Introducing Rockville Chiropractor Dr. Craig Stiritz

The Chiropractor To See In Rockville

Being an avid athlete since his youth, Dr. Stiritz has always been interested in how the human body works. Achieving early success in the martial arts (he received his black belt in shaolin kempo karate at age 13), he was taught how to be in tune with his body at an early age. In junior and senior high school, Dr. Stiritz achieved all-state status in the individual medley and breaststroke in swimming in the state of Florida.

During his undergraduate studies at the University of Florida, he focused on exercise physiology and exercise and sport sciences. Being a previous architect major, Dr. Stiritz knew that to have a good functioning body one needed to have the proper structure. This lead him to study the underlying human framework, the spine. Dr. Stiritz decided to further his education at Life University in Marietta, GA. While there, he studied various techniques to help restore normal structure to the spine and improve the function of the body.

Upon graduating cum laude from Life in 2000, he moved back to Florida and opened his practice with his wife. They practiced for three years together in Palm Beach Gardens and then decided to move to the Maryland area to be closer to family.

    The Doctors Asks some important questions of interest to Rockville residents - Chiropractor Rockville The Doctors Asks...

    Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
    Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
    Do nerves actually get pinched?
    Chiropractors recognize two types of nerve disorders involved in subluxation. The least common is a pinched nerve that diminishes nerve supply to an affected organ or tissue. More common is the irritated nerve (facilitative lesion) which overexcites nerve communications to an affected organ or tissue. Chiropractic care has been shown to help with both types.
