Background from lascruceschiropractic.com.
Dr. Wilson's focus is figuring out the root cause of a problem: a careful history and exam, imaging such as x-rays or an MRI when it helps, and a referral to another doctor or a surgeon when chiropractic isn't the right answer.
His office follows a simple rule: test, re-test and explain what they find. As treatment changes things, he re-checks, looks for muscle imbalances, and may add exercises or physical therapy.
At 69, he tells patients in their 60s and 70s that stiffness doesn't have to be accepted as part of getting older. He sees his patients as friends and says what makes him happy is seeing them get back to doing what they love.

In his words
Verbatim from his Episode 03 interview.
I pride myself in trying to help you figure out what is the problem. What's the root cause?Dr. Joseph Wilson, Episode 03
You might treat them a couple of times and it'll actually change a little bit. So you need to retest it and see what's going on.Dr. Joseph Wilson, Episode 03
I always tell everybody, my patients are my friends.Dr. Joseph Wilson, Episode 03
