First of all, "WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE!" ... and "THANK YOU" for taking the time to visit us!
We hope you find this virtual portal into our practice both informative and exciting. We recognize that you have a choice in healthcare and that chiropractic care is less familiar than traditional medical care. Therefore, we have construcuted our website with you, the patient, in mind.
It is our intention that the information presented for you is clear and understandable. While chiropractic care is new to many people, it is our opinion that any well-written explanation of chiropractic care should utilize terms and ideas that everyone is familiar with and can understand. We look forward to meeting you soon!
About the doctor...
Dr. Kibby has been practicing chiropractic care and physical rehabilitation since 1988. During this time, he has worked with thousands of patients, many with very similar problems that you may have, and has accumulated a wealth of valuable knowledge and proven clinical experience. He has worked diligently to kept abreast of new clinical updates and scientific advancements in the field of neuromusculoskeletal care. Simply put, he has helped over 7,000 patients suffering with headaches, neck pain, back pain and other joint and muscle problems, feel better and live a more enjoyable, active life. And, he does this without the use of drugs or surgery, but with uniquely skilled and gentle hands-on treatment and effective exercise protocols.
About our office...
We are very conveniently located on Priest Bridge Drive in Crofton, MD, just two blocks from the Route 3 and Route 450 intersection. We treat patients who live throughout the surrounding areas of Bowie, Annapolis, Gambills, Millersville, Severn, Piney Orchard, Waugh Chapel, Fort Meade, Mitchellville, Davidsonville, and Upper Marlboro. The majority of our patients are referred to us by local medical practitioners, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, massage therapists, fitness trainers, and, of course, our many satisfied patients!
About our patients...
While many of our patients come to us for relief from headache, neck pain and back pain, we also accept patients with shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle problems. Many of our patients, also, first experience chiropractic care when other traditional treatments have failed and the pain or problem persists.
The majority of our patients range from 13 to 80 years of age. 55% of our patients are female and 45% are male.
About 58% of our patients use insurance help pay for their treatment, while 42% use other means, such as workers compensation, automobile insurance, and self-pay.
About 96% of our new patients have pain, discomfort, aches, or stiffness in the joints, nerves, muscles, tendons, or ligaments that are caused through work injuries, automobile collisions, overexertion, repetitive motion, aging, or neglect.
After diagnosing your condition, our first goal is to provide prompt relief of pain. This is called "palliative care". Secondarily, but equally if not more important, we address the underlying causes of your condition or problem, rather than merely treating your symptoms.
This attention to any related factors underlying the cause of your condition is what distinguishes our approach to care from the majority of other practices. This "corrective care" is a very important part of your treatment because it is what helps prevent your problem from returning. And, this "corrective care" is especially important for patients who have no history of injury or trauma. Non-traumatic cases of musculoskeletal pain are, for the most part, caused by deconditioning or poor posture. This means you've let your painful area get so far out of shape over time that it has lost the minimum level of flexibility and strength required for pain-free function.
The length of your treatment is dependent upon many factors such as your age, nature of your condition, the intensity, severity and duration of your symptoms, your occupation, your weight, your health habits (such as smoking , nutrition, and stress levels ), any pre-existing arthritis you have and your general health status. About 75% of our patients are under active care for an average of four to twelve weeks.
Less that 10% of our new patients see us the same day they are hurt (but many more should!), while others have had problems for over 25 years! The majority fall somewhere in between, with an average onset of complaint for three months to three years prior to calling us for an appointment.
Consider this...
Our gentle, yet effective hands-on care and alignment of the body structure is light enough for kids and the elderly, yet able to restore function and movement for the high performance athlete. Dr. Kibby has treated professional hockey, baseball and basketball players, Division 1 and 3 collegiate soccer and field hockey players as well as "weekend warriors". But, most of our patients consider themselves to be the average "Joe" or "Jane".
We believe you deserve the best in healthcare and should enjoy the best health possible. Whether you are in pain right now or just not feeling your best, Dr. Kibby can help you feel better! You deserve to feel your absolute best! He can help you make the important changes in your health. He can help you by restoring and enhancing your body’s ability to heal itself “naturally”, using hands-on care, exercise and nutrition, without the prolonged use of drugs or surgery.
We appreciate you for choosing us as your source for quality chiropractic care. It's the smart and sensible choice. Once you meet us, you'll feel even more confident in our ability to meet your healthcare needs and exceed your expectations in professionalism, competency and integrity.
We look forward to meeting you soon and we welcome you to our ever-expanding family of healthy, active and satisfied patients.
