if not in another way
If not in another way…
In my language, it is very often used, therefore I don’t know what could be said instead of it.
I’ve got only two special search result on the net:
-if not in another way, then by force
-if not in another way, then in such a way that…
In my language, innumerable situations would require its usage, actually I could say anything, for e.g.:
You must speak with him by all means. If not in another way, go to him.
If not in another way, I’ll record the match, but I must see it.
I won’t catch a cold. If not in another way, I’ll put on that ugly coat.
All these are something like if there’s no better solution, then… But it’s not about only solution, but in other cases it is similar to “at least,” just see:
All of these objects are similar to a lemon, if not in another way, with(?) their colours. (There are some objects, which with(?) there forms too, that is why I don’t use “at least.”)

"If nothing else" (and derived phrases) serves much the same function in English, though I don't think we use it as often as you apparently do.
