Dr. Michael Dorn Announces Baltimore and Hampden's Newest Chiropractic Clinic

Hello patients, friends, and neighbors! I am very excited to write about the new chiropractic office on Hickory Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. As many of you know we have been helping serve the Hampden, Baltimore City, Roland Park, Pikesville, Downtown Baltimore, Towson, Mount Washington, and surrounding areas for the past ten years. We have helped thousands of people who have been in pain suffering from sciatica, low back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel, shoulder pain, knee pain, headaches, muscle pain, muscle spasms, leg pain and migraines and many other symptoms.

Our new location is conveniently located off of I-83 and gives us the opportunity to serve you better. We have a much larger office with open space and lots of windows to help create the perfect atmosphere while you are receiving care. It is a very quiet, professional, but not too stuffy environment. We have the latest equipment upgrades and new equipment to be sure we are providing you the best care and opportunity to get well naturally.

Our latest addition to the practice is a new hydro-massage table and an intersegmental traction table to help relieve those sore aching muscles. Our muscle stimulation equipment has been upgraded to newer, more effective models. We also have reconditioned our lumbar traction and cervical traction equipment. Adjustment beds are the chiropractors tool and they have been re-upholstered and a new activator adjusting tool and impulse adjusting tool are new and in use to be sure you get the type of adjustment for your condition. Does this sound like a major upgrade? Yes, absolutely!

I am also proud to say the staff you know and love are still here and ready to serve your health needs in a caring, gentle, and professional manner. Lastly, there is plenty of parking in front of the building and a huge parking lot in the rear of the building so we always have a place for you. With all these changes I also wanted to be more specific and reach out to not only my Hampden Community but all of the surrounding areas.

In addition, I wanted the people of Baltimore to know we are the specialists to relieve them of their back pain and body pain so a new name was in order. The most logical choice was Baltimore Back and Pain Center! So I invite all patients old and new to come see our new chiropractic office. If you have had care before come in, say hello and get a free check up and hydro-massage. New patients are entitled to a free consult and hydro-massage to give them an opportunity to see if chiropractic can help.

I would like to end just by saying thank you to all that have entrusted us to take care of your health needs and we promise to continue to grow and improve our services here in Baltimore so that you may get the best chiropractic and physical therapy care available.

Yours in Health,
Dr. Michael A. Dorn Jr.
Baltimore Back and Pain Center
