Specialties //
Dr. Starr Graduated from Life University in Atlanta Georgia in 1998 with a Doctorate in Chiropractic, and has practiced in Maryland for the last 20 years. His wife and family of 5 children moved to Israel in the summer of 2016 and reside in Modiin. Specializing in the Gonstead Method of chiropractic, Dr. Starr uses his hands to locate and correct spinal subluxations (misalignment) that can cause pain and discomfort. In order to make care more accessible, Dr. Starr will travel to your home or office making care more convenient. Very few doctors still make 'house calls', but Dr. Starr is a second generation doctor, and his father, Dr. Robert Starr, DO was an osteopathic physician for over 43 years, and he often made house calls. Dr. Starr carries on the tradition today. In addition to chiropractic, Dr. Starr is also a Whole Food, Plant based nutrition specialist, and assists patients in losing unneeded weight, helping them thrive nutritionally.

BACK AND NECK PAIN
Over 80% of all people will experience some form of acute or chronic back or neck pain. (the other 20% just don't kvetch about it!) Taking medication usually only covers up the problem and most physicians will agree that getting to the core of the problem is key. Often times, the joint in the spine has misaligned from some form of trauma; be it slight or severe. Muscles can tighten and reinforce this misaligned position. This can set up for a painful situation. Chiropractic treatments are gentle, safe and effective. By using our hands, we gently stretch and deliver a specific push or 'adjustment' to the needed joint space to allow the body to realign the joint, bringing much needed relief from pain.
NUTRITION AND WEIGHT LOSS
Dr. Starr has helped thousands of patients modify and improve their nutrition, allowing them to not only lose unwanted extra weight, but feel more energy, better concentration and overall improved quality of life. There is NO reason why you cannot be the same weight you were when you were in college! Regardless of your age or condition. Dr. Starr will sit with you, review your health history, conditions, and typical diet routine and make the needed suggestions to get you on the track to losing weight if needed, but with the focus on a better diet lifestyle to helping you feel better and live longer!
HEADACHES
Many cases of chronic headaches are due to 'cervicogenic' headaches; meaning 'coming from the neck'. The following headaches respond very well to chiropractic care:
- Migraine headaches
- Cluster headaches
- Tension headaches
- Sinus congestion
