How Dr. Wilson Approaches Your Care
Your first appointment is a full physical exam and a conversation about your medical history. No procedures are done at that visit. Dr. Wilson uses what he finds to build a plan for you, which can include injections, physical therapy, MLS laser therapy, medical massage, acupuncture or regenerative treatments.
Because the physical and massage therapists work in the same office, he stays involved at every step and checks your progress at monthly follow-ups, or more often during ongoing treatment. The team also keeps your primary care provider informed so your care stays connected.
