- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeCarpal Tunnel Syndrome is a painful condition that happens when the median nerve in your wrist is compressed by swelling, often due to an underlying medical condition. It is one of the most common conditions affecting the nerves. Traditionally there were few options to deal with this problem and those available, such as surgery and medication, were invasive and expensive. Fortunately, chiropractors in Gaithersburg MD have success treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with a more conservative and gentle approach. If you are wondering whether your wrist pain is caused by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and want more details on the alternative treatments available from Gaithersburg MD chiropractors, then read on.

- Mental HealthRight to Inspect and Copy. You have the right to inspect and copy your health information, with limited exceptions. To access your medical information, you must submit a written request detailing what information you want access to, whether you want to inspect it or get a copy of it, and if you want a copy, your preferred form and format. We will provide copies in your requested form and format if it is readily producible, or we will provide you with an alternative format you find acceptable, or if we can’t agree and we maintain the record in an electronic format, your choice of a readable electronic or hardcopy format. We will also send a copy to any other person you designate in writing. We will charge a reasonable fee which covers our costs for labor, supplies, postage, and if requested and agreed to in advance, the cost of preparing an explanation or summary. We may deny your request under limited circumstances. If we deny your request to access your child's records or the records of an incapacitated adult you are representing because we believe allowing access would be reasonably likely to cause substantial harm to the patient, you will have a right to appeal our decision. If we deny your request to access your psychotherapy notes, you will have the right to have them transferred to another mental health professional.
- UltrasoundThis is a relatively new technology that has produced some remarkable results for me since I began using it 6 years ago. It works on a cellular level to both speeds the healing process in injured tissues and provide pain relief. Because it can penetrate much deeper than ultrasound or electric stimulation, it can help in many situations that would otherwise be untreatable with common therapies. Disc and other deep spinal problems generally respond very well.
- SciaticaThe physical stress of pregnancy can lead to a great deal of discomfort. It's common for women to visit a chiropractic office in Gaithersburg MD regularly for low back pain, as well as other related issues, such as sciatica, leg cramps and constipation. This can lead to difficulty performing daily tasks as well as difficulties in labor.
- WhiplashMany people will seek out chiropractic care in Gaithersburg MD after having an auto injury. A common auto injury, whiplash, occurs when the head and neck are whipped from back to front, similar to how a whip is cracked. The majority of car accidents are rear-ended collisions with whiplash being a common result. Whiplash can also occur from other kinds of trauma, accidents, abuse, and falls.
- Sports MedicineThe shoulder and hip joints are two of the most mobile and frequently used joints in the body. They are also a frequent site of injury and pain for many people we see in our Gaithersburg MD chiropractic clinic. From overuse to sports injuries, the causes are many, and the results range from slight discomfort to complete immobilization. The following article from Clark Chiropractic Center gives information on some of the most common issues that lead to shoulder and leg pain, as well as a description of how chiropractic adjustments can help to reverse it.
- Physical TherapyDuring your initial appointment, Dr. Ed will address your immediate health concerns, and conduct a thorough examination to determine which treatment options are best for you. Following your initial visit, you will be offered an individualized program designed using a combination of chiropractic treatments, physical therapy, and rehabilitative services. When not seeing patients, Dr. Ed enjoys spending time with family. His favorite pastimes are surfing and bike riding.

- Manual TherapyMy approach is to restore normal alignment, motion, and muscle tone and function through a combination of treatment approaches. Usually, these include manual joint manipulation or mobilization (the stereotypical chiropractic “adjustment†), various types of soft tissue/massage work, stretches, exercises, and various modalities... such as cold laser, ultrasound, or electric muscle stimulation. Results are usually good and relatively rapid.
