Posture is a learned behavior, and most people have plenty of “bad” posture habits that contribute to nerve impingement, inflammation, pain and other symptoms. At Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center, the doctors help patients from Frederick, MD, “retrain” their spine with posture correction treatments aimed at preventing serious issues and relieving pain.

Chiropractic For Pain and Posture Correction

For many people, we guage their quality of life on our ability to move freely and without pain. If you have an injury, you tend compensate by adjusting your posture to support movement through the pain and discomfort.
Over time our posture gets impacted, and our joints, muscles, and biomechanics begin to change causing posture misalignment and referred pain in locations other than the root cause.
Fortunately, at Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center, we correct bad posture habits that contribute to nerve impingement, inflammation, and other painful symptoms. The postural correction uses different techniques based on the patient’s symptoms and requirements. The treatments are also customized to suit each patient helping them improve musculoskeletal health without relying on medicine or sugery. Our posture correction specialist helps ‘retrain’ the patient’s spine and offers treatments to correct their posture, preventing serious issues from developing and affecting their quality of life.

What is posture correction?

Also called postural adjustment, posture correction includes all the techniques that help people of all ages improve the way they sit, stand and move so they can support better spinal and joint health and avoid pain and other issues that can have an impact on mobility. Slumping while standing or sitting, spending long hours sitting or standing, and hunching over a computer or cell phone for extended periods of time can all take a toll on the body, resulting in nerve compressions, inflammation, irritation, joint dysfunction and pain. Posture correction uses a varieties of techniques to help people strengthen their spine and adopt better posture habits so they can avoid these issues and enjoy better health and pain-free movement.

What kinds of techniques are used during a postural adjustment?

Postural correction relies on a variety of techniques depending on the patient’s symptoms and needs. Adjustments are very flexible and treatment can be customized to suit the needs of the individual patient, helping patients of all ages improve their musculoskeletal and overall health without the need for medications and other aggressive treatments. Correction begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s spine and the way they walk, stand and move to identify problems and determine the best options for optimal results. Treatment options can include spinal adjustments to realign the spine and reduce nerve impingements, therapeutic massage to treat trigger points or muscle “knots” that can restrict normal movement, and lifestyle guidance to help patients learn how to adopt healthier posture at work and during other activities so they can “retrain” their spine and back over time.

How many treatments will I need?

The number and type of treatments will depend on the patient’s specific needs, symptoms and treatment objectives. Poor posture is a learned behavior, and learning to correct those habits can take time. Routine office visits and spinal adjustments combined with prescribed home exercises can help patients of all ages learn new and improved habits to reduce pain and improve overall health and wellness.

Joyce: My name’s Joyce Archer, and I’m here because our son, Joshua and his wife Maegan, recommended that we come. My son had always kind of walked like this, and he and Maegan were working for a couple six months or more with “Doctor R”, I call him. And I’ve noticed that he can stand up straighter, he had much better health. An incredible walking testimony for both of them. And he actually gained two inches on his height when he discovered the curvature of his spine.

It’s something that I’ve been wanting to do my whole life, is stand up straight. When I was 16, I was in an automobile accident. And I’m 66 now, so that’s exactly 50 years. And I broke the windshield with my head, even though I had a seat-belt on. The tree was where I could touch it. I just put the whole car around a tree, and I looked through a broken windshield. And I had migraines forever after that. God healed me of the migraines, but I always had a sensation I just couldn’t ever stand up straight. No matter what I did. I would exercise and pray all my life, “Lord, let me stand up straight.”

And so I realized when I was out taking a walk the day after my first treatment, that I could stand up straight with no effort at all. And I thought the expense of coming here, and the time of coming here, was worth just that one thing. To be able to stand up straight. Like I am now is just adjusted, without that oppressive feeling of being pulled back down. I had no idea it was my spine. No idea at all.

So I’m grateful to this team and to the doctor. But I’m especially thankful for my son and his wife, who encouraged us to come. And I look forward to just getting in really better health all the way around. And it’s just like a mountain of oppression has gone off me, by being able to do something I’ve wanted to do my whole life, which is just to stand up straight. Like I’m standing up straight now, that’s what it looks like to you. But before, it would just feel like I would go like that immediately. Now I don’t have that feeling anymore, so I’m free.

Woman: Thank you, Joyce.

Our family has a long term relationship with MAC. Our needs were addressed directly in our first visits and we were given an detailed program to follow.

The Mid Atlantic Clinic of Chiropractic continuously strives to provide its customers with holistic chiropractic wellness. Specializing in a range of different chiropractic techniques, our services can be utilized for various medical conditions. This includes posture correction and chiropractor treatment for migraines, back pain, sciatica, and pediatric chiropractic.

Our services have been carefully designed to incorporate state-of-the-art techniques and newer methods to provide safe and effective results. Taking a personalized approach to each client, we work with a set of “blueprint” techniques that are modified on a case-to-case basis. This strategy ensures patients benefit from tried and tested treatment methods while targeting their unique needs.  Since every condition impacts patients differently, our highly versatile approach provides consistent results across clientele and the severity of symptoms.

Here is a brief description of all the services offered at Mid Atlantic Clinic of Chiropractic:

Chiropractic Care:

This includes advanced spinal corrective treatment to address a range of issues, including leg pain, back pain, and spine misalignment. Our chiropractic care utilizes special manipulative therapy techniques that can help increase the range of motion, promote balance, realign the spine, and reduce inflammation. Chiropractic care can be beneficial for pregnant women suffering from back pain. It can also help athletes and veterans with injury rehabilitation.

Corrective Exercises and Spinal Rehabilitation Program:

Depending on their needs and requirements, clients may be assigned different techniques and exercises for faster recovery. However, corrective exercises and techniques are commonly used for spine rehabilitation and other back-related conditions. With over 30-40% correction rate, these exercises are easy to follow and can be conveniently carried out in the comfort of your home. In addition to spinal rehabilitation, these exercises are designed to help with muscle and connective tissue misalignment.

Cox Flexion Distraction:

Cox Flexion Distraction is a popular manipulative technique effective for chiropractic treatments. This hands-on spinal manipulation technique relieves back, neck and leg pain and severe spinal conditions. The Cox Flexion Distraction technique decompresses the spine through gentle stretching or applying traction to the lower spine. It is a non-surgical treatment that can also restore the range of motion in the joints and muscles, promoting flexibility and better posture.

Lifestyle Advice:

In addition to corrective and manipulative techniques for back relief, our chiropractic clinic also provides lifestyle coaching. Patients are informed and guided on avoiding specific activities that may make their symptoms worse. The service ensures patients can lead happy and fulfilling life without compromising their quality of living.

Nutritional Counseling:

Nutritional counseling services provide individualized dietary plans catering to patients' nutritional needs. This includes everything from a strictly structured diet for optimal recovery to prescription supplements to combat deficiencies.

Spinal & Postural Screenings:

Several reasons may contribute to posture and spinal issues. For effective results, we utilize screenings to reveal the overall functioning of muscles in alignment with the bones. This can help identify root problems and provides an indication of the overall condition of your spine.

Foot Levelers:

In cases where postural problems are caused due to a misaligned spine or pelvis, we also provide custom-made functional orthotics to correct imbalances in the feet. Unlike over-the-counter foot levels, our orthotics are designed to promote whole-body wellness.

    Due to the high volume of requests, the specific time you requested may not be available, but we'll work with you to find a time that fits your schedule.
