Pain and Posture Correction Clinic

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.

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.
