We provide spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing “state of the art” chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable, and more effective than ever before. In fact, it is the safest treatment available. Our malpractice premiums are the lowest of all the types of treatment available! As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Dr. James Douglas Gerard has 40 years of training, expertise, and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. We also treat all extremities that have moveable joints such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is designed to treat intervertebral discs. The results are nothing short of astounding! Whether you have: swollen, herniated, or prolapsed discs, this technique is for you. Many, many of our patients have been told “you need surgery or that nothing can be done”. This is the safest, most effective treatment available. I have practiced this technique for over 20 years with near-miraculous results!

At Gerard Chiropractic, we teach our patients how to perform special “blueprint” exercises that can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. We use the Maryland Spine Institute exercise and rehab protocols. These are performed at the office as well as at home. You can actually do them at work and get paid. Physiotherapy includes HWave stimulation and ultrasound. Ultrasound is extremely effective for chronic foot problems including plantar fasciitis.

Lifestyle advice is always provided. “Let’s face it, we can always learn something about wellness”. We will discuss the “Five Keys to Better Health”. Those Keys are Diet, Rest, Exercise, Positive Mental Attitude, and Stress Reduction.

There are many credible studies that have been recently published concerning posture and its effects on overall health.

We are able to do it without the need for x-rays. No longer will you or your children have to look like QUESTION MARKS. You will look like EXCLAMATION POINTS!
