The field of chiropractic began back in 1895. The word 'Chiropractic' is derived from Greek terminology and means 'to treat by hand.' Chiropractic care focuses on conservative, non-invasive treatment for joint and soft tissue problems and their associated effects on the neurological system. Neurological 'irritation' caused by such problems can lead to anything from pain and dysfunction to headaches to organ problems. Joint and soft tissue problems, if left untreated, can ultimately lead to degenerative changes.
Each chiropractor graduates with the same degree: doctorate of chiropractic (D.C.). As in medicine, chiropractors can specialize in many different areas. It is the specialization of the chiropractor and clinical experience that allow for differentiation in the field and best enable the doctor to provide the highest level of care.
Dr. Manison is proud to be a provider of Active Release Techniques (ART). Dr. Manison is the first licensed and most highly trained practitioner of ART in the Columbia / Ellicott City, MD (Howard County) region. Dr. Manison has been providing ART for athletes of all levels for many years and he has more experience applying the technique than anyone else in the area.

Columbia Advanced Chiropractor is a great place to receive excellent care! Dr. Manison doesn't just treat the symptoms, he takes the time to get to know his patients holistically to identify and treat the underlying problems too. He has an arsenal of treatments to complement his extensive education and experience. I have several joint challenges to include arthritis, meniscus tears, and tendon damage. Dr. Manison is attentive to all my questions and support needs with detailed plans and treatments that have been remarkable enabling me not only keep me active in my daily workouts, but also in resuming activities I had not done since my 20s. I'm now enjoying yoga, hikes and long bike rides. I was even able to go on three ski week trips out west last season!

I am a 22 year old competitive powerlifter, training anywhere from 4 to 7 days a week in the gym. Before Dr. Manison, I thought I was healthy and knew how to properly lift. I hurt my back last year - being told by another doctor that I herniated a disc - and thought I would never lift again. After my second session with Dr. Manison, my pain went from a 10 to a 2, learned I didn't even have a herniated disc, and I quickly dropped that old doctor. Dr. Manison has not only provided me great care for my back and neck, but he is equipped with numerous advanced chiropractic techniques for any muscle or injury.
Active Release Techniques (ART), Graston Techniques, Kinesio taping, and Dry Needling (my personal favorite!) are just a few treatments he has done for me, all leading to pain-free muscles and tissues. He is Functional Movement Screen (FMS) certified, providing me movement and stability exercises which has improved my strength and form in all of my lifts.
And to top it off, he wrote me a diet plan which has given me outstanding nutritional results and body changes. He is your one stop shop for anything health related. Dr. Manison has improved the quality of my life in more ways than one. His extensive knowledge of adjustments and sport related injuries have allowed me to get in the best shape of my life - physically, mentally, and nutritionally!
On a personal level, I love that I am able to talk to him about any topic. We can nerd out about chemistry or discuss new scientific articles. I can't thank Dr. Manison enough for making me into a better individual, he has changed my life for the better :)

Dr Manison is an excellent chiropractor but in addition to manipulation the dry needling therapy is unbelievable. There have been several times I have tweaked my back and after the dry needling therapy the pain is almost gone. I would recommend this therapy for anyone who tweaks a muscle. It is literally unbelievable. I have seen PT's and Chiropractors for 20 years and nothing comes close to dry needling the way he does it.

I have been treated by Dr. Manison for several different issues over the last 5 or more years. He has helped me avoid surgery that seemed impossible to avoid on my shoulder and has helped me recover very quickly from a double foot surgery. His knowledge is extensive and his persistence in finding what protocol is right for your body to heal is unyielding.
He is always keeping up with the latest technology and what is best in getting his patients back to their daily activities. I had great relief from grastoning, dry needling, and his use of the rapid release machine on my toes. I know I wouldn't be walking as well yet post surgical let alone back to playing soccer, hiking and climbing. Thing that I couldn't do any more just before my surgeries. I can't say enough about Dr. Manison and his practice. Dr Chrystal is apparently also top notch but I haven't gone to her yet. My friends tell me they like her just as much.

I've been going to Columbia Advanced Chiropractic, LLC for about 2 years now. They have fixed my shoulder stability problems and my back (disc issues from an old injury). Dr. Manison is extremely knowledgeable and was able to diagnosis the exact issue I was having with my back based on my symptoms and his depth of knowledge about the spine. He does not mess around and gets you the care you need and he gives you the tools to keep yourself healthy going forward.
I am a competitive Olympic lifter and Dr. Manison keeps me in one piece to keep doing what I love. If you're an athlete and need some help, Columbia Advanced is the place you want to go.

I am finally able to resume the biking, swimming and walking activities that I enjoy after going through a course of treatment with Dr. Manison. I have ongoing lower back issues, and after throwing my back out after a workout, I was unable to get back to a place where I could exercise again with the usual ice, heat, stretches and massage treatment.
My massage therapist recommended that I consider chiropractic care, but I was very skeptical. I finally decided to give it a try, and am very glad that I did. Dr. Manison was confident that he could return me to the level of fitness that I wanted and after 6 weeks of adjustments, graston, and faithfully following the daily strenghtening routine he gave me, I am able to get outside this summer and do everything I want. There was no pressure to continue more treatments than needed - now I'm going once a month for an adjustment and doing fine. Thank you Dr. Manison!

The staff at Columbia Advanced Chiropractic are the best that I have had to deal with and always make you feel at home. I had an injury late last year that required some treatment and Dr. Manison was able to aggressively go after the areas that needed to be taken cared of and provided me with exercises to do at home. He always seems to keep up to date in the latest ways to treat people and has a great way of connecting with his patients and making them understand what seems to be the problem and how he will fix it.
That's why I came back to the office after dealing with another issue that popped up late winter/spring with my knee and ankle along with following up on my previous injury that I had. Unfortunately, Dr. Manison wasn't available, but had recently hired Dr. Surprenant. She is fairly new to the company, but it feels as though she has been around much longer.
She shares the same knowledge, energy, and ability to connect with her patients as Dr. Mansion provides. She was able to quickly diagnose the problems I was experience and create a plan of action to resolve these issues. She has been very clear and honest to me as to what she is doing and how it's supposed to help and I believe it's been working. I believe her addition has been beneficial in that I can still get the same great level of service and satisfaction that I had been getting with Dr. Manison, now with Dr. Surprenant and I don't have to schedule almost 2 weeks out for treatment!

I was recommended to Dr. Manison through a fellow kettlebell athlete to correct issues that I have been challenged with for some time with my ankle/legs. He very quickly determined that my issues actually originate in my hips, and began treatment from the hips down. The treatments have greatly reduced the issues that I began seeing him for, and have assisted me in my training.
The rehab exercises that he has me do each day are helping to strengthen the muscles necessary for a full recovery, and I am happy to say that I am well on my way thanks to Dr. Manison.
