a local hospital.
Can I continue training while recovering? Often, yes. Training can usually be modified to support your recovery rather than interfere with it. What's appropriate depends on your specific injury or procedure, so it's decided case by case.
Whether you're dealing with a new injury, a long-standing condition, or you want a second opinion, Dr. Raynor provides assessment and clear recommendations in an integrated clinic.
