- Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Plantar FasciitisPlantar fasciitis and the pain that comes along with it can be a huge disruption to your life, especially when you consider that we take 3,000-4,000 steps per day while doing our routine tasks. If you’re an athlete or exercise regularly, you’re taking significantly more steps than that and plantar fasciitis can cause pain every time your foot hits the ground.
- Pediatric CarePhysiotherapy also helps treat a wide range of disorders; such as pediatrics, geriatrics, orthopedics, sports medicine, neurology, and cardiopulmonary physiotherapy.
- Primary Care"Normally I wouldn’t do a testimonial and have rarely paid attention to them. I was never sure they were authentic. But I volunteered to write a statement because the results of Dr. Kalkstein’s care and treatment have far exceeded what I originally expected after reading the reports of two MRIs. I am, for all practical purposes, pain free and moving easily through all daily activities including walking 1 1/2 to 2 miles most days (for cardio health). Back Issues include stenosis, scoliosis, degenerative arthritis and two herniated disks which manifested in significant lower back pain and sciatica. The orthopedist who ordered the MRI said I should consider steroid injections and, in the future, would probably be a candidate for surgery. Shortly after that diagnosis my knee swelled to almost twice its normal size as a result of arthritis and patella femoral syndrome with a baker cyst. It was extremely painful to walk or even sit for extended periods. These were not simple or minor issues and they effected my ability to perform normal daily activities without significant pain and discomfort. Dr. Kalkstein has combined targeted chiropractic adjustments, ultra-sound, electrical stimulation therapy and traditional physical therapy, which includes an at-home exercise program, in a customized plan that is continually monitored and reevaluated as needed. He employees an holistic approach complimented with traditional medical therapies when indicated. I found that his physical therapy was more rigorous but also more effective than what I received from other therapist. His PT team is a delight to work with, spending time answering questions and offering encouragement. It is easy to make appointments that fit my schedule and most routine visits are of short duration making it easy to fit continued maintenance therapy and chiropractic adjustments into my schedule. I would recommend Dr. Kalkstein to any friend or family member for treatment of acute orthopedic issues as well as for continued maintenance adjustments that provide on-going pain relief, increased mobility, and contribute to general overall health. I consider him part of my primary care team and am grateful for his considerable expertise and resulting good care."

- 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.

- UltrasoundMost people know of ultrasound in the context of monitoring a pregnancy, but we also use ultrasound in our Towson chiropractic office because it has impressive healing and regeneration capabilities. We can use ultrasound therapy to stimulate blood flow, which helps to decrease inflammation, increase tissue relaxation, and break down any internal scar tissue so that patients can have greater mobility.
- MRI"After nine months of mild chronic lower back pain that occurred after a fall in the bilge of my boat, I figured I just would have to live with it. I saw an orthopedic surgeon who x-rayed my back and suggested an MRI and physical therapy. Being an osteopathic physician, trained in the techniques of spinal manipulation and treatment I called Dr. Kalkstein's office and was promptly given an appointment. The office members were professional and concerned. Dr. Kalkstein's exam and evaluation was spot on. My lower back was manipulated as well as my mid-dorsal area which had been giving me trouble. The next morning my mid-back felt back to normal and I was surprised that several days later when awakening my lower back was totally pain-free. Cured is a word as a cardiologist I don’t use very often but in this case it applies. I chose the right Dr. and right treatment and am grateful for the pain relief."
