Extremity Pain & Dysfunction

When most people think of chiropractors and what they do, the spine comes to mind. This is usual and understandable. Although most all chiropractors only treat spinal conditions, Dr. Manison has extensive training in the assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of sports and extremity injuries. They are of only a few Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioners (C.C.E.P.) in the State of Maryland. In addition, Dr. Manison has training as an Applied Kinesiologist and is a Certified Golf Rehabilitation Specialist as well as being an Advanced Certified Graston Technique Practitioner. Dr. Manison is also full body Active Release Techniques (ART) certified.  There are only a few full body licensed Active Release practitioners in Maryland and Dr. Manison was the first licensed provider in the Columbia, Ellicott City, and Howard County areas.  He has vast experience with this technique.

The doctor is also Certified Kinesio® Taping Practitioners (CKTP). As the Official Baltimore Marathon Chiropractor as well as the CSE/NVL Pro Beach Volleyball Chiropractor and medical director for Corrigan Sports, Dr. Manison also has a lot of 'game day experience' treating a host of extremity injuries. He constructs functional foot orthotics in office and can apply advanced taping techniques for a host of sports injuries. Dr. Manison believes that many times extremity problems can cause spinal problems and vice versa. However, many times the problem only involves the extremity (extremities) involved. In the field of chiropractic, to effectively identify extremity problems and render the proper treatment protocol, additional specialized training is necessary.

Dr. Manison treats extremity conditions such as plantar fascitis, ankle sprains, gait abnormalities, knee pain and tracking disorders, hip dysfunction and pain, shoulder joint problems and rotator cuff tears, elbow tendinitis and tendinosis, wrist injuries such as DeQuervain's Disease, hand injuries, and more. Not unlike the spine, your extremity joints can be dysfunctional due to a host of reasons. In addition, sprains/strains are very common. Advanced training in this area of treatment allows Dr. Manison to better identify the cause of the problem and formulate an appropriate care plan. Should diagnostic imaging and/or a referral be necessary, the doctors work with excellent practitioners in many different fields of medicine.  When choosing a chiropractor / sports rehabilitation speicalist in the Columbia, Ellicott City, Howard County, MD area, you can be sure that Dr. Manison offers top notch care!
