5 Things You Should Know About Choosing Your Baltimore Chiropractor


When you are sick and in pain you're looking for a chiropractor you can trust and deliver the best care possible. Here are 5 quick tips you should consider when choosing a chiropractor.

1) Can you receive an appointment the same day? If your suffering in pain or are sick and your now ready to get your health back you shouldn't have to wait two weeks or more for an appointment. At Johnson Chiropractic and Rehabilitation I pride myself on being able to get patients in the same day. Why suffer for a minute longer if it's avoidable.

2) Are there other services available besides just chiropractic? When you have any type of a health condition you want to have as many options as possible at your disposal to help return your body to true health. You want to make sure that who ever you see has all the tools necessary. In my office I love the fact that I offer not only the Best Chiropractic Care that you can find but also full service Physical Therapy, Massage, and I offer Natural Solutions to Weight Loss, Type 2 Diabetes, and many other health conditions as well.

3) What testing will be done to make sure my condition can be treated with chiropractic? Whenever you see any doctor it is very important that you receive the most accurate diagnosis possible. If you need x-rays are they on site or will you need to go elsewhere? If you need an MRI will the doctor give you the referral that you require? When it comes to patients that I treat the first thing that I do is take an accurate history of your condition. After that a thorough examination is performed and the imaging studies taken will be determined based on those facts. All x-rays are done on site and an MRI can typically be completed off site any where from the same day to 3 days based on availability. Don't guess about your health get proper testing. Testing early almost always leads to better results.

4) How quickly can you have your results? I'm always prepared to review my findings with my patients the following day. This is very important to be able to attack your health condition as quickly as possible. The most important commodity that any of has is time so let's not waste any.

5) Is it affordable? Today most health plans offer some type of chiropractic coverage. Make sure all costs and methods of payments are explained up front so you don't accrue a large unexpected bill. I accept all major health plans. You can even call my office for a free benefits check so you'll know ahead of time what is covered and what isn't. I don't like surprises nor should you.

I hope you found these tips helpful. If I can ever be of service to you please feel free to give me a call at 410 744 1233 or check out my website and shoot me an e-mail if you have any questions. www.MyPainReliefCenter.com

Your Baltimore Chiropractor Can Help You Get Quick Relief From Back Pain!!


Back pain is one of the major causes for people to seek care from any health care provider. It causes millions of people each day to miss work and to be limited in everything else that they want to spend their valuable time doing. You do not need to be one of them. There are many things that can be done to get you back into the game of life as quickly as possible.

1) When you first injure your back the very first thing you should reach for is ice. Ice will help remove the inflammation and cool the injured tissues. Just as if you sprained your ankle you wouldn't put it in a tub of hot water you would want to ice it down, your back is no different.
2) If the pain is not to severe you can do simple stretches to free it up. One of the most over looked muscle groups in regards to back pain are the hamstrings "the muscles in the back of your thigh". If you lie on your back and pull your knees to your chest that will allow you to stretch the back muscles first. Then pull your leg back with it straight up in the air to stretch the hamstrings. You will be surprised how much this can help.
3) Finally Biofreeze works wonders to help relieve the pain and inflammation in the muscles. If you would like a free sample please call my office and my staff would be happy to send some to you. Call 410 744 1233 for the free samples.

I hope these three quick tips helped.

If your pain is more severe or these tips are not giving you the relief you were hoping for please call my office for a Free Consultation. We Accept Most Insurance Plans and get you back feeling great ASAP. 410 744 1233 or www.MyPainReliefCenter.com

Your Baltimore Chiropractor Can Help you get Quick Relief from Neck Pain


Neck pain can be a debilitating condition that can stop you in your tracks from getting anything accomplished. In today's modern society we are constantly sitting in front of our desktops or looking down at our laptops trying to get more and more things done in the least amount of time possible. This leads to us acquiring bad habits and makes your neck feel like a broken cork screw that been over used on New Year's Eve.


So what can we do??


1) Make sure your workstation is set up so you're not twisting your neck every time your trying to complete a project or return a few e-mails.


2) I have a product called BioFreeze that my patients just love to help decrease the aches and pains in the muscles. Call my office if you would like a free sample. 410 744 1233


3) Neck stretches work well to help decrease the muscle stiffness and tightness. One simple stretch is to grab the bottom of your chair with your right hand and put your left hand on top of your head and pull it to the left very gently. That should give you a good stretch and you only need to hold it for about 5 seconds and repeat 10 to 30 times. Just repeat for the opposite side.

4) Call my office if none of the above work for a Free Consultation to help you get relief fast. We do accept most insurance plans.


I hoped that helped.


Yours in Better Health,


Dr J
