Follow-Up and Ongoing Care
If you move forward with medical marijuana treatment:
You may need follow-up visits to monitor how you respond, adjust your overall care plan, and ensure the treatment remains safe and appropriate.
We encourage you to share any side effects, concerns, or changes in your symptoms so we can adjust your care as needed.
Medical marijuana is treated as one tool in a broader plan — not the only solution. We may also recommend lifestyle changes, physical therapy, counseling, or other medical treatments depending on your condition.
