Dr. David B. Fishkin, D.C., MPH, a practicing chiropractor for over 30 years, combines chiropractic medicine and physical therapy rehabilitation to achieve the very best outcomes for pain and improved function. Traditional medical treatment occupies an important place in healthcare, and its appropriate use is indispensable. However, there are many instances in which standard medical care is insufficient and counterproductive.
Many of the conditions that I address respond much more favorably to the combination of treatments that are provided at Fishkin Center than to prescription medications, nonprescription medications, and surgical interventions. Patients who are suffering, and seeking solutions, often resort to overuse of medications or submit to surgeries that leave them no better than before, or, in many cases, as the record shows, worse than before.
My philosophy is to begin with the least aggressive and least invasive treatments, with the fewest side effects, and progress as needed.

I live in Maryland with my beautiful family, and have an office in Rockville MD, but I'm a native New Yorker.
I obtained a bachelor's degree from State University of New York (SUNY) Stonybrook and a Doctor of Chiropractic from the New York Chiropractic College.
In 2008 I completed a master's in Public Health at the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services.
Come into my office, ease down into a chair, and say to me, 'I hurt', and I'll know how you feel.
I struggled with lower back pain from the age of 13.

It's not possible to know if a treatment will be curative, whether mine or another's, but in many cases my approach enables me to exercise more and better control of the problem, and thus a better chance of resolving it completely.
In some cases surgery is the right path to take, but it must always be the last choice, not the first.
Spinal surgery, for example, involves a number of unforeseen and uncontrollable aspects that do not apply to other types of surgery, which sometimes makes it difficult to achieve a cure.

As a chiropractor, I consult, examine, and diagnose patients the same as your other doctors, but instead of focusing on pharmaceutical and surgical solutions, I utilize specialized chiropractic training appropriate to the given condition.
Chiropractors are educated in the same basic sciences as our medical school counterparts but focus our treatments on manual therapy - a combination of manipulation techniques (spine and limbs) and physical therapy approaches - to resolve the health concerns our patients bring to our offices.

Spinal manipulation is the key to chiropractic care.
Chiropractic reflects a specialized type of spinal manipulative procedure that chiropractors spend years perfecting that is different than all other types.
The goal of chiropractic spinal manipulation is to correct spinal joint dysfunction that often leaves the bony structures jammed and locked.
If left uncorrected, this can lead to pain, restricted movement, and arthritic changes that can become permanent.
Chiropractic spinal manipulation achieves this goal more comfortably and more safely than other types of manipulation.
