Three years ago I was stricken with an unknown condition that affected my ability to walk much more than one hundred yards without experiencing pain and discomfort. The pain was centered on my hips and often radiated down both of my legs. With a short rest I would recover and be able to walk fifty to one hundred more yards before the discomfort would return. My first evaluation was completed by my Orthopedic Dr. He found nothing present to interfere with my walking. I was both happy and disappointed. I wanted to know the cause so it might be treated/ My second stop was my cardiologist. I have coronary artery disease. Poor blood flow certainly could be the culprit. After stents and exhaustive treatment there was little to no improvement. We threw our hands up in defeat. One more possibility... a neurologist. While investigating neurology I discovered another possibility. First off... it must be understood, I am one of the world's greatest cynics. I believe nothing of what I hear and one half of what I see. This is especially true of what I consider snake oil. However, on more than one occasion I have been wrong. My adventure with a sleep study being one of my wrongs. The CPAP machine may be one of my most prized possessions. However, before I agreed to the therapy, I thought CPAP therapy to be snake oil in its grandest form. Well, back to my legs. I am an Olney resident. I shop frequently in the local strip malls. You can't ignore some of the more aggressive window signs, especially signs that boast PAIN RELIEF, when you are in pain. But then again, it looks and smells like snake oil to me. After seeing the promise of pain relief for more times than I care to think about I decided to investigate. Just what I suspected, a snake oil salesman, a Chiropractor. Now don't get me wrong, I had a certain respect for their ability to work with some spine problems. Their claim to help other areas of the body seemed like total exaggeration; after all I had been evaluated by the best professional help available. The fact that I had not found relief from my pain never made it to the formula. I was still in pain. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing. In spite of my cynicism I made an appointment with Dr. Ray . During the evaluation I watched the operation like a hawk. I was looking for validation for my distrust. We started treatment. I looked harder. Sure enough within a week they scanned my feet with some trick gizmo and used the results for evidence to convince me that I needed shoe Orthotics. Wait until you hear this...280 bucks. I said, no way. After contemplation, I concluded that if I was going to hold the practice responsible for my results it will be best if I follow their treatment plan. I bought the inserts. Anyway, after three months of treatment that was interrupted by two other commitments I now can walk pretty much unlimited. I am sure there is a limit, I just haven't found it. My distrust was unwarranted. Dr. Ray accomplished what no one else was able to do. I can walk long distances without distress, Oh, the Orthotics is now my second most prized possessions. I am a believer. In pain? See Dr.Ray read more

Five months ago, I was diagnosed by an orthopedic doc (via X-rays and CT scans). Diagnosis? Degenerated disc in my cervical spine (pain in my neck!). It was causing excruciating pain and headaches...severely limiting my physical abilities...I couldn't even look to my left without sharp and radiating pain all the way down my shoulder! Prescription? Pain killers, anti-inflammatory, and muscle relaxers. Didn't fix it. Next step? Cortisone injection. It masked the pain, so I worked like a madwoman doing all of the things I couldn't do before. Result? When that wore off, my pain was worse than ever before... in pain to the point of tears even having to drive and use my left arm at all. Orthopedic Doc's response? If we can't get this under control, you may need surgery to correct it. Then my best friend told me about Moss Chiropractic. The team there fixed his back pain and he was certain they could fix me too! So, I went to see Doctors Moss and Moss. Result? I write this today - less than three weeks since my first visit - because I am blown away by how great I feel! With the treatment I have received at Moss Chiropractic, I have gone from a constant pain level of 9-10 (10 being the worst possible) to a pain level of 3!!!! In under three weeks, I have regained my range of motion and can perform my daily tasks without experiencing excruciating pain. No surgery. No pain killers. No muscle relaxers! Just chiropractic care at its best, with phenomenal results! Why? Because they are not masking my symptoms - - - they are correcting the problem!!!!! And I now know that I don't have to live in pain...with proper treatment, I will soon get to a "0" on the pain scale! To Doctors Moss and Moss - I can't thank you enough! You and your team are fantastic and I am grateful to be able to be treated by you. To anyone reading this - Don't be discouraged by other doctors' diagnoses. Don't just mask the problems...get chiropractic care and fix the real problems! read more

Moss Chiropractic services are very different. I learned of Drs. Gabriel and Raymond Moss at a Gym in Olney. Dr. Ray (as he is called) was doing a seminar about the proper alignment of the spine, and the statement that stuck in my head was "pain does not have to be a way of life." I was in my 40s at the time and thought that by just exercising I could eliminate my lower back problems. Weeks later, after several episodes of my back going out, I called Moss Chiropractors for an appointment. The first visit seemed strange because I had heard my husband and friends describe their chiropractic experiences, which consisted of being attached to electric stimulators and soft music. The Moss environment is very different. After a consultation using state-of-the art equipment to measure and x-ray your current condition, you are adjusted in an open environment. It's like sitting in an open class room where you learn as much from the doctors as you do from hearing about the experiences and instructions given to others. Though assisted by staff, you are always under the watchful eyes of either Dr. Gabriel or Dr. Ray. I am now 70 years of age and live over 30 miles from the Moss' Olney offices. However, despite this fact, my husband and I both come to the Moss' for help. We have survived two serious automobile accidents and despite treatment and therapy by an Orthopedics were only able to function without pain after returning to the Moss' for treatment. I use to joke with the Moss' that they have put the pep back in my step, but it is the truth. I have learned how to sit, sleep and stand in a manner that improves my posture and increases my energy. My family tell me that I sound like a poster child. I hope this review helps anyone seeking an answer to their pain. read more

Before going to Moss Chiropractic I felt as if my body was failing me at this young of an age, and I am only a teenager. I had hurt my right ankle badly playing basketball in March 2016, and first visited Moss Chiropractic in the beginning of August 2016. I could barely run or jump but I still wanted to be outside with my friends. But doing so not only caused me pain but sometimes my right leg would just give out. I also had back pain in my right lower back. Now I am more active than I have been in years. I run around campus, I run up stairs, I play basketball with my roommate at the gym, I play football on the field by my dorm, and I even tried out for my school's football team. All the staff at Moss Chiropractic are very caring, when you walk in there it's like you are catching up with your friends. They really want to know how you are doing and if you are getting better. The best thing is that Dr. G and Dr. Ray explain everything. They want you to be informed about your health. Dr. G had me learn about the difference between just manipulation and full on corrective care. Now it is almost October and there is tightness in my lower back but the pain is completely gone. My ankle no longer is painful and functions how it should, I still do not have full range of motion in my ankle but I can participate in athletics and do well. In all, I am so happy that I found Moss Chiropractic and am grateful for the care that I have received and continue to receive. read more

I love to read responses to businesses that I utilize. I believe there is no better way to get a feeling about a business than by word of mouth. I also believe that reading negative reviews will more often than not tell you something very important about a service and the company behind it, as well as the person who wrote it. Well, I read a negative review about Moss Chiropractic and I can say that I can sincerely dispute the statement made in that response. The idea behind Moss Chiropractic is not to simply make you feel better for a day or two, but to create long lasting results and have you feel better for a lifetime. Just like any machine, the human body can be bent, twisted and injured by use. Chiropractic is the use of both hands and machines to re-adjust the body back into proper alignment. The idea of using traction or other types of tools to do this re-alignment makes logical sense. The idea is to allow the body's central nervous system to have communication lines that are as close to optimal as possible. If you are willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on your car to keep it working at peak efficiency for the longest period of time, are you not willing to spend hard earned dollars to keep your body in tune? Sure, you can get by letting your body heal itself, but over time, it needs assistance and Moss Chiropractic has provided my family this assistance for over a decade. It feels great to feel better. read more

I have been with the doctors since 2006 and off and on and in the beginning it was awkward to say the least. I went out with a friend and my neck just started hurting and I could not turn it, so she went into Harris Teeter and I asked her to drop me off at Moss Chiropractor because I wanted to know if they could tell me why I was having this horrible pain in my neck. I went in and with 45 minutes I had seen Dr. G and sent immediately to Dr. Ray's tables. He laid me on the table and I thought I would pass out when he did the first adjustment. I had no idea my neck was in such bad shape. Dr. G had informed me that when I had an accident many years ago and whip lash it actually did something to my vertebrae and moved down to my lower back. Well needless to say I sent back for a series of treatment and within three months I was standing up straight, my neck was aligned correctly, they had me purchase the correct pads to go in my shoes so that I could walk correctly. It all worked! I felt so much better and I could see a difference in my stride and no back or neck pain. I would recommend them to anyone that is having back problems before having surgery of any kind because it really works. I love the doctors! I have actually turned them onto other individuals and they are of have been seen by the Mosses! Love them what a difference to get up with no paid. Ingrid R. read more

I hope this review helps someone make an important decision regarding choosing the right Chiropractors for care. I am a 74-year-old active female and 30 days ago I developed pain in my legs that ran from my low back to my feet. Sitting, standing and lying in bed was awful. My primary doctor diagnosed it as a sciatic nerve problem and recommended muscle relaxers and/or therapy. I discovered that friends ranging from 40 - 70 were having or had experienced a similar problem. We all agreed that the pain was unbearable, and drugs didn't mask the problem. Conversations of acupuncture, cortisone shots, and surgery were all solutions being considered. Fortunately, I had used Moss Chiropractic services in the past for herniated discs. In addition to treating my problem, they taught me exercises and sleeping positions that over the years got me through potential back problems, but I hadn't seen them in years. When I mentioned to friends that I was considering seeing a Chiropractor for my current problem, I heard lots of negative comments. Thank God, I didn't listen. Unfortunately, all Chiropractors are not equal, but the services provided by Drs. Gabriel and Raymond Moss are superb and I am now able to sit, stand and even dance (smile) again without pain. read more

I have been in correction and adjustment for two years now and am extremely satisfied with the level of care, the professionalism and knowledge that both Dr. Gabriella and Dr. Ray generously provide. My lower back and neck were compromised by years of lifting heavy items at my job. It has taken awhile and YES I have had to put in the work to see the results I now enjoy. When I first began treatments, my daily pain was at the RED - SAD face between 7 - 9 level, but with time and work, I am now at the GREEN - MILD face between 2- 3 level. I am 72 years old and am now able to enjoy swimming and moderate stretching and strengthening exercises a few days a week. I thank God for directing a neighbor to my wife to tell her about Moss Chiropractic and I so appreciate everyone that works there. Everyone is professional and genuinely concerned about each client. From the follow up appointment reminders to the well wishes as you prepare to walk out the door. I still have a ways to go but I thought my retired life here at Leisure World would be full of pain rather than piece and hope. Woody Miles read more

To start off my review I just have to say moss chiropractic is the best out there. I have and migraine headaches for 3 or 4 years now and I decided after seeing a neurologist for about a year it was time to take another route to treatment and that was when I called moss chiropractic, they got me in the office that day. I had an assessment with Dr.Gabriela, and we figured out that I wasn't in alignment. That day I was realigned by Dr.Ray and Within minutes I felt great news headaches or pain. I have been going here for about 1 month and haven't had a migraine in about 2 1/2 with my treatment schedule planned out and my energy had been much better I can now participate in activities that the headaches were holing me back. I am 16 years old and everyone thinks someone my age wouldn't have my problem but it's more of a problem on these new technological generation always looking at a computer screen or phone can really cause a problem. So If your have any type of problem that you can't figure out give moss chiropractic a try they are the best out there and their hospitality is the best in the business. read more

After suffering from chronic neck and back pain for years, I decided to give chiropractic care a try. I first met Dr. Ray Moss at the Good Counsel Christmas Boutique a couple of years ago, where he was offering free posture assessments. After speaking with him, I made my first appointment. I met with Dr. Gabriella Moss to go over a treatment plan and then began having regular adjustments with Dr. Ray, as well as stretching exercises. It wasn't long before I noticed the pain was lessened and I was able to move more freely. Unfortunately, it was necessary for me to stop treatment soon thereafter to care for my ailing Father. My Father passed away this year, so I decided it was time for me to resume treatment and take care of myself again. I've been back at Moss Chiropractic and Wellness for about one month now and have already noticed a substantial improvement. I should also add that the office staff is very friendly, gentle and helpful. They are the best kept secret in Olney! Thank you, Dr. Gabriella and Dr. Ray! read more

After thinking that the first place to seek information and treatment for back pain is an orthopedic surgeon and if after X-rays and physical therapy you are still left with the same symptoms ( compressed arthritic lower spine joints), what next? Nerve block injections and/ or major pain medicine the rest of your life? This is what I was left with until I decided to research chiropractic treatment and decided on Moss Chiropractic and Wellness in Olney, MD. Their practice emphasized CORRECTIVE treatments, not just pain management. Well, in two weeks someone that could not stand for 10 seconds w/o seeking a seat or change of body position is now practicably pain free when standing. This result is from their skill in treatments, along with practicing corrective alignment exercises at home. I'm 59 yrs old and thought my back was only to get worse in the future and my only recourse was to live on pain medicine or nerve blocks. So far, I couldn't be more satisfied with the care and education I have received at Moss. read more

I had some significant discomfort in my neck and hips of which I thought would just reside after a few weeks of taking it easy. However, the pain did not go away and I considered going to an orthopedic. Moss Chiropractic was recommended to me and I was skeptical thinking a chiropractor would be able to help my issues. I have been blown away by the relief I experienced after a few short visits. My pain has totally subsided and my over-all health has improved since visiting Moss Chiropractic. Having never gone to a chiropractor, of course I was skeptical because I did not think my issue could be solved by this type of medicine. It is obvious to me that through their approach of adjustments, stretches and exercises, not only has my pain subsided but I feel great. The doctors are extremely approachable and well versed in their craft. I have recommended Moss to my family and they have also seen great improvements in their over all health. read more

Moss Chiropractic has been a godsend to me. I found them when I had a terrible pinched nerve because they were the closest practice to me and I could barely drive. Well, it was my lucky day. They made relieving my pain a priority and, within a few days, I was feeling much better. I then had a discussion about my spine health with Drs. Gabrielle and Ray which was enlightening to say the least. I had a car accident years before and had continued to have problems with my neck - despite fairly regular adjustments. We decided to make an assessment and I had X-rays taken. They showed subluxation beginning at the base of my neck. I am now working with Moss Chiropractic to change this and my years of poor posture. They are truly dedicated to their patients, which is refreshing. Top rate staff as well. I am so grateful for that pinched nerve! Bottom line - I feel better than I have in years. Thank you! read more

I am so thankful that someone recommended Moss Chiropractic to me. I am 28 years old and have lived with chronic neck and back pain for about ten years. I have been through two rounds of physical therapy, a year of chiropractic treatment (with a different chiropractor), and take more ibuprofen in a week than most people take in a year. After four weeks at Moss Chiropractor, I truly feel like a new person. None of the other health professionals I've seen have been able to accurately evaluate, diagnose, and treat me until now. Dr. Moss treats the young, the elderly, those in chronic pain and those who want to prevent pain by receiving chiropractic care. Not only will you receive wonderful care from Dr. Ray and Dr. Gabriella, but the staff is also so friendly and helpful. I am recommending Moss Chiropractic to all of my family members and friends! read more

I have been going to Moss Chiropractic for 6 months now and haven't felt better. I like their attention to detail.......their initial evaluation, pinpointing problems, and outlining a course of treatment that fit my needs. We spend years abusing our bodies, doing things that mis-align us so it only makes sense that we have to spend time through chiropractic and exercise to get back to normal. I have also been impressed by Moss' accounting people. They called my insurance company to understand what would be covered (and what's not) so I would have a full understanding of my out of pocket expenses. They have worked with me in getting my full coverage available. All in all my experience at Moss chiropractic has been very good and I'm looking forward to keeping my body in good condition for many years to come! read more

When I first went to Moss Chiropractic in 2012 I suffered from headaches, neck pain, and lower back pain. I was on pain medication three times a day and my sleep was affected. The doctors performed an extensive evaluation and diagnosed my neck and back problems and a course of treatment was developed specifically targeted for my problem areas. After just one treatment I was able to move my neck and felt relief from the pain. After several treatments I was able to come off of pain medication. I now sleep through the night uninterrupted by pain and discomfort. I highly recommend this friendly non invasive way of treating spine problems. Both the doctors and their staff are very caring and thoughtful and help anyway they can to improve your quality of health. read more

I have been a patient of Drs.Moss for many years. You will want to meet these doctors. Dr. Gabriella and Dr. Raymond Moss have been so helpful treating my neck condition (diagnosed as cervical stenosis).They took the time to explain my problem to me in terms I understood .They let me know what my options were and how I could help the condition with proper Chiropractic care and home exercises. You will not be rushed out of their office. What a RELIEF!!! this does not happen too often in health care facilities today .If you are not getting answers to your health problems and you are having trouble finding a doctor to listen. This is the office for you.I have referred many family members and friends to Drs. Moss. Now I am referring them to you. read more

Over the past couple of years, I started having intermittent sharp shooting pains along with tightness in my lower back. After hearing of my cousin's positive results from visiting a chiropractor where she lived for her issues, I decided to call and make an appointment with Moss Chiropractors in Olney. I didn't know what to expect, but found a caring team of very knowledgeable professionals, Dr. Ray (who does the adjustments) and Dr. Gabriella Moss (who communicates the importance of back health). They, along with their staff, have provided a very positive experience and outcome. Everyone is very friendly and after only 4 weeks, I feel like I sleep better and am more flexible without any back pain. Patty A. read more

I experienced a lot of back pain after an accident and my husband persuaded me to try a Chiropractor. New to the Rockville Area, I looked at the local business listing and found Moss Chiropractic. Dr. Gabbriella Moss gave a clear explanation of what was going and her partner Dr. Raymond Moss confirmed the explanation prior to my exercises and adjustments. They did an awesome job at alleviating the pain and making me feel comfortable with the entire process. In addition, the support staff at the practice are pleasant, polite, wonderful, understanding, and accommodating. I experienced clarity, compassion, and most importantly relief. I would highly recommend Moss Chiropractic & Wellness. read more
