French term or phrase: d\'où

Le handicap s?aggrave d?où une thérapie plus agressive est nécessaire sans choisir la plus agressive de toute.

There is an increase in disability to where a more aggressive treatment is needed, without choosing the most aggressive treatment.

This is a doctor's answer to a questionnaire about MS treatments (a patient scenario was given), so there are no complete sentences. But am I on the right track?
