I love Dr. Liu! I have been a patient for more than 7 years and the two words that come to mind immediately about his practice are kindness and communication. Dr. Liu and his office manager, Jeanette, truly care about their patients. That sounds like a no brainer, but in today's money hungry, slick and fast world, it is not easy to come by. I have come to Dr. Liu in severe pain at times, and it was clear that he really felt bad for me and wanted to help, which he did, consistently. At those times, I have never failed to get an appointment. Once, Dr. Liu even called me well after hours when I sent an SOS email. Who does that? Jeanette is on top of emails, often responding within minutes! It's crazy because I've gone to practices that ignore emails completely!! Another thing I love is that, unlike other chiropractors I've seen in the past, Dr. Liu is never pushy about coming back frequently. He suggests sometimes, but leaves it up to me. And believe me, my back always lets me know when it's time. Once I was stuck in Miami with severe back spasms. Urgent care gave me a steroid shot and pain meds and it didn't even touch the pain. Dr. Liu recognized the issue right away and fixed it with one adjustment!! Now I'm a believer. Great doctor, great people, great practice. Just sorry to see them being ousted from Crystal City, but they are worth traveling to anywhere. Trust me. read more

I used to live just a few blocks away, but moved home to Boston in October 2020; Dr. Liu is the only chiropractor I have ever been to, so when I had my travel plans finalized to visit friends in Arlington last week, I emailed Jeanette for an appointment. FYI, Jeanette is amazing: I emailed late on a Saturday or Sunday and she replied in no time! After a long drive from Boston, my back needed some attention (it needed attention even without a long drive!) and Dr. Liu had me bouncing out of the office 25 minutes later feeling great. As soon as I know when I will be back again (pun intended), I will schedule another appointment! read more

Dr. Liu is an ethical provider. Twice I have tried to see him for an issue and have been told that he is not the correct practitioner for my concern. (How many others might just roll the dice with a patient?) This last time, the information was brokered through Jeanette the office manager. I struggle to get called back from offices where I've been a client for years, and I get multiple calls from this office in a single day. Excellent customer service. I saw a massage therapist for my issue and was surprised to feel an improvement in my condition. Olivier is knowledgable and capable. Ambiance in the post-apocalyptic Crystal Underground area is not too inviting, but I don't care! read more

I wanted to add to my review from January to say that I have been going to see Dr Liu and Olivier on a much more regular basis. The results of this are absolutely wonderful and I recommend it for everyone. My body, mind, and heart are feeling the benefits- I respond quickly to the treatment and my body is "remembering" what it feels like to be in balance. I now go to appointments to sustain my good health instead of going to get "fixed" and it is a much better approach. I remain extremely grateful to Axis Rehab and Chiropractic for the incredible gift of health I receive from them- they are the best! read more

Having had both the chiropractic session and a massage therapy session is definitely give this place a big thumbs up. I found Dr Liu to be very knowledgeable and professional and helpful with what was concerning me. Parking can be a bit of a pain so be aware. But this is definitely a good choice for the service. read more

I live around the area and never seen this place. I asked in my community chat where the best place for massages were and Axis popped up. I saw Dr. Liu twice to get checked up, he was very patient in listening to me and performed an amazing adjustment on my body, I felt like a new person right after the visit. I also had my first massage with TG and she was amazing. She focused on the areas that needed more pressure and I left with such great relief. This will definitely be my place for any massage and similar needs. Massage price is very fair compared to random massage places, the therapists are well trained here. Can't wait for my next visit!! read more

Dr. Liu is wonderful! I had to come here to have my lower back and neck cracked. Had an accident back in 2003 and still suffer stiffens and deep pain every 2-3 years so have to get a couple of adjustments and I'm good again. Well it was extremely easy, went in twice and he could tell I was out of wack, put a heating pad on my back then about 10 mins later started his magic! Went twice and I'm good again for another couple of years! Thanks Dr. Liu! Oh and they validate so it's very easy to park there! read more

I've been receiving chiropractic care from Dr. Liu since 2004, I can't imagine getting my chiropractic care anywhere else. Dr. Liu, Jeanette and all the staff that work here at Axis Rehab are great hard working individuals. Looking for a good chiropractor, you don't need to look any further. Give this office a try. read more

I saw Dr Liu today and I didn't realize how badly my hips were misaligned and he did such a good job of quickly identifying the problem and fixing it! So great! Also Amanda is wonderful and helpful! read more

Simply the best Chiropractor. If you have back pain, then, you need to see Dr. Liu. I can't emphasize how awesome he is.

I hurt my back lifting something I shouldn't. Dr. Liu was able to identify my problem as related to muscle injury instead of a disc problem. He adjusted me and I felt a lot of relief that night. I went the next week for another adjustment and felt even better that night. By the time I got to my third and final appointment my back was almost all better so I asked him to look at my right hip, which had been bugging me for years. It's so much better now. I liked how Dr. Liu was focused on the practical matter of my injury. He wasn't trying to get me to keep coming back. Three visits and he was done. His office also runs very efficiently. read more

Dr Liu is terrific! He is one of the very best chiropractors that I have been to see. Very friendly as well as technically excellent. Courteous staff, too. read more

I'm usually skeptical of chiropractors. My experiences with other chiropractors were ones who talked too much while I was on the table, only slightly adjust me then insist I keep coming back for them to keep slightly adjusting. I only needed to quickly be realigned because I slept on a bad mattress. Dr. Liu was very professional, provided the answers to my questions, and did a great job adjusting me back to normal. He cracked my body like a glowstick! My neck felt much better the first time I went and even better the second time! He didn't push me to come back but simply said, "You're good now, come back if you need anything else." read more

At the ripe old age of 41 I decided to stop walking half-marathons and begin to incorporate some running. The mind was willing, but the body had other ideas . . . namely an incredibly painful hip that had me limping most of the time. I had heard a lot of people raving about chiropractic therapy so I decided to try that instead of going to my MD who always says "rest and take ibuprophen" Dr. Amy came highly recommended by a co-worker, and since she is located right across the street from my job I made an appointment . . . . (by the way, the office manager, Amanda, is extremely helpful and friendly and got me in there within a day). From the very first appointment I felt better immediately!! I walked in the office in pain and out of the office walking on a cloud. Within a few appointments my pain was managed. Now I just go for monthly adjustments. I don't know how she does it, but Dr. Amy has the magic touch. (and she takes my insurance) read more

The kind doctor who makes me "whole" again is very professional, personable and an excellent chiropractor. I had neck and shoulders pain for months, and only 3 sections with him, 99% of my pain were gone. He has a very cheerful, warm and kind personality. It was always a delightful experience on every visit. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to be pain free. read more

TG gives the best massages in the DMV! Schedule her in advance as she only works weekends. The place is clean and the staff is wonderful. Jeanette always reminds me of my appointments and is really helpful! read more

Dr. Liu is amazing. I feel immediate results every time, and his adjustments always last awhile. I also love that he is honest and upfront about what type of care is needed, and doesn't push coming for an adjustment everyday for a year like other chiros. The office staff is also great and responsive- and always has patience for my challenging schedule. read more

I really wanted to be able to see Dr. Liu given the reviews from patients and the fact that I have some serious hip pain and am new to the area and in need of a chiropractor, but I have called repeatedly as well as sent emails and no one ever answers the phone nor returns email. How are you supposed to get an appointment? It's ridiculous. read more

Dr. Liu and Amanda are wonderful. Their whole administrative process is great, and Dr. Liu is very kind, caring, and expert in his care. He is curious about what is ailing you, and he has been effective each time I has seen him. I've been seeing him for several years now, and he is one of my favorite people in the DC area. Go here, you will be extremely happy you did. Dr. Liu, you have a customer for as long as I'm in the DMV. read more

I had had a knee pain for the last two years. Went to multiple doctors that prescribed multiple things. Nothing made any difference. The last doctor insisted on orthopedic inserts that added hip pain to the knee pain. Went to see Dr. Liu upon my husband's recommendation - no knee pain anymore. Amazing knowledgeable doctor. I have gone to other chiropractors, but he is the best by far. Even if you don't think your pains are related to the spine being out of whack, go see Dr. Liu, he will know and help. read more

Amy's great. I've had my back adjusted from her several times and I always feel great after I leave. She's really easy going and makes the whole adjustment process seamless. She's super nice and upbeat. Axis is also conveniently located in the gym that I go to so getting there is pretty simple. Appointments are fairly easy to get unless you need one the same day, which is almost impossible to get here. read more

I've been coming here for over a year and always excellent service and quality treatments. I'm happy to recommend them to anyone

I always read reviews on yelp for everything, so I want to start posting what I think after I try it myself. I visited Dr. Amy and she is fabulous. She's very personable and really knows what she's talking about. I would recommend her to anyone. The only reason why I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is because I go to the location in Bally's and it's a bit small and awkward. read more

Dr. Liu made my back and neck pain go away! I wasn't totally sold on the idea of a Chiropractor, but he was recommended to me by a loyal patient, and she was right. Each experience was wonderful. I'm very glad that I went. I very much like Dr. Liu's upbeat personality and his expertise. I felt very comfortable in the office and I trust him immensely (A quality you want when someone is making your neck crackle!). Amanda, the office manager, is warm and welcoming. She keeps the place incredibly organized and is very professional. The location is a bit buried in the Crystal City underground. It's almost at the end of the tunnel branch that lets out onto 23rd street. The best way to get there from the metro is follow the signs that point to 23rd street. read more

Writing to reassure anyone and everyone who needs a fantastic chiropractor that they will be in a safe, impeccably clean and germ free environment at Axis Rehab. Dr. Liu is the best and the office manager is kind, warm and welcoming...I am usually the type of person who would cancel given the current circumstances but I did not because I know I can trust Axis Rehab to not only provide the best services but to do so in a place I can feel totally comfortable. Highest recommendation possible! read more

I have been going to Dr. Liu for a shoulder problem and have found him to be extremely knowlegeable and caring. He doesn't just treat your symptons but looks to identify the root of the problem. He has wonderful patient rapport and listens to what you say. His treatment continues after you leave the office as he will give you excercises to address the problem. Amanda, his office manager is wonderfully helpful and always pleasant. Amanda sets the tone for what is a calming and delightful atmoshphere. Even though the office is on schedule you never feel hurried. I appreciate the fact that the practice has later hours to accomodate people that work during the day so I can come after work. In addition there are two offices to make it easier for appointment scheduling. I can't say enough good things about Axis Rehab. read more

I have been seeing a Chiropractor once a month for about 10 years. I have seen maybe five different ones during that time. Dr. Liu is one of the best. He was actually recommended to me by another Chiro who see's him as a patient. Parking and scheduling is easy and the treatments are fast, safe and efficient. read more

I don't know how I managed to forget to review this location, especially since the Pentagon City one has been closed for a good while. Better late than never though. I've been seeing Dr Liu for about a year and a half now, and saw his former partner for a good while before that. I've always been happy. I've seen some shady chiropractors in my time, but Dr Liu is about as far from shady as they get. He listens when you tell him what's going on, asks the right questions, and ensures that you're comfortable above all else. Whereas the shady chiropractors I've seen before were all about getting me in their office (read:spending money) as often as possible, Dr Liu has always made it clear that his goal is to get me in less frequently. That makes me feel good. His treatments are personalized not only to my normal issues, but to what I say that day. He's gotten me through a couple of rough spots, each time addressing the specific issue and recommending follow ups and additional stretches and exercises in such a way that I have never once felt as though he is even thinking about how much money he could make off of me. The office manager, Amanda, is awesome. Really no other way to describe her. She is EXACTLY who people should want to be the first impression of their business, especially when its a small business like Axis Rehab. On several occasions I've woken up in pain and called, and every time Amanda has worked with me to get me in as soon as possible, no problem. She keeps the place running smoothly. Don't let the low-key location in the Crystal City underground fool you. Walking into that office is nothing at all like walking into a regular doctor's office. I like him well enough that I recommend him to all of my friends that mention wanting to see a chiropractor. At least two of them now see him regularly. Axis Rehab truly is as good as it gets. Oh, and its metro accessible, but if you drive, they validate parking in the 20th street lot. read more

LOVE Dr. Lui. He has literally been a lifesaver. We are posted overseas and every time we are in DC or temporarily posted here for training I rely on him to help me survive the stress of travel and temporary quarters (aka terrible beds). He is just fabulous and I highly recommend him read more

Cannot agree more with the other 5 star reviews here. I've gone to over a dozen chiropractors in the last two decades and Dr. Lui is definitely one of the best. He's got a great 'bedside manner' and I normally feel my symptoms improving within a few sessions. Jeanette, the office manager, is also great, very friendly and helpful (which is rare in office staff for medical practitioners around here, I've found). I get a lot of neck/back/shoulder pain and definitely recommend him for any of that! And the office is conveniently in the Crystal City Underground, so if you're metro'ing you wouldn't even have to go outside. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Liu for YEARS, and there is no better chiropractor in the city. Period. If I could give out more than 5 stars, I would give it several times over. My husband and I have both attended this practice for a long time, and count Dr. Liu (and also Amanda, the lovely lady who runs the practice) as dear friends. They always make our experience enjoyable and happy. Dr. Liu does not just adjust your spine...he goes above and beyond what most chiropractors do. He makes sure that he understands your life, including your exercise and work routine and what effect it can have on the health of your muscles and spine. He shows you exercises you can do at home to strengthen your back and shoulders, which relieves so much of your pain. Most doctors just give you a spinal adjustment and send you on your way...but Dr. Liu is way better than any normal doctor. Dr. Liu is friendly and kind, but always a consummate professional. He is extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the health of all of his patients. I cannot remember how I originally found Dr. Liu's practice...but it's one of the best things I ever did. Amanda runs the front office and the financial/insurance issues for the practice. She is not only extremely competent and organized, but she has such a warm and funny personality that always makes my visit a comfortable and fun experience. Yes, I go to have my spine adjusted, but I love visiting this practice because I genuinely care about the staff and what is going on in their lives. I always look forward to going to Axis Rehab, and not just because I know my back will feel better. Clearly, I cannot say enough good things about this office. With two different locations, they are very convenient and will work with your schedule to find a way to accommodate you. It's the best doctor's office that I've ever had. read more

I have seen Dr. Lou for years, and he is wonderful. Very knowledgeable and listens to what the patient has to say. I have also used the massage therapy services, which have also been great. The receptionist, Jeanette, is amazing. She is kind, responsive, and has a great sense of humor. The whole office is well run and responds quickly to emails or phone calls. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Dr.Liu and his staff are very professional and friendly. I never experience wait times when I arrive for my appointments. He is very personable and knowledgeable in his expertise. I recently began routinely coming here for neck/shoulder/upper back pain and experienced improvement of my pain after only one session. Another perk I've noticed is my horrible daily allergy symptoms have vanished since I've been seeking treatments and I no longer experience my awful frequent headaches that last 3 days. The office is very clean and conveniently located near crystal city metro. I would hands down definitely recommend this practice to anyone. read more

I never write Yelp reviews but felt compelled because Dr. Liu is amazing. I started going to Dr. Liu in April 2008 for an inflamed sciatic nerve that was a result of an injury from my time in the military. Nearly six years on, Dr. Liu has been instrumental in helping manage my pain from back arthritis, sciatica, and whip lash from an old car accident. Yes, I am a hot mess, lol. But Dr. Liu has helped make me less of a hot mess. His office is clean, well-lit, conveniently located in the Crystal City mall, and they provide validated parking. His office manager Jeannette is great with appointment scheduling and handling of insurance--in the six years I have been going I have never had a problem getting an appointment time that I wanted. Bottom line, if you need a chiropractor, give these guys a try! I promise you won't regret it. read more

Dr. Liu is a phenomenal chiropractor. He is friendly and helpful. He begins each session by placing heating pads on your back to help loosen the muscles. The adjustments are spot on. read more

Dr. Liu is phenomenal! His approach toward patient care is all inclusive and he works with you to develop a schedule and solution that you're both comfortable with to develop an outcome that will sustain itself long after you leave the appointment. Thank you! read more

I saw Julie for a prenatal massage this afternoon and WOW!! She is something else! I'd been experiencing lower back pain, no doubt a product of a progressing pregnancy in conjunction with my inability to quit Zumba along with a bad mattress. I saw Dr. Liu who gave me an initial eval and worked a few kinks out on my back and sides and proceeded to recommend Julie for a prenatal massage. This was hands down the best massage I've had in years, even outdoing some of the Swedish and hot stone massages I've had in the past (granted they were at Massage Envy sites, so anything is better than that!) My back feels great and even my little zumbini baby was giving me its flutter of approval afterwards! I will be back! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Lui for almost 4 years now for neck and back pain. I went to him following a terrible visit at a previous chiropractor. I had been seeing the previous chiropractor for almost 3 months but was seeing no change in my symptoms or health. I found Dr. Liu and after only a month with him noticed significant changes in the way I was feeling. He is great at listening to the patient, asks lots of questions about symptoms and walks through treatments catering to each patient and their issues. He is personable, friendly and professional. They also have fantastic massage therapists. I have been seeing Greg along with Dr. Liu to work through some stiffness in my neck and hips. He is a very talented and experienced professional. He listens to what is causing you problems and together works through a treatment plan. I've only been seeing him for a short time but have already seen a significant change in my level of pain and overall health has improved. They have multiple therapists so it's just a matter of finding that right therapist for your body. I have referred many of my friends to Dr. Liu and would recommend his office to anyone chiropractic or massage therapy care. read more

The space is small and not a traditional office (more of a cube farm), but don't let that stop you from seeing Dr. Liu. He is the best chiropractor ever. His treatment techniques (massage, heat, stimulation, adjustment) are relaxing and make an incredible difference! Make an appt today. :) read more

I have been going to Axis off and on for the last two years. When I first went there because of my jacked-up shoulders and neck, I was in major pain. She touched me, cracked me and scared me but I left there pain free. Everyone around me including myself were very happy. I continued for a few more months and was healed. Dr. Amy was my personal angel who I shared with other folks who she brought happiness to like myself. Even though Dr. Amy is gone (Miss you..), Dr. Liu is a perfect replacement. He has the touch too. Call this place the Angel touch hangout. Your prayers will be answered. You will leave this place like a kid with ice cream all of your face because nothing will matter any more because you feel GREAT! read more
