Testimonials

I have been a patient of Dr. Moramarco since 1991 and have found him to be an excellent chiropractor. I never feel rushed during my appointments, and he takes the time to get to know me personally, and to find out what's going on in my life. Sometimes a person's personal situation is the cause of their ailment, and he needs to know that in order to administer the appropriate care. He also takes the time to fully explain the many ways in which a chiropractor can help to keep yourself fit and healthy. I have recommended many people to Dr. Moramarco over the years because I have that much trust and confidence in him. Dr. Moramarco also has the best staff. They are always happy to help, whether it’s dealing with insurance companies, scheduling or changing appointments, or squeezing you into their busy schedule when you need to see the doctor, but don’t have an appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Moramarco to anyone in need of a chiropractor; he is a really great doctor.

Moramarco Chiropractic changed my quality of life. For years I struggled with back pain getting only temporary relief from prescription medications. I remember how painful it was just doing my every day activities. Finally I decided that something had to drastically change. I didn't like the side effects that most prescription medications have on the stomach. A friend suggested I see a chiropractor. Honestly, I was skeptical at first. But soon after I started treatment with Dr. Moramarco, I started experiencing pain-free days. I found myself able to breeze through my daily activities without worrying about if I bend wrong or if I sit too long. I knew I had made the right decision. Dr. Moramarco and his staff are a group of caring professionals. My only regret is that I wasn't introduced to Moramarco Chiropractic earlier. But I'm certainly making up for lost time now!

Schroth Method

What is the Schroth Method?

The Schroth Method is a non-surgical, conservative treatment program for scoliosis consisting of curve-specific exercises. However, Schroth 'exercises' for scoliosis are not typical of what a person thinks when they think of  exercise. These scoliosis specific exercises are performed from the "core" or trunk and used to correct the spine in three dimensions through scoliosis specific movements accompanied by "rotational breathing", a technique developed in Germany years ago by founder Katharina Schroth. The purpose is to derotate, deflex and to correct the spine in the sagital plane while elongating the spine. Consistently working to correct the spine in this manner is the key to successfully incorporating the Schroth Mehtod into a scoliosis patent's life.The Schroth Method is unique because it focuses the patient to think about re-establishing spinal symmetry. In scoliosis, the muscles along the spine become imbalanced on opposite sides. So, a patient must learn to shorten (tighten) the muscles on the convex side of the spine and lengthen the muscles on the concave side of the spine. Initially, this is no easy task and requires dedication on the part of both the clinician and patient. The Schroth Method then incorporates a unique technique for scoliosis patients called ‘rotational breathing’ or ‘rotatory breathing’. Simply stated, the patient is taught to breathe into the concave side of the trunk in order to rotate the ribs allowing them to return to a more ‘normal’ physiological state/position. Following this 'inhalation' phase, comes the 'exhalation' phase of Schroth - known as 3D stabilization. 3D stabilization helps restore a more stable three-dimensional spinal alignment. This helps the patient experience the feeling of the corrected spinal posture in order to recognize how to maintain it. The patient should strive to  use this postural awareness during daily activities.
