Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Is chiropractic care safe for children?

Yes, chiropractors with pediatric training are skilled in identifying the issues most likely to occur in children and to provide the most appropriate treatment to relieve pain and other symptoms while promoting optimal growth and development throughout childhood and adolescence. From infancy through the teenage years, pediatric patients are undergoing a period of rapid growth and development, and being able to identify potential problems early is the best way to keep growth and development on the right track. In addition, chiropractors can help children remain more active by relieving pain and promoting greater range of motion. At Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center, we use the safest, most effective approaches for pediatric chiropractic care to help every child enjoy the best possible health as they grow.

Can chiropractors identify and treat scoliosis?

Yes, chiropractors are skilled in the management of scoliosis and its symptoms. Routine spinal adjustments, postural corrections and other techniques can help relieve the aches and pain associated with scoliosis and regular office evaluations can be useful in monitoring the spine to check for changes in its curvature so the most appropriate treatment can be provided.

How often should a child see their chiropractor?

A child should visit the chiropractor any time they experience pain or discomfort in their back, arms, legs, neck, shoulders, hands or feet so symptoms don’t interfere with normal physical activity or schoolwork. Routine chiropractic visits can be helpful in identifying many musculoskeletal issues in their early stages so they can be corrected. Plus, chiropractors are also skilled in treating chronic conditions like asthma and allergies and acute illnesses by promoting better nerve signaling and circulation so natural healing processes are optimized and long-term use of medicines and antibiotics can be avoided. The medical needs of each child can vary based on their age, activities and other factors, and a skilled chiropractor can be instrumental in establishing a care routine that addresses each child’s needs as they grow.

Hi, my name is Marcie Dove, and this is my son, Woodrow. And we came to Mid Atlantic Chiropractic because Woodrow has asthma and the pediatrician wanted to continuously put steroids into him, and my husband and I didn’t agree. So, we found Doctor Rashidian, and he has been able to make it so Woodrow has gone through an entire winter and a switch into the spring and has not been sick, not had to go to the emergency room, and has not been on any steroids since we started with Doctor Rashidian. I would highly recommend coming here, and bringing your children, as well. Thank you.

So we started coming to Dr. Rashidian about two years ago. When I was pregnant, he was telling us about bringing the boys in when they were born and he was going to help them sleep at night. We were a little hesitant because they’re very small, and I had only come to the chiropractor when I was 34.

So, as it got closer to the time that I was supposed to go back to work, they were still not sleeping through the night, and we decided to give it a try. We started with Boston, and he immediately slept through the night in the first adjustment, so, of course, we made a quick appointment to have the second one, Benni, come to get adjusted. And now, they’re going to be a year old, they sleep through the night, about 10 to 12 hours, and they’re regular, and they don’t feel sick often, so we feel like the chiropractic care helps. And now we come about once a month, and I try to keep my appointments so that they sleep through the night.

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.

At The Mid Atlantic Clinic of Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Frederick office.

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing state of the art chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. Our doctors have years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.

We teach our patients special “blueprint” exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles, and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

We often find it helpful to “coach” our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each patient is a whole person, and helping them reach true health and wellness is a collaborative effort between our professionals and our patients.

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Dr. Amir Rashidian can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Cox® Technic is a spinal manipulation that relieves back pain, leg pain, neck pain, arm pain, and a host of other spinal related conditions…disc herniation, spinal stenosis, post-surgical continued pain, and pregnancy-related back pain.

Cox Technic is non-surgical, doctor-controlled, hands-on spinal manipulation performed with the patient lying on The Cox Table, a proprietary, specially designed chiropractic instrument. This table permits the effective administration of flexion-distraction and decompression adjustment and manipulation.

Well-researched and documented flexion-distraction and decompression help relieve spinal pain and return patients to their desired quality of life by …

  • dropping intradiscal pressure to as low as -192mm Hg
  • widening the spinal canal foraminal area by 28%
  • reducing pressure on the spinal nerves
  • returning motion to the spinal joints

The goal of Cox Technic is to help the spinal pain patient go from “pain” to “no pain” as quickly as possible following the “rule of 50%” which governs the Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide detailed and comprehensive screenings at our office. Contact us today to arrange a screening for yourself and your family members.

Support for your entire body

Most orthotic companies only support one arch. When only one arch is being supported the problem shifts to another part of your body. Functional orthotics support the three interconnected arches of your foot, the plantar vault. The structural support for the entire body’s equilibrium is gained from your feet’s plantar vault.

Specifically made for YOU

Unlike generic, over-the-counter orthotics, our Functional orthotics are individually designed for your unique postural problems — not just problems with your feet. We believe that correcting imbalances in your feet can properly align your spine and pelvis.
Our Functional orthotics offer more than just short-term symptom relief. They also promote whole-body wellness for your life.
