Howard County Chiropractic

The office was very clean, however, I was charged for 45 minutes and received a 26 min massage.
The massage itself was just ok, she only massaged 3 places, not the full body trigger point massage I had requested. It was more of a Swedish massage. I don't think I'll be going back.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR JAKE!
After hearing rave reviews from family members, I went to Dr. Jake for a migraine. One session and it was gone. Since then I have seen Dr. Jake for back pain. Every time I leave the office I feel so much better and am able to get back to the physical activities I love. Very grateful to Howard County Chiropractic and Dr. Jake for everything! :)

Have had two visits for a low back/hip issue. The office chiropractors are a married couple. I have only met with Dr Russel Antico and am very impressed. He is an excellent listener with great bedside manner. After the first visit, he came up with a comprehensive plan to recovery and emphasizes that we are working together for the fix. There is a small PT staff to help teach exercises/stretches and the front desk assistant is very helpful. It's wonderful walking in to an office of people who care. I look forward to working with them!

Plenty of parking around the building.

I had 6 appointments at this place with Veronica Antico for my neck and back problem, and they went smoothly only because she basically didn't do much.
Sometimes I even felt worse after the visit, and just ended up back at where I started.
But a big reason for my post is in regards to the billing transparency. The initial consultation is NOT free, they just play you to make it legitimate. They avoid talking about billing so they can hit the patient with a huge payment load before they realize it. They also try to squeeze in as many appointments per week as possible, don't fall for the trap.

Inital examination: $135
Physical therapy: $35 per 8 minutes of them watching you.
Adjustment: $52
Anything else: $50 per technique

Just wanted to help people with the potential costs and not make the same mistake I did.
Shout out to the PT assistants though, they were very accomodating and great to work with.

I got injured during a race in August 2014. It felt like a pebble was in my shoe but, as it turned out, I had a dropped metatarsal bone. I went to a Podiatrist who was nice but told me nothing I didn't already know (except he did take X Rays's to rule out a stress fracture). I followed all his recommendations (rest, ice, blah blah blah) and even wore the custom orthotics he had made for me. Did all the exercises. However after 2 months I was still feeling pain at times while running and everyday walking around. I'm a Howard County Striders member and the Dr.'s from HCC came out and did a talk with us early on in our training for Fall Marathon and they were at a Metric Marathon I did and really helped me out on that day - so they were my first choice for a different take on my injury.

I haven't been to chiropractic for many years. I like and use alternative medicine (acupuncture, Bachs flower remedies, Homeopathy, etc) so it was not unusual for me to seek out someone outside of what might be called mainstream. I specifically wanted to see Dr. Elek because he is the one who treated me at the Metric Marathon - and I have never felt so good after a race (and that was the furthest I'd run EVER). Well to say he has helped me is an understatement. He listened, he worked with me and he developed a plan to treat my issue which was more multi faceted than I thought. He knows athletes and I found that very helpful. What's he has been able to do with my foot is amazing. I'm virtually pain free during races and running now. I'm so happy with this office.

OK plus - here is the nitty gritty. You know the Dr. is only as good as the other folks who do things like run the office. The lady they have doing this is top notch. I always get appointments when I need them, I am greeted by name every time, and everyone is so caring. I cannot recommend this office highly enough!

Amazing! This place has been instrumental in getting me back on track. Several years ago, my S Joint locked up and I felt like I couldn't even move. I was panicked and didn't know how my back would get better. I called this place out of the blue and they were so accommodating and got me in right away. They have been a lifesaver. Dr. Russ, Dr. Veronica and Dr. Jake are so great! They have a great office space and gym/stretch area where I learned many exercises that I still use every morning to help maintain the health of my back. I highly recommend.

It's not uncommon for all of us to experience some discomfort (neck, back pain etc) in life but what is extremely uncommon is to find a treatment center that provides the level of care and expertise these team of physicians and therapists do, and in a manner that truly does provide the outcomes we all desire.

Trust in your provider is something we all desire but not always are we the consumers we need to be when seeking treatment. The care provided by Dr.s Russ and Veronica Antico is unlike any care I have ever received. A few times I was stricken with severe neck pain and the inability to turn and within weeks not only was i more mobile but I was taught the techniques to maintain healthy alignment along the way.

If you want to align all things treatment wise around a holistic approach of care, this team is the right team for you!

Last year I could barely walk to my bathroom from the pain in my lower back. Dr. Antico and his amazing staff as well, as work with Teri Nofer who is a massage therapist, have enabled me to become fully functional and able to be physically active without any pain. They also teach me how to correct my posture and exercise at home every day to keep my issues at bay. As a result, I am capable of exercising and doing yoga again. My flexibility and stamina have improved greatly. Kayaking, fly fishing and hiking are back pain free. Life is good again thanks to these amazing people and this profession and science. Thank you all!!

Always very professional with terrific results. Highly recommend them if you are experiencing any lower back issues

The Doctors are great but don't be late for an appointment. I was turned away because I called at my appointment time and I was at the light at Dobbin and 175 (less than 5 min away). I needed the appointment so very badly and was not allowed to be even 5 minutes late. I literally had to pull over in the parking lot at the Ale House to stretch because I was in so much pain after a 45 minute commute (which should have taken 20 minutes but rush hour in MD is so unpredictable). If you have a job and don't have unlimited time to commute to and from this place, may need to find somewhere else to go...
