Each chiropractor graduates with the same degree: doctorate of chiropractic (D.C.). As in medicine, chiropractors can specialize in many different areas. It is the specialization of the chiropractor that allows for differentiation in the field and best enables him/her to provide the highest level of care.

In addition to practicing most all of the 'standard' chiropractic techniques, Dr. Manison is also certified in some of the most specialized and advanced techniques in the field today. Dr. Manison is one of only a few chiropractors in Maryland who is a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (C.C.E.P.) as well as a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner® (CCSP®.). These high level achievements demonstrate that Dr. Manison has specific advanced training for the treatment of extremity and sports injuries
