Advantage Chiropractic

Introduction: I've been in clinical practice for 16 years. I routinely successfully treat neck, back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot pain and problems. I also sees people for headaches problems, and have been effective in reducing or eliminating migraine and tension headaches. I also work on TMJ problems. I commonly sees people for sports, auto and work injuries, treating new injuries as well as chronic problems including arthritic and disc pain. I'm licensed in Maryland and Virginia as a chiropractor with physical therapy privileges, and commonly uses a wide range of techniques, including classic chiropractic adjusting, deep tissue work, mobilization and manipulation, flexion distraction traction, facilitated stretching, kinesiotape, and other physical therapy modalities. I've a special interest in ergonomics and home exercise programs as well. I'm a graduate of the National College of Chiropractic as well as having a biology degree from Vassar College. Prior to my clinical work, I worked for eight years in research on biochemistry of connective tissue, spending six years working towards a PhD in biochemistry at the Boston University School of Medicine. I completed the course work and years of research before deciding I wanted to spend my life directly helping people with pain. I enjoys cooking, science, hiking and martial arts. I enjoy meeting people with troubles and helping them get to a better place. I like to get to the root of people's pain and find a solution. I work at helping people immediately, but also giving them tools for the future so they are less likely to have problems down the road. It's tremendously rewarding to know that I've helped so many people.
