Dr. Abuid is a renowned chiropractor who is committed to providing his patients with better health and a better way of life, by teaching and practicing the true principles of chiropractic care. 

He is currently serving patients’ chiropractic needs at his private practice, Riverside Chiropractic, in Mount Vernon, Washington. In business for more than 25 years, Riverside Chiropractic Clinic is a full-service chiropractic clinic with the goal of helping patients control spinal pain through chiropractic care, massage therapy, and pain management.

He is geared to provide the best for his patients by utilizing the ArthroStim instrument, a handheld machine that aids a chiropractor in performing adjustments. This powerful tool delivers 12 to 14 incremental thrusts per second, making it much stronger and faster than a typical single thrust administered by a chiropractor.

Chiropractic medicine is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, extremity adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, such as neck pain, back pain, and other joint pain like those to the shoulders and ankles. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life, by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself without medication or surgery.
