Pain Treatments for Fraser Patients
Regenerative Medicine (PRP and Prolotherapy)
PRP injections and prolotherapy help worn knees, shoulders, tendons and ligaments heal without surgery. They are among the most requested treatments by Fraser patients. See all regenerative medicine options.
Sciatica and Back Pain Treatment
For leg pain from a pinched nerve, we combine in-office nerve testing, ultrasound-guided injections and physical therapy. Learn about our sciatica treatment.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections relax painful muscle knots in the neck, shoulders and back that cause tension headaches and referred pain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
For chronic back or leg pain that has not responded to other care, spinal cord stimulation starts with a trial so you can test the relief before committing.
Physical Therapy
One-on-one physical therapy rebuilds strength, flexibility and balance so relief lasts and injuries do not come back.
MLS Laser Therapy
MLS laser therapy is a painless, drug-free treatment that reduces pain and inflammation in joints, tendons and nerves.
Diagnostic Tests
EMG and nerve conduction studies are done right in our office without sedation, and we coordinate MRI and X-rays, so your plan starts from an accurate diagnosis.
Meet Our Board-Certified Physician
Our team is led by Dr. Stephen Wilson, a double board-certified physician with more than 25 years of experience in pain medicine. Dr. Wilson focuses on finding the underlying cause of pain and treating it without surgery, so patients get lasting relief and better function rather than another prescription.
Our Pain Management Process
Comprehensive Initial Assessment
Your first visit is a thorough 1-hour intake: your history, a hands-on exam and a review of any imaging, so we understand where the pain really comes from.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Dr. Wilson explains what is causing your pain and lays out a written plan that combines the treatments most likely to help, with clear costs before anything starts.
Administering Your Treatment
Treatment happens at our St. Clair Shores office. Almost all injections are ultrasound-guided for accuracy, and therapy visits are scheduled around your work and family.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
We track your pain, movement and daily function at each visit and stay reachable between visits. Call us and a person answers, usually within 3 rings.
Adjusting for Long-Term Success
As you improve, we adjust the plan, taper treatments and give you a home program so the progress holds.
