The team here are THE BEST! I started going to Potomac Valley Chiropractic just over a year ago to see Dr. Spiro Theodore, and to say I showed up in rough shape would be an understatement. What started as plantar fasciitis turned into a tear thanks to marathon training (and yes... I kept running on it). By the time I first walked into the office, I was in a boot and wondering if I could finish a marathon again... but of course with the goal to do so. Over the course of the past year, Dr. Spiro and his incredible team have been kind, patient, and, most importantly fun to work with. They made what could have been a frustrating recovery into something I actually looked forward to. From realignment and needling to promote healing, to fitting me with proper insoles and even connecting me with experts for the best running shoes, every step was thoughtful and tailored. A special shoutout to Dr. Diaz as well, who gave me additional stretches that were key in strengthening my legs and supporting my return to running. Our goal from day one was to get me back to the start line of the London Marathon on April 26, 2026, and not just to finish, but to come back stronger. And somehow, we did exactly that. One year later, I didn't just run it, I set a new PR, shaving 9 minutes off my previous marathon time. The 2026 London Marathon was incredible, with 59,830 finishers and historic performances, including Sebastian Sawe running an WORLD RECORD 1:59:30 marathon breaking the two-hour barrier and setting the fastest time in history. To even be part of an event like that felt special... to get there after where I started feels unreal. I truly cannot recommend Potomac Valley Chiropractic enough. They didn't just help me heal, they helped me come back better than ever. Honestly, they deserve a lot of credit for that PR too! read more

Dr. Spiro is unsurpassed. He and his wife and the entire staff are so kind and they truly care. Even when I lost my father, they sent a card signed by everyone with true condolences. Their kindness is only outweighed by Dr. Spiro's expertise. I've been going to chiropractors for 20 years, since I was a teenager, and I have never gotten the true improvement in my comfort and quality of life that I get after being treated by Dr. Spiro. I'm so thankful I found him, and I will never go anywhere else. read more

My 5-star rating is given following more than 12 sessions with the great Dr. Spiro. The five stars are given using my criteria of (1) a high level of professionalism, (2) a great doctor-patient report, (3) very important doctor's ability to explain in layman's terms what and why he is doing what he is doing; (4) promptness for appointments; (5) a comfortable kind family atmosphere, and efficiency by the staff in the office; (6) respect for the patients by all especially towards seniors (I am 75); and finally (7) general respect for what the patient is going through outside the office that may affect the level of discomfort and/or pain level they are experiencing. This is a 5-star office run by a 5-star chiropractor. I love this practice and the staff and would highly recommend it. It is the only doctor's office I ever bought bundt cupcakes for the entire staff as a token of appreciation! read more

My family and I have been seeing Dr. T for 18 years, and we can't recommend him highly enough. Knowledgeable, warm, caring, and kind are all characteristics of Dr. T and his entire staff. His lovely wife runs the front of the office to perfection. So grateful for you all! read more

I had a chest and back pain that I thought was some sort of heart problem. I went to Dr.T. He cracked me and the pain was gone! I had been on vacation sleeping on many different beds and apparently got a kink in my back that caused a pain from my back to my front. I was so stressed about it. He was my last attempt before a cardiologist. Thank you Dr. T! read more

I have been coming here for over a year and from the entire office staff to Dr. T, I have nothing but positive things to say. I had a back surgery seven years ago and Dr. T was able to alleviate chronic back pain and maintain alignment. Office personnel are friendly, courteous and responsive! read more

I'm a full time firefighter so I get my share of aches and pains. I had been to two different chiropractors prior to seeing Dr. Theodore. They gave me some general adjustments but nothing beyond that. I had always had some minor chronic back pain that I just couldn't shake, even with stretching. The first time I sat down with Dr. Theodore, he diagnosed me with some issues that I had no idea I had. I started seeing him a couple times a week, and several weeks later my back pain is virtually gone. I go to home once a week now for maintenance and I always leave feeling better. I cannot recommend Potomac Valley Chiropractic enough. Dr. Theodore is amazing and his staff is very friendly and professional. Go make an appointment today! read more

Dr Theodore is amazing as well as the staff. This has been life changing for me!! 100% recommend.

I cannot say enough good things about Potomac Valley Chiropractic! Dr. Theodore is a miracle worker and natural entertainer, with the hilarious personality of the fun uncle you always wanted. He's wacky in the best ways, and anyone who considers laughter to be an essential part of healing should make an appointment today. Even though chiropractic treatments can hurt sometimes, I've never left 'feeling' hurt. I always feel better after his treatments and always come back for more! Dr. Theodore's business partner, office administrator, and assiduous wife, Joann, keeps the space in gleaming condition (with rotating décor) for patients and their families to enjoy week after week. Each of her staff are helpful and charming, and their personalities shine through the care they give. Every time I walk into the office I feel like I am coming home to kin. If this testimonial isn't enough to convince you to schedule, you must know that at the end of every session (or before if you so please), you get to use their fancy, full-body massage chairs. Don't skip out on these. They are a fabulous addition to your treatment, and a merciful respite to your day. Trust me when I say the folks at Potomac Valley Chiropractic will take care of you! read more

I was injured by Spiro Theodore when he made an adjustment. My ribs popped and I jumped off the table in severe pain. I found out later, my ribs intercostals were torn as a result. He was using too much force and was not mindful about what he was doing. I saw two different chiropractor after that to get support and they said he should have never done that type of manipulation on my spine like he did. He admitted he made a mistake and apologized when I talked with him on the phone but several weeks afterwards would not recognize that when I had to pay a lot of money to see others chiropractors, he would not compensate me for what he said "I want to make it right". He basically was hiding behind his excuses and denial even though he initially told me on the phone that he wanted to make it right. He didn't even offer to refund me that one visit. He sees clients every 5 minutes like a factory automation. I really thought he was of much higher integrity when he said he wanted to make it right but when it came down to paying for my visits to another chiropractor in my recovery, he declined and said he did nothing wrong. read more

I have been going to Spiro for years and will keep going! He is an experienced chiropractor and I feel much better after my appointments. The office runs smoothly thanks to Joanne.

Dr. Spiro (Dr. T) is awesome! He is the epitome of what a caretaker should be to their patients. Patients come first in his practice as well as his office staff.

The staff is great and very helpful. This was the 2nd chiropractor I saw to help me. The first chiropractor, I saw did not come close to the high level of service at Potomac Valley Chiropractic. The staff and doctor exceeded my expectations. read more

Potomac Valley Chiropractic - A former patient. - Chiropractors Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Life is good! For six weeks, I suffered from sciatic nerve pain that had me spending painful nights attempting to sleep in my bed only to escape to the recliner. Who would have thought a chiropractor would be the answer for managing my pain? Large doses of Ibuprofen certainly were not. I met Dr. Spiro Theodore of Potomac Valley Chiropractic at a health fair. While I was rather skeptical, Dr. Theodore's provided an explanation for the pain and a recommendation for treatment that made sense. I decided to give chiropractic treatment a try. Immediately, I experienced relief. No more sleeping in the recliner! My back and sciatica issues are a work in progress, but the immediate and continuing pain relief is liberating. Oh, he fixed my wrist and neck pain too! Yay, definitely better than surgery. The office runs on time. Dr. Theodore and his staff are friendly and caring. I highly recommend this practice for chiropractic care. Give it a try for that bad back or nerve pain problem. read more

Very pleasant staff. Very pleasant environment. Parking was a breeze. Dr. Theodore is very personable, sincere and does a great job fixing my back issues. Highly recommended. read more

I was recommended to this practice by a family member who said Dr. Spiro was the only practitioner who had been able to help with the complexity of their problems. I came in to work on my tight shoulders, as a result of too much computer work and age. I saw some progress then had a sports injury (torn meniscus) that we've been treating along with the shoulders. I have seen good progress with a combination of dry needling and adjustments. What I like most about the practice is the feeling that Dr. Spiro always listens to me, never talks down to me as some doctors can do. He has been willing to change the treatment plan in order to get better results. The office staff has been most welcoming and they all have taken strict measures to comply with the new covid standards. If they were not this good, I would not drive an hour to see them for my appointments. read more
