After my chiropractor of many years, Dr. Levan, retired, he recommended a few other chiropractors…read more Of the various excellent chiropractors I tried out, I found that Dr. Cradic really stood out. Dr. Cradic's adjustments are exceptionally good. He is unusually strong, incredibly fast, and very precise. Parts of my spine, especially in the upper spine between my shoulder blades, often would get stuck and resistant to moving. Dr. Cradic reliably gets them moving, with adjustments that are incredibly fast. Dr. Cradic also used a couple of adjustments that were extremely effective, but I had never seen before. This includes an adjustment of the shoulders that has done wonders for my pain and ability to work out intensively. In addition to adjusting my spine, Dr. Cradic has also helped with my wrists and even an issue I was having with my feet. He mentioned that his chiropractic expertise is actually enhanced by additional training in osteopathy. This, combined with skill and experience, may help explain why his adjustments are so phenomenal. The appointments begin with a combination of heat and electrical stimulation to relax the muscles, followed by a roller table. Sometimes, the roller table comes first, followed by heat/stim. After that, he does the adjustments, along with any soft tissue work that is needed. For example, in my case, he often uses a massage gun on my shoulders and rotator cuff, which I have found quite helpful. The hygiene is also good. For example, each person has a set of pads used for the electrical stimulation assigned to them. You get your own pads, rather than sharing pads. Equipment, tables, etc. are wiped down after each use. One concern I had was parking. That part of Silver Spring can be tricky to park in. However, there is a parking garage right across the street with plenty of room. I have never had any difficulty parking. There is also some limited street parking, but with the garage right there, I have never bothered with it.

I recently moved and the number one thing I miss about Maryland is Dr. Alterman. I have had…read moreshoulder pain and issues with my neck for years, not to mention scoliosis and a slew of other annoying, painful issues. And I've gone to many chiropractors over the years, in multiple states. The ONLY one that's been able to help me and take care of the actual cause of my pain has been Dr. Alterman. Unlike the other chiropractors I've been to, Dr. Alterman doesn't just offer a band-aid solution. She works with you to get to the root of the issue and therefore eliminate it. It's not an easy fix - do not expect to just go one time and *poof* have everything all better instantly like magic. If you want someone to lie to you and tell you they can fix you in one visit, go waste your money elsewhere (and I do mean "waste"). But if you are actually committed to getting better, go straight to ChiroAid! As an added bonus, she also does Reiki and CranioSacral Therapy. I've tried both and they are AWESOME! I have a lot of stress in my life and having Dr. Alterman practice Reiki with me has really calmed me down a lot, made me more balanced, and actually increased my happiness levels. Nothing beats that!

I decided to try out this clinic, and thanks to Dr. Choi my disc pain is disappearing! My boyfriend comes with me to every appointment and they always check up on him and offers free massages while he waits. He loves them and looks forward to my appointments. Dr. Choi and Dr. Koh are definitely worth the 30minute drive up to Rockville!

I've been going here for 8 years with my family. Dr. Dispenza is my treating doctor. He's helped…read moreme with acute pain when I could not move at all, thru horrible life stressors, thru marathon running, etc. I've been adjusted by at least 20 different chiros over the years and he's among the best for me. My kids like him as well. Kathryn is an office gem. Her knowledge of the body and how to get at various muscles to stretch them is amazing. I always enjoy working with her and find I learn something new every time. Chiros like any other body worker have their own unique touch. Dr. D is muscular, with an athletic build, but a gentle touch. His set up is very accurate for me and it takes little force by him to move things where they need to go, where I have had others unable to do so. He is on the quiet side but knows a lot about the body and how to treat it, beyond chiropractic.

Covid-19 Update: There are few silver linings to this pandemic, and one of them is that the parking…read morelot at Proactive Chiropractic has went from moderate annoyance to dream park-scape. Dr. Pollack and the rest of Proactive Chiropractic have JUST reopened up their office and pretty much as soon as I saw the email, I went to book through their *announcer voice* convenient online booking system! That's right Johnny. But for real, they are taking all of the precautions and more that you expect people who care to take. There is only one doctor on at a time, there is only one patient in the office at a time. There is one front desk associate to help you. Both the doctor and the front desk are wearing masks. There is one chair in the waiting room. As soon as you enter the office you're instructed to wash your hands. There is a sign that says please wash your hands before and after you see the doctor. The adjustment apparatus and rolly thing (technical term) is disinfected after every patient. You must wear a mask during the visit. I mean... I don't know how they could get ANY safer. And it makes me feel 100 percent comfortable visiting the office and getting my adjustment, which I was in dire need of. Dr. Pollack is as wonderful as ever. The front desk associate was as nice as a person could be. That's one of the many reasons why when anyone in my vicinity (which unfortunately hasn't been a lot of people as of recent), but if ANYONE says "My back hurts." My first and most immediate response is, "You should see my chiropractor. I have a great chiropractor, he's right off 7 locks." I can't tell you how many times I've said that, and I can't imagine how many times I will in the future.

He did a really thorough questioning of what is going on in my health, and life, sent me to get blood tests, and set me up to take other home tests. I have not yet returned for diagnosis, but am confident that nothing has been overlooked that should be tested. I also very much appreciated his "take" on arthritis--basically it is inflammation, and not a root cause. And most likely relates to the other health problems I'm having. He does not take insurance, so it is costly. But for me, so worth it. I don't go to the doctor frequently and what I most needed was someone with a holistic and thoughtful approach who can correctly diagnose what is going on, and give me ideas about how to turn it around.

My kids love going there and even wave "hi" everytime we drive by. She provides helpful and useful information in her office for people to read. She takes great care and pride in her patients. I highly recommend Dr. Kadin, she helped my daughter with her leg and now the rest of us have been going. Dr. Kadin is honest about treatment and does not schedule extra sessions that are not needed. She does submit the paperwork for insurance so that I am able to get reimbursed. It's well worth it!!!! Dr. Kadin and her staff are so friendly. I walk out of there relaxed and feeling good that I did something healthy. I just wish I started going a few years ago. *****Her new office location is in the townhouses at the corner of Executive Blvd. and Montrose Road. Phone number is the same.*********************

He expertly sticks in the needles where they need to go to affect the problem zone and then gives you a little electric current/pulse in addition through the needles. Then you are under the heat lamp and listening to spa music while the treatment ensues...for about half an hour. You are flat out on the table in a zone....in and out of sleep while the acupuncture remedy is working to cure your pains.... Truly its been a great way to address the root of blockages in body energy that cause pain (as Dr. Wang explains it) or muscle sprains and injuries in normal terms. (Dr. Wang switches between Chinese and western medical terms to help people understand the root cause of pains). I can't recommend Dr. Wang's healing approach and effectiveness more highly. The fact that I have gone back for over five years and find his treatments consistently effective should tell you a lot.
