About Our Practice

Serving Edgewater, Annapolis & Anne Arundel County

Our Story

Maryland Chiropractic & Physical Medicine was built on a simple idea: people in Edgewater and the Annapolis area deserve honest, effective, patient-first care for pain — without being rushed, upsold, or handed a prescription and sent on their way.

Today our practice combines board-certified chiropractic care with physical medicine therapies, licensed massage therapy, cupping, and advanced PulseWave shock wave technology. That range matters, because no two patients — and no two injuries — are the same.

Our community has noticed. We’re proud winners of the Capital Readers’ Choice Award and Best of the Bay, and even prouder of our 5.0-star Google rating — earned one patient at a time.
