Dr. Plotkin has been a practicing chiropractor since January 1994.  He graduated Summa Cum Laude from the National University of Health Sciences in 1993.  He has provided the highest quality care during this time, consisting of not only chiropractic therapy, but extensive rehabilitation, along with nutrition.  He is heavily involved in treating sports teams, including college athletes such as the Maryland Terrapins, as well as high schools like Mt. St. Joe, and local teams such as the Catonsville YMCA.  He is also an instructor at the University of Maryland College Park in the Kinesiology Department, and teaches nationally in both Chiropractic and Nutrition.

Dr. Plotkin uses various chiropractic techniques in his office including Diversified, Flexion / Distraction, Activator, and Thompson Drop.  He also has extensive training and experience with extremity work, including wrists, shoulders, elbows and knees.  Various soft tissue techniques are incorporated as well, and his latest certification is in Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (SASTM).  Each patient is treated as an individual as one technique can not be used for all patients. 

Dr. Plotkin strongly believes in helping patients help themselves.  He has done numerous Post Graduate training courses in both Nutrition and Exercise, which are two very important aspects of his treatment regime. 

All patients do not respond the same to conservative therapy, and some may not even be candidates.  Dr. Plotkin has a great working relationship with many Primary Care Physicians, Orthopedic Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, Pain Management Physicians, as well as many other health professionals.  He knows when and where to refer if indicated.
