This is a great practice and I feel lucky to have been referred to them. I had suffered back problems for 20 years, many MRIs, many surgeons, neurologists etc. Generally they would look at my MRI and say well you have a disc at L5-S1 so lets fix that. Problem, first, most of the doctors never even examined me physically, second, all my pain is right sided, the disc is bulging left. I kept telling the doctors I have no left sided pain; however, once they looked at the MRI I feel they just stopped listening. They had made a decision and any information to the contrary was ignored. I had given up. My father had virtually an identical problem all his life so I was ready to give up finding an answer. I happened to be at my primary care provider for something else, she asked me how my back was. I related the above. She asked if I had ever tried chiropractic. I said no. She mentioned that a then new practice had opened in Bowie and that perhaps I should try it. I did and it has proven to be the best advice ever. Dr Taber listened to what I described and even though he had examined my MRIs, he fully examined my physical structure, sent me to have some very specific x-rays, asked about my family history. He then explained I had very little lordosis in my lumbar spine (ie very little curvature) so instead of having a nice s curve my lumbar spine was straight, additionally my pelvis on the right was titled down and forward, finally, I have very short hamstrings. These structural issues created something called piriformis syndrome. This was the first logical explanation anyone had ever provided which accounted for all my problems. I know this may read like TMI, but my point is he was the first person to actually examine me physically, listen to my complaints and provide a logical explanation which accounted for all my problems. Put more succinctly, he analyzes and treats the symptoms instead of relying on the radiology findings. I cant speak more highly of both the doctors and the entire staff. This s a fantastic practice and if you are looking for a chiropractor you would be remiss if you didnt try this practice.

I have been going to Dr. Ted Taber now for several years. I find the Tabers to be very committed to their profession and very much up to speed on the latest developments in their profession and utilizing that knowledge for the benefit of their patients. I remember Ted telling me that some of these courses he and Diane take can cost them $1000 or more. I also understand that he is one of the few chiropractors licensed within a 3 state area to use a particular device that he actually utilizes on my back. It took me about 4 years to recover sufficiently from back problems to actually start leading a normal life and Ted Taber was very helpful in that process. I had some experiences with at least one other chiropractor. That person would only use one methodology and wouldnt consider any others even though my neurosurgeon told me, based on several MRIs and his analysis of my condition, that I could be permanently damaged by a particular technique that person was using. Dr. Tabers approach was very different, he was able to utilize a methodology that works and doesnt put me in any compromising or dangerous situations. I highly recommend the Tabers if you need chiropractic care.

I have been a patient intermittently with Tabor Chiropractic for 3+ years. After several years of painful rehab and different types of physical therapy, I tried the Spine Clinic. Painful spinal shots gave some relief but the opioids were self destructive and caused dangerous falls. The Spine Doctor recommended Taber Chiropractic and their treatment is a real game changer for me. When I have a painful spinal episode, Dr. T can give me treatments which immediately ease the spasms. Over the next few weeks of treatment, my inflammation and spasms are eased and I can proceed with moderate, chronic pain. I have been able to lead a productive, relatively pain free life style for many months in between the chronic spinal episodes. I fervently endorse Taber Chiropractic for their knowledge and expertise in dealing with spinal, hip and knee and arthritis, bursitis, sciatic pain. They are the drug free, pain relief solution to all of the above for me.

My mom and I have been using this place for about a decade. When I was about 12, I started having lots of trouble with my scoliosis. Regular visits to Ted and Diane meant I was able to stay pain free and develop healthy back practices that I still practice today. I still go regularly for adjustments. My mom (who doesnt know how to post reviews so Im doing it for her) went with pretty bad carpal tunnel. She didnt want to have surgery, and Ted and Diane were able to heal her 100% through their treatments. More recently she went to them after suffering with plantar fasciitus for years. She had tried everything to heal from traditional medicine to acupuncture. Shes a runner, so not being able to go out and run in the woods was really hard on her. The new orthodics the Tabers prescribed have made an amazing difference. She now can get to the end of her day without her feet being in agony. She wanted me to write that these guys are miracle workers.

I very much attribute my relatively comfortable life today to Dr. T. and Dr. D. Taber, whom I first visited over ten years ago. Before then I had serious back problems that had made me miserable for a long time. By my third visit, I felt something different was happening to me; the persistent pain I had accepted as part of my life was disappearing. It was a strange feeling and initially though happy, I was cautious about embracing my new pain-free self for fear that it was temporal. But as I write today, I can assure everyone that the pain has been gone for so long it seems it was just a dream! I still visit the Practice but occasionally for maintenance purposes mainly. Thank you very much Drs T and D. You are the best in what you do and your staff is wonderful too, each one exhibiting not only good knowledge of what they do but also they are gentle and caring.

Life Saving! I constantly had tightness in my chest, congestion, ribs aching and back pain. I had previously had a stroke, which increased the amount of pain and was also diagnosed with asthma. My rescue inhalers never seemed to help, especially during an asthma attack. Dr. Diane Taber met with me and gave me adjustments. I honestly did not think it would help. After my first treatment, I felt as though the tightness melted, the pain was reduced and I could really take a deep breath. The best part was the congestion I had constantly battled (coughing, wheezing), it loosened and came up in one cough. Dr. Taber did what my General Practioner and Pulmonologist couldnt seem to get right. With Dr. Tabers help I havent had another asthma attack - I will use my inhaler on high pollen days, but not like before. Thank you so much Dr. Taber

I have been seeing Dr Taber for about 4 years. What I like is that Dr Taber puts me on a plan that has an end. And the plan which involves physical therapy, electric stimulus and the message table always has worked. When my pain has relaxed, I go on with my life! Then I see Dr Taber later for an evaluation. I also like the fact that Dr Taber asked to see my prior MRIs to see exactly what was going on with my pain. When I need another treatment, a new plan is started. Also, the office staff is very nice and helpful! I have recommended Dr Taber to others as I trust her professionalism and compassion!
