we have been coming to Active Family Wellness for almost 6 years. We have been through car accidents, cancer, and other serious health challenges and the team has been there to keep us on the right health track. thanks AFW read more

Extremely disappointed and my trust was betrayed. Upon further investigation I discovered that Active Family Wellness was not in fact Active Care which was also in Fairfax. I provided my attorney information to the office and was under the impression that they were already in contact but the later find there was no affiliation. My trust was completely lost. I've been going to the correct practice which has a similar name and I've felt 1000% better with only 4 visits after being in terrible pain and trouble walking. last visit to Active Family Wellness I expressed that I was in pain and I mentioned to the office manager that I was in too much pain and I wanted to skip the tense pressure before the adjustment and I was told "You have to do it". which was so painful it brought me to tears and I didn't feel any better. Additional I was made to sign paperwork agreeing to pay a detailed breakdown of the when I have health insurance which I was completely caught of guard by. How can I know what the projected cost be for medical treatment? What ICD coding would be used for long term treatment? I don't appreciate being sold this "fallacy" of care knowing that I wasn't the first patient this happened to. Disappointed. read more

Active Family Wellness has treated me like family since the first day I started my healing journey with them. I started coming here after my car accident back in February of 2026 and I am so happy to chosen this great team. They educated me on their practice and how they will help allow my body to heal its back and neck pain. I can definitely say that is exactly what they have done. My body overall has drastically improved and pain has drastically decreased. Every staff member is kind and cares about your needs. I highly recommend this place and if I could give it 10 stars I would!!! read more

Have been seeing them for almost a year and my back and neck have never felt better! Everyone at this practice is amazing.

This place is incredible! The caring staff, doctors, and amazing services provided are phenomenal. I was very impressed by the thorough pre-assessment, specific goals for my health, and the consistent follow up. The biggest thing is, they truly treat you like family... Greeting you by name, knowing who you are and what's going on in your life, and always keeping a positive atmosphere. There's definitely something to be said for having genuine connection with the people who work there. One time when I was there, my son had gotten adjusted the day before and the doctors knew that he had a basketball game the next day. They immediately asked me about him, how he was doing, and if he was able to play in the game. That is just one of the many examples! Thank you AFW for all of your support! read more

From the minute you enter the office doors it is absolutely clear that Dr. Lee's staff is 100% committed to world class patient care. You can see they truly care about every single patient and their health journey. My wife and I have traveled the world with the military and have experienced numerous healthcare providers, and I can unequivocally say that the team of Doctors at Active Family Wellness is the best I've ever seen. The business model is one that every provider should emulate. I'm so happy I found them before we have to transfer again. I cannot offer a higher recommendation!! 1000 stars read more

Right from the time you step inside AFW, it is conspicuous for its welcoming ambience and professionalism. The receptionists are warm, well-organized, and accommodating, and everything that is required is taken care of with ease from the time you step into the office. It is clean, soothing, and carefully designed, right from the reception area to the adjustment tables. Every single visit begins with listening and an explanation so that you know at all times what is being done. There is never a sense of rushed time; everything is tailored just for your needs. My treatments have been precise, effective, and geared towards long-term results rather than quick fixes. I feel the difference after each appointment, whether it is reduced migraines or 6-8 hours or sleep. This is because Dr. Jesse has the knowledge, and concern for his patients to make a difference. I came into AFW with chronic migraines that I have had for 30+ years and chronic insomnia, Dr. Jesse not only adjusted me but also took his time to explain the reasons why I had these symptoms. At the end of my first adjustment, I slept for 6 hours straight and this a huge milestone because for the past 6 years I was averaging 2 hours of sleep. This is what chiropractic care should be, and AFW is a prime example of it. It is a place where I can definitely put my trust in, and I cant recommend it more! read more

I was looking for a chiropractor in my area and came across Active Family Wellness. Overall, everyone I interacted with was professional and courteous. However, I was surprised by their billing approach. In all my years of visiting chiropractors, I have never encountered a clinic that seemed more focused on profitability than patient accessibility. Traditionally, chiropractic offices bill insurance directly for each visit, but this office informed me that doing so would not be beneficial for them. Instead, they strongly encouraged a recurring payment plan for treatment. This made little sense to me, as I only have a copay with my insurance and expect to use the benefits I already pay for. If patients aren't allowed to utilize their insurance, it raises the question--what's the point of having it? Unfortunately, this clinic was not the right fit for me. For others considering this office, be aware that your insurance may not go very far here. read more

Terrific personal treatment. Definitely resolve what ails you. Ryan with the machine at the end is the best.

Been getting care for six weeks. Just drove 12+ hours to Florida, played 4 days of golf, drove back and felt great. In the past, I could barely get out of the car after the ride, let alone unload unload luggage. What a difference! read more

I've had such a great experience with the team at Active Family Wellness. Dr. Kevin recently suggested placing a pillow under my knees while I sleep to help relieve my lower back pain -- and it truly has made a tremendous difference. I've noticed a significant improvement in how I feel each morning, and with noticeably less stiffness in the morning. From my very first visit, everyone, including all the doctors and every AFW team member I've met with, have been so friendly, personable, and welcoming. The whole team takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and make you feel completely at ease. It's clear they truly care about their patients and want to help you feel your best. I tell everyone how glad I am I found AFW -- it's had such a positive impact, not only easing my lower back pain but helping me feel better overall, both physically and mentally. read more

I started treatment almost 2 month ago. Dr. Jesse was the first Doctor I met when I could barely move, now I see progress every day. I'll be forever thankful for he's professionalism, kind, patience and how much this amazing doctor motivates me as well as Dr. Kevin, Dr. Janine thank you for always going above and beyond for listening to your patients you're truly amazing. You're the BEST DOCTORS I've ever seen, thank you for educating your patients, you change people's lives ..... Kat, Ana, Emily, Claudia,Meredith, Naz, Rene, Ellie, and Dr Lee, the whole office, you make patients feel special, thank you read more

I would have given this clinic a five star rating but the billing and huge cost of care caused me to look elsewhere.

a year ago I came to Active Family Wellness with lower back issues and felt relief after my first adjustment. Now that I am continually getting adjusted (Once every 2 weeks) I have noticed great improvement in my sleep quality and I have less anxiety. AFW is the first chiropractic care that I have received and I really appreciate the fact that they educate you on what's going on with your body and what they are doing to help. Not to mention the entire staff is so nice and will always remember your name. read more

Total Care!!! Most people don't look forward to doctor visits; except for when visiting Active Family Wellness. This is our family's second time at this awesomeness. Dr. Janine, Dr. Lee, and the other team members are poised to ensure that you're healthier and happier each session. They even ask and track your progress every visit. Dr. "J" Janine and I have been working on a new problem that is both physical and emotional driven. She's never forgets to talk about the facts and advise me on my options. I am grateful for the support that she is giving me. This what healthcare should look like! I will continue to spread the good secret, it's worth the personal investment. I have recommended them to my family and friends. Why wouldn't I! Knowledge is Power and Sharing is an Investment. Check them out. It's worth your wellness. read more

I am so thankful for Active Family Wellness. I keep thinking, "Where have you been all my life?" My daughter came first because of her pregnancy, and she kept telling me to get an assessment. I always thought it was normal to have aches and pains because I was getting older. However, I was shocked at how much pain I had tolerated under that misconception. After my first adjustment, it felt as if something had been released from my back. I keep telling Dr. Kevin, "It's crazy" how much of a difference each adjustment makes for me. I've only had a handful of them, and it has truly been life-changing. I can swim better now, and I actually enjoy my weekly housework. I'm more productive at work, whether I'm sitting all day or on the move; it makes no difference because my body feels revitalized. Keeping my appointments is effortless because I thrive in the uplifting atmosphere, and every staff member I've met radiates genuine friendliness. Active Family Wellness is a blessing to me, and I encourage everyone to take the leap and discover the incredible experiences they've been missing all their lives. read more

amazing service best chiropractor care in the world. The people are so nice here! I feel better every day I go here!

I've been coming here for a year now and they are the best! I have so much more mobility in my neck and my upper back pain has improved so much! read more

Active Family Wellness - Chiropractors Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

They focus on sales/marketing. Not sure how they had all five star reviews though. I personally don't like their pipeline style treatment. They will request you to sign a plan before receiving any treatment. You will not have a chance to try if you like their service either. Just be cautious if you make decisions based on online reviews only. This place is not in Athena network, and they actually charge a hefty amount for their sales pitch on your first visit. This money will not be reimbursed by your insurance for sure. read more

This is an amazing place. I could sleep on my side after 1 visit and my limp was completely gone after two. Dr Janine is the best! Highly Highly recommend if your in any kind of body pain. read more

I honestly waited months to leave this review because my time at AFW left me feeling so tricked and uncomfortable. I went here for about a month I think. I also had a normal chiropractor I went to in Colorado for years and was seeking similar care and relief here. I finally decided to write a review because what I experienced here was unethical and not okay and I hope I can help others avoid this mistake. I agree with and felt relief/validation from all the other one star reviews. The people working here must have read a couple of influence or sales books and are trained to just honestly manipulate and wear you down in your first two appointments, rush through the payment discussion and even misrepresent it out loud, and then provide very rushed and impersonal care afterwards. They make you come in multiple days to sit through hours of lecture and tests I've never seen any chiropractor or doctor use (making you feel invested). The doctor led me to believe that I'd pay $750 for multiple months. I asked if that was the total cost for all of the months. She said yes. And grabbed my hand and said, "what has been weighing you down, Zosia?" After making me describe every stressor in my life (as someone who's been in therapy for years I can say they're not licensed to have/handle these triggering conversations). And then promising that their chiro care was the answer to all my problems. What medical professional makes these kinds of claims? Then she asked if I could commit to this and finally find healing. Tacky sales 101. And bordering on dangerous if they get a patient with serious mental health issues. Embarrassed to say I caved and signed up even though this felt very wrong in my gut. Once you start coming in, you're with the doctor for a 1 minute adjustment. Truly the least helpful adjustments I've ever had. Hours are four days a week and completely inflexible. They hound you about coming in 3x per week even though it's virtually impossible if you have a job or any other obligation or fitness routine (curious that all the one star reviews got this same recommendation). I obviously had to cancel multiple appointments because it was just not feasible. And finally, I told them I'd stop going altogether because I was moving. They pushed me to keep driving 40 minutes each way on multiple weekdays to come there (again showing they don't actually care about my time or stressors, just their money). I refused. After leaving, I realized they charged me multiple $700+ charges. I called and first of all said I was told this was the price for my multi-month contract. They said it wasn't. It was the price for one month of the recommended number of appointments. I said I hadn't made it to nearly that many appointments and had only gone for one month. They did refund me one payment after a lot of back and forth and some bible verse quoting. And acted like they did me a favor by giving me back money they wrongfully charged me. I shared on this call that they should be sure to not exhaust and pressure people to sign and need to clearly state that the charge is monthly. And allow people time to read contracts before pressuring them to sign with emotional manipulation tactics. These people are outwardly nice and happy and I do think they believe they're doing a good thing. As the owner's comments demonstrate. That doesn't make it true, it just makes it gaslighting for patients. Stop saying you'll take this into account and then continue putting undue pressure on people who are desperate for medical help. Do not promise to be the one stop shop for healing. You simply are not. Do not pressure people to unload their emotional baggage and use that to get them to sign a confusing and unfair contract. This is all unethical. read more

I've been attending Active Family Wellness for a little bit of time now, and although I am still relatively new, I can tell everyone here has your best interest at heart. I initially arrived with intense lower back pain that stopped me from doing my daily activities, but after just one adjustment, I experienced such relief. My consultation with Dr. Jesse was thorough and helpful and provided me with a clear understanding of the cause of my discomfort. So far my experience has been incredible! I definitely recommend. read more

Active Family Wellness - Adjustment area - Chiropractors Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

From the moment I walked into the office I was greeted in such a warm way that i have neverexperiencedbefore. Got to get a tour of the office and then went to get three scans done. The second day I went to a better results faster class, they answered questions I didn't know I even had as well as learned of things to stop doing and things to start doing. I got my results back and knew they weren't good because of the pain i was in. Onto the best part, I got adjusted and instantly felt better, something I haven't felt in 20 years. It was a release in me that made me cry on the table and was not prepared for. Investing in my health is something I should have done years ago but so glad I am now. Looking forward feeling better THANK YOU read more

Awesome chiropractor, helpful staff and it has improved my pain in my neck and back tremendously!

My entire care at Active Family Wellness has been phenomonal. I came in looking for a chiropractor after my car accident in October 2020. I was rear ended after driving home from work. My first day was nothing short of the upmost professional care. Upon arrival the front desk greeted me and walked me through the whole visit step by step. All 3 doctors are VERY knowledgable in all things health From chiropractic adjsutmnets, to nutrition and specific exercises for my care. When I came into the office I just wanted to get rid of the pain from the trauma of a car accident. I never expected to get out of pain, have better quality of life (like sleep and digestion) and have such an active role in my own health journey to reach my goals!! My favorite part about Active Family Wellness is the attention to detail. The front desk greets me by name, the doctors ask me about how my marathon training is going, they have weekly recipes for all the pateints, you can really tell the whole team is dedicated to giving tbeir best to the patients. Coming into AFW for my regular chiropractic adjustments is such a highlight in my day. And I will forever reccomend Active Family Wellness to anyone in search of a chiropractor! read more

In my opinion, Active Family Wellness (AFW) gave me my life back. I was suffering from serious lower back pain issues, and AFW analyzed my total muscular, skeletal, and nervous system -- and directly went to root causes and determined corrective action -- and now I'm living life totally pain free, -- and now being able to golf, hike, bicycle ride, go bowling, sail, and even downhill ski !! I highly recommend AFW to everyone who reads this review! read more

Amazing!!! The staff and the doctors truly offer quality care. On top of that they offer honest and transparent communication with their patients which develops trust and a family like relationship. Overall their staff truly shows they care about your progress. I would recommend this place to anyone seeking chiropractic treatment and or therapy. read more

Sales pitch, and misleading subscription plan. Feels cult-like. Super uncomfortable vibe.

Where do I even begin? This practice has truly transformed my life for the better. When I first started, I came from a medical family and had limited knowledge about chiropractic care beyond the idea of just "cracking your back." To my surprise, I discovered that chiropractors offer so much more in a truly HEALTHY way, avoiding the temporary fixes of medication. Instead of a quick adjustment and a false sense of a cure, they develop a personalized program designed specifically for your spine, much like how braces gradually align your teeth. I've already started experiencing the positive effects and eagerly anticipate each visit! The staff and team are exceptional--it's like being welcomed into a family. They listen attentively, genuinely care, and exude warmth and compassion. I can't recommend them enough! read more

I came to AFW in complete desperation, shortly before the pandemic began. Although I've always been skeptical of chiropractic -- and frankly still am -- in late 2019 I was having some chronic musculoskeletal pain that was greatly affecting my quality of life. It was so bad that I couldn't even sit without pain. I don't remember the details right now as to why I wasn't able to get help from more traditional medical routes, but I just remember doing some research into finding a chiropractor who could see me right away. Even though Fairfax, VA is a long ways' drive from my home in DC, I was impressed by the then quality of reviews for this office and was desperate to try anything that might help. I remember coming to some kind of expensive group consultation session where you have to watch a video that explains more about chiropractic and what it does. At the end, you basically have to decide if you're going to sign on for the treatments, which are sold as a package set that you purchase in advance. It was all very expensive, and I wasn't sure that I could even get back and forth to Fairfax the required number of times given my demanding work schedule. But I ended up buying a package out of sheer desperation. My body was rebelling on me, and I needed help! I did attend a few sessions. The things I remember from them are -- first, I was struck to learn that the owner of the practice is a fellow Christian like me. There's a video that plays in the waiting room while you are sitting there after check-in. And I appreciated learning more about the owner and how his faith impacts his work. That kind of boldness was very much unexpected and appreciated. As for the service itself, I remember getting some kind of test done that showed all the problems (misalignments, etc.) in the body that would be worked on over time. And I had a few adjustment sessions -- perhaps two or three total, I don't recall -- with one of the chiropractors on staff (not the owner, but an uncharacteristically tall Asian man). Even though I so badly wanted the help, I still never could get over my fear of chiropractic generally. I was always uncomfortable with the jerking, snapping, etc. that it involves. And the only time I could ever really relax was after that was all over and we'd go to the room where you lie on the cot for some mechanical massage or what have you. At the end of the day, my anxiety got the best of me. And I decided to quit going and seek out more traditional interventions, as well as massage. So bottom line, I attended a handful of adjustment sessions and got some minor relief. But I ultimately am still not a fan of chiropractic and won't be returning to it. read more

I've been going to AFW for a while now, and with each appointment I continue to be pleased. Their chiropractic care has really helped alleviate my sciatica pain and improved my overall well-being. The office staff is always friendly and accommodating. Their new office is very spacious and impressive. Highly recommend! read more

Totally understand the "cult vibe" reviews after going to this place. They spend more time trying to educate patients on why their practice is so important and why you need them versus treating you. They will also try to sell their packages to you. If you don't become a member and subscribe to the number of treatments they recommend, then they won't treat you. I felt like I was in one of those sneaky timeshare seminars the whole time. They are good doctors but better salespeople. When I go to a dentist, primary doctor or any other medical professional, they for sure are not giving me a whole course on why I need to be there... Tip: Before your appt, ask them if they are in your network. If not, then it will be a pretty hefty bill to just listen to their sales pitch. read more

I first came here two years ago kind of a wreck. Gastrointestinal issues, adrenal fatigue, terrible social anxiety, etc. I needed hope while having a difficult time trusting the methods I saw were available. I knew if I were to commit to chiropractic care, I would need to learn to trust anyway so I gave it go. This place isn't perfect. However, any bump in the road I've had with this establishment in the 2 years I've been here has been handled with the utmost professionalism and care. The adjustments might sometimes feel rushed, but that's just because the team is considerate of other peoples' time. In my experience, any question or concern I had was always welcomed. And quality of care with Dr. Lee is consistent no matter the day. So after two years, where am I at in my healing process? In addition to taking some supplements, my gastrointestinal issues have improved immensely. I was able to significantly reduce my dependence on caffeine. I recover faster from athletic mistakes because of the rhythmic adjustments. I listened and applied Dr. Lee's occasional advice which has helped to improve my sleep and regain perspective. It was not easy and I know it will continue to not be easy. If you are looking to invest in your health, I think Active Family Wellness can help you! read more
