About
After graduating, he practiced in Dallas, Texas for 5 years before moving to Maine, opening the office at 558 Main Street, South Portland in May of 1982.
He is a member of the Maine Chiropractic Association and of the American Chiropractic Association.
Dr. Malcolm Williams uses a variety of low force adjusting procedures including the Activator Instrument (TM) and Sacro-Occipital Technic. He also incorporates myofascial release work, some stretching and other modalities to assist in the soft tissue recovery. Dr. Williams provides exercise and dietary recommendations as part of encompassing as many of the involved dynamics in any health situation as possible.
Some cases are simple and straight forward, especially when the person gets care at the earliest sign of there being a problem. Too often when things feel a little better, people tend to wait thinking it will get better on its own, but the body just compensates for the problem and sets things up for a bigger or recurring problem later. When someone comes with a health issue, often there are many incidents and stresses and strains that lie behind the presenting crisis.
Dr. Williams gathers as much information as the patient can provide to understand how the person got to where they are and to encompass the full scope of the current condition. He then does an examination including observation and measurement of movements, palpation of the spine and other bones both stationary and with movement, evaluation of the muscle tone and other soft-tissue in the involved areas as well as taking vital signs. Not routinely, but if indicated, Dr. Williams will send a patient out for x-rays, other imaging studies or lab tests.
Working with each person, Dr. Williams draws from his years of experience to focus on what needs to be done to correct the problem. His understanding of the inter-relationship of the parts of the whole help him to see the connections that need to be addressed to resolve some very persistent and long-term issues. He works as gently as possible in the adjusting processes to realign the involved joints. Then he will determine what if anything is needed to support that correction in terms of therapies like myofascial release, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, ice pack or using supports.
Not only does he assess and correct areas of the spine, but Dr. Williams has a lot of training and experience in working with all of the other joints in the body. He frequently works with old and new injuries to the feet, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows and wrists. The ribs sometimes need attention too and a fairly common joint needing work is the jaw or TMJ. Less frequently some cranial bone work is needed when the bones of the skull have ended up not aligned properly.
In everyday life we all face so many stresses and strains on top of the injuries we encounter from lifting, twisting, falling and other activities, including the more and more frequent ones now of sitting too long especially at the computer. Small injuries are often cumulative, and it is only when the pain doesn't go away that they get our attention. Once things are corrected, we need to be more mindful of how not to recreate them. Dr. Williams works to educate each patient about how to sustain good posture, how to change the things we do habitually and how to address other aspects of improving our health and well-being.
