Spinal decompression is FDA cleared and has been clinically proven to be successful with the pain and symptoms associated with herniated discs and/or bulging discs … even if you have been suffering for 10, 20, or 30+ years… even after failed surgery. The BEST part about it is there are absolutely no documented side effects! Research indicates the disc is responsible for a significant number of Lumbar (lower back) and Cervical (neck) pain syndromes, particularly with symptoms (pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, spasm, etc.) which radiate into the extremities (buttocks, legs, & feet- from the lumbar spine, and shoulders, arms, & hands- from the cervical spine). Compression of the spinal discs increases intradiscal pressure leading to annular compromise and possible extrusion of nuclear material. In plain English: When a disc becomes injured &/or degenerated, the outer rings weaken, the disc flattens and then bulges out (toward the spinal cord &/or nerves) becoming the primary cause of pain and other symptoms (numbness, tingling, weakness, spasm…). Spinal decompression therapy in conjunction with specific treatments (depending on your particular condition) effectively relieves the pain and disability resulting from disc injury and degeneration, by actually repairing the damaged discs and reversing dystrophic changes in nerves (allowing the nerves to heal). Studies verify the significant reduction of intradiscal pressures into the negative range (to approximately minus 150 mm/HG) which result in the non-surgical decompression of the disc and nerve root. Conventional traction has never demonstrated a reduction of intradiscal pressure to negative ranges; on the contrary - many traction devices actually increased intradiscal pressure, most likely due to reflex muscle spasm. The spinal decompression table is designed to apply distraction tension to the patient’s spine without eliciting reflex paravertebral muscle contractions. By significantly reducing intradiscal pressure, spinal decompression promotes retraction of the herniation into the disc and facilitates influx of oxygen, proline and other substrates. The promotion of fibro elastic activity stimulates repair and inhibits leakage of irritant sulphates and carboxylates from the nucleus. The most recent studies (sought to correlate clinical success with MRI evidence of disc repair in the annulus, nucleus, facet joint and foramina as a result of treatment) found that the disc herniation reduced as high as 90%, with healing of the outer rings (the Annulus Fibrosis) in all cases. In Short: Spinal Decompression addresses problems with the SPINAL DISCS, relieves your pain, allows you to get back to enjoying your life… FAST & without risky drugs or surgery!

Introduction
Since 1967, more than 2,000 clinical studies have been published worldwide on Cold Lasers. In fact, the proof of the tremendous healing potential of the Cold Laser FINALLY was put to the test… the outcome was FDA Approval in February of 2002! Cold Laser was initially used to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Research boasts over a 70% success rate with Cold Laser treating Carpal Tunnel. Compare this to the “other” alternative (surgery), which has a dismal success rate (~ 33%) and it’s plain to see why this BEGAN as the “Carpal Tunnel Treatment”. Tons of research has since show the tremendous healing power of the Cold Laser for many OTHER conditions as well. Such as: Rotator cuff, ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, tennis elbow, golfers elbow, muscle strains, etc.
The BEST thing about Cold Laser (besides it takes away your pain and HEALS the injured tissue), is that it doesn’t hurt at all. In fact, most patients report feeling only a slight tingling or warmth… if anything at all! In Short: The cold laser addresses the SOFT TISSUES (Nerves, tendons, ligaments, muscles, etc.) and it takes away pain & swelling and actually HEALS injured tissue WITHOUT the major potential side effects and poor success rates of risky drugs and surgery!
Physical Therapy addresses many conditions such as: Low-back pain, neck pain, arthritis, fractures, rotator cuff injuries, carpal tunnel, strains & sprains, whiplash, etc. Physical Therapy addresses the above injuries and conditions by having a licensed Physical Therapist perform a thorough evaluation of the patient’s ROM (range of motion), strength, muscle performance, posture, functional ability (work, home…), coordination, balance, etc. The physical therapist will then construct a specific treatment plan to address these areas of deficit. Physical Therapy utilizes modalities such as cold laser, cryotherapy (ice), moist heat, electrical muscle stimulation, TENS (Transcutaneous Muscle Stimulation), and topical analgesics (to name a few). Physical Therapists also may utilize soft tissue mobilization, posture training, ergonomics training, and biomechanics training, but the CORE of Physical Therapy is clearly based around EXERCISE. The goal of Physical Therapy is to help the individual restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and health, and regain full function in the community or workplace. In Short: Physical Therapy primarily addresses the MUSCLES and the individual’s general FUNCTION.
Chiropractic is a natural method of health care that treats the causes of physical problems rather than just the symptoms. Chiropractic is based on a simple but powerful premise: With a healthy lifestyle and normally functioning nerves and spine, your body is better able to heal itself. That’s because the spinal cord, which is protected by the spine, is the main pathway of your nervous system. It controls movement, feeling, and function throughout your body. Scientific research is showing what millions of chiropractic patients already know:
In Short: Chiropractic addresses the SPINAL JOINTS and promotes proper spinal mobility and therefore proper neurological flow from the brain to every cell in the body. Chiropractic is not only very successful with eliminating neck & back pain, it also helps the individual be healthier overall.
If you are seeking orthotics because of problem bunions or plantar warts, you need to see a podiatrist. They are the best doctors to fit you for those. If you are seeking orthotics because of problem Biomechanical Alterations, relax (&/or rejoice), you have found the right place.
The Goal of custom orthotics are to provide a proper foundation for your feet and help stabilize your ENTIRE body. Don’t just go to ANYONE who offers orthotics! Orthotics have evolved over the years. To this point, there were basically three generations of orthotics:
Do not make the mistake of getting the WRONG kind of orthotics like #1 or #2 immediately above, unless you suffer with bunions and plantar warts which are the reason you are considering orthotics. In Short: Properly constructed, custom-fit orthoticsaddress the mechanics of the FEET, which are the foundation for your entire body! Our custom fit orthotics are not only comfortable, but then help correct many biomechanical problems of the body.
Natural Medication & Nutrition
In this fast-paced world we live in, we want result and we want them FAST. Which is why people many turn to prescription medications. They may make us FEEL different (perhaps even better) in a short period of time. The overwhelming concern is the SIGNIFICANT side effects of the internal organs (stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, pancreas, heart, lungs, brain, etc) when medication is taken for an extended period of time (some sources consider “extended” to be more than a month!). Natural Medication (& Nutritional Supplementation) offers a much better (& healthier) alternative, primarily due to the fact that Natural products do NOT have the same risks of side effects that prescription (& over the counter) drugs have. When choosing to take Natural Medications (& Nutritional Supplements) the Key is QUALITY. There are many companies that recognize the shift toward natural cures and make supplements and make huge profits. You may see many of them at local pharmacies and nutritional stores (if not on the TV & radio). The problem with these are that they are NOT Physician Grade, and not monitored for their content. In other words, the quality and potency of your supplements are completely random, and commonly ineffective.
In Short: Natural Medication (& Nutritional Supplements) address nutritional deficits and, in many cases, can significantly aid in your healing process. They are far better for you to utilize in most cases, and Anabolic Laboratories produces the best products available.
Conditions which may require Supports, Pillows, &/or Braces:
In Short: Proper Supports, Pillows, &/or Braces are crucial to allow for the proper healing of many conditions. At the Maryland Spine Institute, we take every precaution to make certain you get the highest quality care you deserve, and that includes any Supports, Pillows, &/or Braces to allow for proper physiologically healing of YOUR condition.

Non-surgical spinal
decompression therapy is an effective treatment for: 
Cold Laser Therapy is
one of the most amazing advanced medical technologies to surface in the last 20
years. Cold laser Therapy utilizes the light that we see is the visible part of
the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Just picture a rainbow. The light
that is visible to us is a specific range of colors in that spectrum, but not
the whole spectrum. 
The Cold Laser is a MAJOR part of the arsenal for many professional sports
physicians due to the tremendous healing power. Generally speaking the Cold
Laser:
Physical Therapy is a
well respected and accepted treatment option utilized by the medical community
for a variety of injuries, such as: Auto accidents, sports injuries, work
injures, wear & tear injuries, etc.
According to Lance
Armstrong in his book Every Second Counts: “The team wasn’t just
the riders. It was the mechanic, masseurs, chefs, soigneurs, and doctors. But
the most important man on the team may have been our chiropractor… If you judged
the most important man in the Postal team by the foot traffic in and out of the
his door, then it was [the chiropractor]. Without him, we knew we’d never make
it to Paris.”
● Spinal
manipulation is more effective than other treatments for low back pain. 
Foot Orthotics are
primarily made for 2 reasons:
Orthotics are
necessary when the arch of the foot pronates (drops, falls, flattens…), and the
mechanics of the foot rotates the lower leg, and the upper leg. The pelvis is
also torqued and one side “drops” (see picture). This can cause serious
mechanical stress throughout the joints of the lower extremities, the pelvic and
the spine (even up to the neck!).
biomechanically). The
orthotic is placed under the patients foot while they are standing, and the
foot is placed in the proper biomechanical position, then the orthotic is
built up to the patients arch of the foot. These orthotics not only correctly
address the biomechanical problems, but they are very comfortable and the in
most cases, patient walks out with the orthotics the very same day.
In
the 21st century, our nutritional intake is at an all time low. Between Fast
Food, Junk Food, Processed Food and Preserved Food our bodies are FAR from
getting the nutritional support it needs to maintain adequate health. When we
add pain &/or injury to the nutritional deficit it’s a disaster. Healing is
significantly delayed, if healing even occurs at all.
We
have a solution. We are proud to be an approved distributor of Anabolic
Laboratories products. They offer the finest quality of Natural Medications (&
Nutritional Supplements) available. These are Natural products that can help
