I don't typically review every business I visit--if it's good, it's usually as advertised. But when someone truly exceeds expectations or falls far short, that's when I speak up. Paul is more than a chiropractor--he's a healer, a magician. He takes the time to listen to you, your body, and your needs. He thoughtfully adjusts what's necessary and works through the muscle tension surrounding problem areas, providing real relief. After just one treatment, I'm extremely pleased with the results. I don't require regular maintenance, but I do experience occasional flare-ups. Having visited more "convenient" chiropractors in the past, I can confidently say that whether you need ongoing care or help in a pinch, you're in excellent hands. He understands what he's doing, and I feel significantly better. Thank you, Paul! read more

Sorry in advance... this will be a long one. I really can't say enough great things about Dr. Paul. He is the best and his entire goal is to make sure you only need to see him once or twice a year, if that. I have been going to a chiropractor to relieve chronic neck and back pain for years - since I was in my 20s and it always consisted of 3 appointments a week for 5/10 min with those electromagnetic pads... you know the routine. With Dr. Paul, he spends 30 min or an hour on you depending on how much time he needs, and he works on you from head to toe. I used to have chronic neck and shoulder pain but I have not experienced that type of pain since seeing him. If I do have pain, I may see him once a year. he also pads his appts with 15 minutes of time in between just for free touch ups! I have sent every client, friend and family member to him. He is a miracle worker and I would gladly pay out of pocket for that kind of care, even with insurance. It's worth EVERY CENT- although you can absolutely submit to your insurance for reimbursement! My husband was on of the biggest skeptics when I first told him about Dr Paul. It took at least one or two years before he actually went bc I paid for the appt in advance. But after just one visit, he became Dr. Paul's biggest fan. I also brought a good friend who was dealing with chronic hip pain for at least a year or two after a fall. She was scared to go but after nagging her for a couple years, she finally went and Dr. Paul fixed her in one visit. Granted she is still scared to go to any chiropractor but I am sure if she felt bad, he would be the first person she thinks of. I feel we are so lucky to be in Alexandria and have access to him, but I know people travel in from all over to see him bc he really is the best. I can go on and on but I think you get the hint. I couldn't believe he even had any (less than) 5 star reviews, but after reading them, it made me so sad for those 1 or 2 people. The reviews are clearly not even close to being accurate. read more

I've been going to Paul for over three years now, after he was recommended to me by my boyfriend and it turned out to be one of the best recommendations I've ever received. A couple of years ago, I started experiencing sudden dizziness. I was scared and had no idea what was happening. I went to Paul right away, and he fixed the issue almost immediately. That visit was truly one of the best decisions I've ever made because I've never had those symptoms again. I also make sure to see Paul before every international flight I take -- and again right after I return -- because he helps me so much with pain, tension, and overall alignment. Those visits make a huge difference in how I feel during and after long trips. On top of being incredibly skilled, Paul has such a great personality. He's very easy to talk to, he listens, he genuinely cares, and he's truly one of a kind -- the kind of person you just don't come across often these days. I completely trust him, and I hope to go to him for many, many years. Paul has helped me through so much pain and discomfort. I see him every two months, and every visit reminds me why I would never go anywhere else. He's amazing at what he does, and I couldn't be more grateful. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Went for an hour long of chiropractic and massage. It was easy to book an appointment online and I needed it quick and so badly as I woke up with a neck pain where I couldn't turn my head or bend my neck up or down. Paul is a nice guy and was able to place my neck back in its place to reduce the pain. I was able to turn my neck to right fully without restriction or pain first time in maybe fifteen years! Amazing and I do go to my chiropractor regularly but I just moved and had to find a new chiropractor. I didn't have time to visit a chiropractor for 4 months and it was overdue! I'd say it was an excellent choice and he was referred from my old chiropractor. The office is on third floor by stairs above the Greener Cleaner shop. It's nice and cozy place. Amazing though and I'll come back again to make it a routine. read more

When you go to Dr. Paul for chiropractic help - mention any ache or pain you have. I had a hip replacement and have been walking a lot - mentioned my hip was starting to ache a bit. His "let me just try this" ended up clearing it up. His expertise with deep tissue massage to the area was what worked!! read more

Paul is a knowledgeable and caring chiropractor. I have spyndolis in my neck and lumbar spine that comes with much pain that limits my ability to do the things I love: paddle boarding, skiing, hiking...After a thorough adjustment with Paul yesterday, today I'm able to sit longer than 30 minutes without pain. but most importantly, I have better range in motion. Paul is not your typical chiropractor, he is thorough and truly enjoys seeing his patient less often as a result of his adjustments. when I was younger I saw Paul once per year, as a 60 year old with chronic arthritis pain, I see him twice a year to ensure I stay healthy enough to do the things I love. read more

Del Ray Chiropractic and Massage - Chiropractors Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

This isn't your typical chiropractic practice where you are adjusted for 10-20 min two to three times a week for what seems like forever. Expect to spend about an hour for your first visit as he evaluates you. read more

Paul is an excellent Chiropractic Doctor , he did his best to fix my husband's neck, definitely is going to be our family Chiropractic!!! Recommended 100% Paul es un excelente Quiropráctico, es muy cálido con sus pacientes, sientes q eres un amigo en vez de un paciente, cero penas o incomodidades, mi esposo tiene problemas en su cuello, podías sentir sus vértebras mal posicionadas de solo tocarlas y nada mas que salimos de la sesión cuando toqué sus vértebras cervicales, ya no estaban o mejor dicho ya estaban en donde tenían que estar. Gracias read more

Dr. Paul to the rescue again! My back was totally locked up and he was able to fix me. He has great intuition and skill for identifying and correcting issues. 24 hours later I am 98% pain free. read more

My sister and B-I-L visited Dr. Caffey and couldn't stop raving about how he fixed their (multiple long-standing) body problems. I took this with a grain of salt at first, purely because both of them are sometimes super uber hippies. So, when I mentioned it to my ailing aunt in passing and she went and couldn't stop telling me how great Dr. Caffey was, I just had to see for myself. And now I can't stop telling you how amazing Dr. Caffey is. He's one part quirky, one part super methodical and scientific. He's talkative, energetic, and has lots of stories to tell of people he's "fixed". I did in fact put Dr. Caffey to the test, just to see if he was the real deal; when I got there, he asked me what I was there for, and I told him my back hurts (no more specific than that). He adjusted my back yes, and did tell me my mid-back (surprisingly) was the cause of alot of my back pain, but he also found some areas I did not expect, like between my skull and vertabrae, one of my knees, etc. He would say things like: "do you ever do this [position]?" or "you must have had an old injury because your [blah blah scientific terms] does not move that way." He's not your typical chiropractor, expecting you to come every week for x weeks, etc., and I like that...also because he is quite a bit of a drive from where I am. Totally worth every penny guys. You won't be disappointed. ps - Expect to be in some pain that day and/or the day following. Note 1- The office is no modern place you would expect, but its a place of healing nonetheless. Note 2- The place is upstairs. There is a Small door to the right of the yoga studio and you go upstairs to their practice. Note 3- I can never get anyone on the phone. If you are not technologically saavy, you will kind of have a difficult time making an appointment. read more

Del Ray Chiropractic and Massage - Waiting Room - Chiropractors Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Looking for a caring and compassionate chiropractor that really wants to fix your issue rather than prolong it over multiple visits? Use Dr. Pauls super simple online scheduling tool to get in his office. His desire to solve your pain issues are truly one of a kind. I have used him regularly for his massage skills too! read more

I echo the other positive reviews. Dr. Caffrey is amazing. Will put you at ease with his personality and will fix your chiropractic ailments with his skill/knowledge. The only drawback is he does not accept insurance. Take heart, however, as it is worth paying out of pocket to see him. Your FSA and insurance may still cover some/all of the services if you submit a claim. If you need a chiropractor in the DMV, you need to see Dr. Caffrey. read more

Paul is the best hands down. Great service and he really cracks me up. Yes that was a chiropractor pun. Deal with it. But on a serious tip, he is professional, a true standard of integrity, and now part of my self care regimen. I recommend him to experienced and newbie patients. you will not be disappointed. read more

Paul Caffrey is a delight, 100% true. Guy also recited some bangers from ''Much Ado About Nothing." The hypothetical 11/10 read more

Hands down best chiropractor. I've had chronic pain for years. I left feeling incredible. He's super nice and cares a lot to figure out how to heal you. I found him to be a pleasure. read more

I visited Paul for the first time two days ago and am beyond thrilled to report that my back and I are feeling better than we have in 10-15 years. Thanks to a blend of chiropractic knowledge, massage expertise and genuine caring, he brings a vastly effective skill set to the (actual) treatment table. Before he begins, he appears to "read" your body with his hands and then goes to work. Because of this and what appears a natural intuitive sense and the valuable and rare quality of truly listening to the patient, he is not only extraordinarily gifted but unstoppable in his determination to correct your specific issue. He's compassionate and really interesting as well as really interested in people. Despite the hour drive, I happily anticipate incorporating his care into my regular maintenance for this 65 year old body. He was highly, highly recommended by my son who swears he's a wizard. Add "healer" to that and you've got Dr. Paul Caffrey. read more

Best chiropractor I've ever been to! I just wish he didn't fix you so well that there's no need to return often, because he is fun to talk with and easy to be around ....and I would visit weekly if I had a good excuse! If you've never been to a chiropractor, trust me...Paul knows what he is doing and will get you feeling better. read more

Paul is the best chiropractor I have ever been to hands down. I have literally sent my entire family and a majority of my friends to see him! I haven't been able to bend my toe for a year after my foot surgery- after one visit my it was no longer an issue. In addition to fixing my toe because I was able to walk better it tremendously helped my lower back. I live outside the Richmond area which is great bc I only have to see him once every year or two years read more

Even though I have insurance I choose to go out of network with Dr. Caffrey - he's that good. I've been to many chiropractors over the years but Dr. Caffrey does the best adjustments and thoroughly examines and re-examines his work. He listens. What I like most is his knowledge of both bones and soft tissue. He often does some key massage work to relax muscles that he knows will hinder his ability to get the necessary adjustment. He is a talker and for some that a turnoff. For me, I don't care. It can be a helpful distraction if you get a little nervous about adjustments. He's kind, caring, and really really good. He prides himself on trying to get you well so that you don't need to come back to him. Can't say that about many chiropractors business models. read more

Agree with the other reviewers: best chiropractor I've ever been to. But there are downsides so significant I went to a few sessions and just don't have the fortitude to go back. First and most importantly, he does not approve of seeing any other type of provider traditional medicine (Western) or Eastern. Or any other chiropractor. If you so much as mention another provider you'll never hear the end of how bad they are and how much he disapproves of you seeing them. Nonstop. Every appointment. Always. It merits re-emphasizing. Do not ever mention the following to Dr. Paul: other chiropractors, physical therapists, doctors, surgeons, any tests or any procedures of any kind that you have had. Especially. Not. Cortisone. Injections. He does not like *any* of these people/things and if you mention any of them he will be on a continuous loop nonstop talking about them, criticizing them, criticizing you for going to them. I cannot emphasize enough not mentioning cortisone injections. I strongly suggest that if you choose to go to him, pretend you are the first provider of any kind you have ever seen. Ever. In your life. For anything, not just for your back/neck etcetera issues. Don't mention so much as a general practitioner, dentist, gynecologist, or even pediatrician when you were a child. No exaggeration here. read more

THE BEST CHIROPRACTOR IN THE WORLD!! SERIOUSLY. Words do not exist to describe what a fantastic chiropractor Dr. Caffrey is. In fact, he is so much more than that. He is a healer. Ive been going to chiropractors for 25 years so i know what is out there. I only wish i had met Dr. Caffrey sooner. I went to him with chronic neck pain and lower back pain and had immediate results. Over time he has completely transformed my body. He is the only person I trust to touch my neck and he has been able to get it to adjust when it will barely move. He doesn't give up until he gets it...if it means he has to massage my neck for 20 minutes he will do it. I live in DC so it's a bit of a schlep to Alexandria and I don't care. Honestly if i had to drive an hour and a half to see him I would. Unlike other chiropractors, Dr. Caffrey doesn't try to sell you vitamins or supplements or hook you up to a 'stim' machine or whatever they call it. He just spends time with you and adjusts your whole body including parts you didn't even know could be adjusted! He actually doesn't want to see you again! He wants to fix you the first time. Whenever i come back he feels guilty!! He doesn't rush you in and out or make you come three times a week. He spends LOTS OF TIME with you, often going over the alotted amount of time, but also somehow never running late. I've been seeing him for years and have never waited for him to finish another appointment in order to take me. I simply can't recommend him enough. Whatever your problem: neck pain, migraines, sleep problems...I urge you to check out Dr. Caffrey. read more

Dr. Paul Caffrey is amazing and should have awards all around his office! He is too humble! I went in scared to even be touched since I had excruciating pain from ribs being offset/subloxed/disjointed/out of whack! I couldn't work for 10 days because of the pain. I couldn't tie my shoe, button my jeans, hold a plate.... nothing. I was crying in pain and scared to be "adjusted". Paul made me feel comfortable, immediately. The way he talked to me took my mind off my pain and being fearful. I relaxed and trusted him to fix me. He did fix me! I was in there for 30 minutes and came out knowing something just happened and for the best! I was sore for the next day from the work and adjustment (nothing like the pain I had been dealing with prior to the treatment). The day after, today, I am back to work and 100% better! As a massage therapist since 1996, I appreciate Paul's approach of warming up the muscles first! He "listens" with his hands before doing the adjustments. His massage techniques are above par and unique to his field. He wants to help you then and there and not over and over again, like most chiropractors. This makes him ethical and effective (as well as very busy). read more

Dr. Paul Caffrey is truly amazing at what he does and I couldn't be happier with the results. The entire experience was phenomenal and I'm so happy I went to him when I did. I've been having ongoing back issues due to several issues throughout my life and one sessions with him has provided unbelievable results. If I could sum up the experience in four words, it would be caring, thorough, wise, and effective. Also, if you are ever struggling to think of a gift for someone you care about, think about getting someone you care about a Gift Certificate (that he provides on his website). It might be the best gift you ever give someone. read more

This chiropractor was very nice and did thorough head to toe adjustments during my visit. However I did not experience any improvement of my chronic injury. Next time I will go to another chiropractor that takes my insurance, as I did not find his adjustment to be superior to others I have had. read more

Best Chiropracter I went to. He always fixes everything during my appointment and he is fun talking to. I cant wait to my next appointment. read more

Besides being a skilled chiropractic practitioner and massage therapist, Dr Paul is also an amazing person. You'll get the healing vibe from the moment you enter his space. A visit with Dr Paul is an interactive dialog where you play a significant problem-solving role - so don't just lie there - talk! Sometimes the thing that is bothering you today is the result of something that happened to you yesterday. If you have had historic issues, speak up and share those details - Dr Paul is a great listener and ready for the challenge. He invests his talent, seeking to locate the underlying cause of the structural issue his patient has and works to provide a long term resolution. This is not the assembly-line chiropractic regime found elsewhere, rather, Dr Paul focuses on delivering his best even if its only for one visit. Yes, sometimes the adjustments can be tricky, so bring an open mind and go with the flow. I have referred friends (some of whom were in serious pain spirals) who have received positive benefits from treatment with Dr Paul- as have I. I am grateful to have Dr Paul on my list of trusted professionals I know I can call on for the help that need to be the best "me" I can be. read more

Paul is truly the only person me and my wife trust with Chiropractic practices. He is able to do things that most chiropractors don't or can't do. Furthermore his mission is to FIX issues rather than having you come back for continuous appointments and keep his patient/money supply up. We have been seeing him for 7 years only when we NEED an adjustment or experiencing pain/discomfort. I have never left without being fixed the first time but he ALWAYS offers a free follow-up if we continue to experience pain/discomfort. He is also very personable and TRULY CARES for people. Truly a servant for people and desires to help people rather than just trying to get rich off of peoples issues. Don't hesitate on making an appointment with Paul today! Eric Sprankle read more

I love that Paul's philosophy is he doesn't want to see you regularly. He can almost always treat whatever ails me in one session (with the occasional to touchup). The issue or injury is rarely where I'm feeling pain when I go in, and Paul is great at pinpointing the true underlying cause. He is kind, funny and incredibly skilled as a healer. read more

I luv, luv, luv and live healthy by the healing powers and expertise of Dr. Paul Caffrey. He is not like most Chiropractors, he does not even own a white smock! But if you expert and effective structural work and soothing and healing massage, he is the best there is. Paul is "healer" in the holistic sense and if he fixes your issue, he wont have you return "3 x per week" for the next 6 weeks, if you are cured, he's happy! But like many i know, and myself, you will be back! Be advised, he will get physical in making adjusments but they work and this is not a spa massage, it will be deep tissue, he will find those knots and work them and you will go home and curl up in a ball. But after a nap, you will be a new person! I've been seeing Paul for 6 years and his services are exceptional! read more

Dr. Caffrey was great checked and helped my whole body and I only came in for my back. Left my first visit feeling great and I am looking forward to coming back again. read more

Dr. Paul is a healer. He does not expect - or want - you to see him multiple times per week over multiple weeks. He identifies your issue and tries to fix it in one session. So in that way he is quite unique. He is experienced, and very effective. He also is a positive and funny person who obviously enjoys healing others. He is never happier than when he gets someone out of pain, or moving better. I highly recommend. read more

I came to Paul after an aching back (probably from horrible posture). I was extremely nervous & tense as I'd never been to a chiropractor & scared of injuring myself further. Well, Paul was very reassuring & really knew his joints & how the body worked. He cracked & popped & put those joints back in place (according to him!). although my back was residually sore for 2 days afterwards, it felt restored following those 2 days. He was quite responsive & gave me his # in case I needed to go in for a quick follow-up. hopefully I won't need further care but I will say Paul did not do more damage (which was my main concern) & was knowledgeable. read more

Dr. Paul is the Truth! This man is passionate about his craft and he is the absolute best. He will take his time to find and fix what's out of place. read more

Dr. Paul is the coolest, his vibe is very kind and relaxed. But he get excited for the work he does because he really cares about fixing every nook and crany out of place! I appreciated how much he paid attention to the details of my bone structure and educated me thoroughly about what needed to be fixed and what to do for after care! He's not one of those doctors that's going to run you up a hefty bill just to keep trying to fix you! If it can be done he will do it! He was an answered prayer for me honestly! Check him out!!! read more

I made an appointment for my husband here because of the great reviews (thanks yelpers!) and because its close to our house. He's been dealing with variable levels of neck pain and has seen a ear nose and throat specialist and a neurologist which didn't help much. After the appointment at Del Ray Chiropractic, my husband feels the best he's felt in about 7 years. He won't stop talking about How amazing his appointment was, and he doesn't usually get too excited about things. read more

Amazing! This doc is top notch all the way. He was thorough in his total body assessment even beyond my chief complaint. Very personable and friendly. He was able to fit me in last minute which I greatly appreciated. Very reasonable prices. I feel so much better after just one visit! Dr. C is highly recommended! read more

The Best chiropractor that i have been going for the year and half despite living in Fairfax.I went to see Paul with my lower back (bulging disc) problem and it was amazing how he was able to ease my pain in the first visit. From then I have been visiting him for tune-ups and little tweaks here and there as i am active in work out and weight lifting.He seemed to genuinely care about his patient's healing.I highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for top-notch chiropractor in the area :-) read more

A regular chiropractor, I found him the same as any other chiropractor I went to, did good work. I think he was unprofessional speaking poorly about all other chiropractor and any existent doctors for an entire duration of my appointment. By the time my session ended I wanted to run out of there, that's how tired I was listening of whining for over 60 minutes. Needs to remain professional and keep patients stories to himself... read more

Dr. Paul is the most thorough chiropractor I have ever visited. His holistic approach to wellness and full-body adjustment, paired with massage has left me feeling amazing after each visit. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate his dedication and passion for his practice. Make and appointment and experience for yourself today!!! read more

Dr. Paul is the best. I went to see him about 5 months ago because my hips were out of alignment. As a runner this is very painful. He was able to realign my hips and fix a slight curvature in my spine. I have issues with my L1, L2 and L3. All fixed! Went back yesterday for a follow up as issues with my L1 popped back up. All fixed! read more
