X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.  Most people are amazed once they their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

1. Can you help me?
2. What do you recommend that I do to get better?
3. How much is it going to cost?

After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing any x-rays or tests, Dr. Michael R. Wilkinson will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If Dr. Michael R. Wilkinson believes we can help you, we will recommend treatment and a wellness program.
