I've worked in health care for 30 years. I've had surgeries, chiropractic, acupuncture, PT, massage, even hypnosis (which didn't work), you name it. I've seen maybe 15 chiropractors in my life for various back and neck ailments. Half of them were no good. The other half were good and brought the ongoing relief that I needed. Dr. Piokowski is in the top of that group of excellent chiropractors. He's patient, takes extra time to explain what he is going to do, and manipulates you with only the right amount of force to adjust you. Also, he is a great guy and anyone who brings his dog to work will put you at ease right away. As an example of his focus on you, during one visit I thought I was done and headed to the exit. But something didn't feel quite right in my neck - I think it stiffened up again before I made it out the door. He immediately called me right back into the room and made the extra adjustment and asked me to wait five minutes to see if my neck was going to stiffen again. Truly focused on your health. And I don't even write that many Yelp reviews, but I wanted to be sure that you know that he is good, very reasonably priced for those of us who have limited chiropractic insurance coverage or pay cash, and you will get the cracks and relief that you need to get back to your normal. An excellent practitioner. read more

Dr. Rich found the trouble spots and helped ease my pain. Great manipulative technique. Good instructions for aftercare and maintenance. Ozzie, the office dog is super friendly and calm. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Piorkowski for a couple of years now on a as needed basis, after originally coming in for back pain that PT did not help with. After the first visit, walked out feeling relief. Dr. Rich knows how to "man-handle" me, and I like it. read more

See all

Fantastic appointment. No B.S., knowledgeable and genuinely wanting to help. My first treatment was great, his therapy felt better than most. I have had a disk surgery and every 4 Chiros adjustments hurt that area, SOMEHOW this Chiro, along with his pre adjustment routine and holds on pressing and stretching made every adjustment 100% pain-free. I'm going back for me!! I feel great!!!!! DON'T HESITATE, GIVE HIM A TRY!! read more

Yoooo my lower back was killing me so I made an appointment with Richard. The office is nice- has everything you need. Rich was great, he loosened my back up so well that I bought 5 extra sessions. Highly recommend Bonus points for the awesome office dog- Ozzy read more

Highly recommend! I was a massage therapist for a decade and I've seen several chiropractors. I'd been using groupon to try out chiropractors for a while but didn't return to any until I found Dr Richard Piorkowski at Evergreen. Due to life circumstances and covid, it took 18 months between my groupon appointment and when I came back, but I remembered where I wanted to go. I was not disappointed! A great experience and nicely efficient (at one practice I visited, you could not get out in less than ah hour). Do yourself a favor and book your appointment now! read more

Dr. Rich is very skilled at knowing exactly how to get a good adjustment using the perfect amount of pressure to get results quickly. I have been to many chiropractors throughout my life and could tell from my first visit that he knows how to get the job done! Not too rough, not too gentle, I highly recommend him! read more

Dr. Piorkowski is truly a class act. He really took the time to listen to me and and help me recover. Would recommend him to anyone seeking a trusty chiropractor read more

I can't thank Dr Richard enough for helping me get back to 100 . I hurt myself at the gym and within 2 visits all my back pain was gone! He explained to me how I injured myself and what to do relieve my pain. I've never been to a chiropractor before and didn't know what to expect. He made me feel comfortable right away and so happy I chose to come here! I told all my friends and family how much a life saver he was because the gym is everything to me lol. Moving forward I will be coming back for regular visits without no doubt. read more

Dr. P is a healer. And I trust him because he's no nonsense. I also truly admire his bedside manner and my observation of his interactions with each and every patient. I also have mad respect that he communicates in Spanish with those who need it. He truly cares and knows what he's doing. He's the only one who's been able to make me feel human again after so many years of physical pain. read more

In a very short review, I will say that Dr. Piorkowski's Chiropractic work made me feel amazing! Appointments seem very convenient and easy to get as well. His bedside manners were also great which is important and rare to find nowadays with any doctor or medical office. I am unsure of pricing if you don't have insurance since my healthcare policy covers Chiropractic services. Snap. Crackle. Pop. Sleep. Rejuvenate. read more

Definitely 5 stars.... I was on a tear earlier this year, working out at least six days a week and running 7-8 miles per day. In late July, while sitting at home and not doing anything stressful I noticed a sharp pain in my lower back and it hurt real bad. This pain went on for a few weeks. It was excruciating pain to say the least. So much so, I stopped going to the gym for a while. At first, I was a bit timid about seeing a chiropractor but after speaking with some of my friends I decided to give it a whirl. I found Dr. P on yelp, yes yelp and talk about a success story. I started seeing him regularly and have noticed the pain has faded away and now it's gone and I'm back to my old routine. He is smart, easy to talk to, and knows his stuff. I even have started to refer my friends to him - something I rarely do unless I'm really impressed with a business. One of my wife's friends really likes him too and has told me that he has done wonders for her back/neck. Additionally, I have found him to be very flexible with my hectic work schedule which is a big plus. He is very knowledgeable about the human body and very skilled in his profession. Highly recommended! read more

Dr. P is the man!!! I was very reluctant to try chiropractor - until my back was in so much pain from dead lifts that I couldn't get up off the living room floor. Then I went to Dr.P, and the work he's done has changed the quality of my life. I've been seeing him for over 4 month's now, with amazing results - my back pain is gone, and I feel stronger and healthier. He is smart, compassionate, and extremely skilled - he knows the human body and all of its quirks, and he can take one look at you and know why you have pain and how to get rid of it. I recommend Dr. P to everyone I know who complains of back pain. read more

This was my first time EVER going to a chiropractor. I had pulled a muscle in my back from shoveling snow and caused to be in a spasm. I had no choice but to go and needed someone fast in the area. After reading their reviews and finding out they accept United Healthcare, I setup my appointment. There was no wait pretty much. He made me feel very comfortable. And very professional. He could tell what was wrong with me just from an explanation of my pain and looking at me. No X-rays needed. During my first treatment and adjustments, I never experienced any pain. He made sure I was relaxed. Even the dreaded neck crack was so much easier than I thought. At the end of that evening I felt SO much better just after the initial treatment. I'll be going back tomorrow to hopefully crack out that tense area that was in a spasm. read more

It has been since 2008-2009 that I was trying to get some relief for my back and neck pain and to see a chiropractor ‍ but every one I went to, they told they can't help because of multiple back implants. Well finally here in VA/DC I set an appointment with one (read good reviews) just giving a last chance with the hope that someone can think outside of the box and give me relief without medications. Tricare and VA does not cover chiropractic appointments so I decided to pay and see what comes from it. Best decision I made, this doctor is amazing first time in almost 9 years I felt the pressure relief in my neck and low back. The mid back is a work in progress as he said it will need a lots of work, but he is optimistic. My back sounded live bubble wrap popping!!! And he is pet friendly:) Thank you Dr. Richard C. Piorkowski for helping an suffering Army Vet. read more

I had originally gone to Dr. P with a online coupon then returned after a accident I had. I was in a 4 car pile-up on Little River Turnpike mid March which left my vehicle with over $7k in damages and my back/neck very sore for weeks. The treatment went as planned. I was in-and-out in less than 30 minutes. But his office is a little old and so is the equipment. And he has a dog which if you're allergic to pets(i wasn't) it may be an issue. If you need a chiro or were in a accident, go to Dr. P. The report he typed up for my lawyers office was VERY detailed but it did take longer than usual. Not to mention he made sure I was 100% before I finished my treatment. Minus one star for the old-looking office and the report taking longer than he had originally stated. read more

Best place to go if you are looking for a professional and experienced Chiroproctor that and the best bedside manner makes him the top notch

Dr. P is the best! I've dealt with back issues a very long time. It started acting up again last spring/summer when I injured my ankle (getting old sucks - I'm falling apart!), so in desperation I started looking for a chiropractor. Past clinics I'd gone to would want me doing herbal/meditation/stretches and crap and never seemed to just tell me straight what the problem was. Not Dr. P! And I appreciate it! While seeing him last summer for my lower back, I blew out a disk jumping in a pool to fish out my kid. He straight on told me I was not going to get through this without major drugs. He later sent me for an MRI, then gave me the name of an excellent neurosurgeon who fixed me up a month later. I haven't been back to see Dr. P since my surgery, but I'm thinking I need to get back in for a tune-up (plus, we miss Mojo the dog!). I highly recommend Dr. P to anyone with ongoing back issues! read more

What can I say?? OMG so much!! I'm just super happy and grateful to find doctor Richard! I started feeling sciatica like pain down my leg little over 2 years ago and that worsen over time. I went to see an orthopedic got some X-Rays done just to be told everything looked normal. I did 6 Weeks physical therapy and didn't help much. After getting an MRI done I was told nothing serious but a minor disk bulge that should not be causing this level of pain. I end up having pain on my right arm/shoulder same side as the leg and didn't know what to think. I went to a neurologist and after a brain MRI, EKG still nothing was found. After that I was referred to a pain specialist who gave me a steroid shot on my lower back saying it had to be the disk bulge because that's the only thing he could see in the MRI report even though it shouldn't be causing this much pain. I suggested that maybe it was SI joint dysfunction but he said he didn't think so. The steroid shot didn't help so I declined to take a second one! We did a sacrolumbar X-Rays and was told all was normal! I went through hell and thought I was losing it. I almost gave up and thought I would just live with this awful pain that hindered me from working out and doing things I enjoy. Last resort I was like I will try a chiropractor and that's it because I was tired of going to doctors all the time, endless money being spent and no results. After looking through Yelp I found Dr Richard and given all the good reviews I decided to give it a try. After I went to see him the first time, my pain was 80% gone!! I was like holy shit! I got home literally dancing and so happy I was finally getting somewhere. Now after few more sessions I am pretty much healed and just taking it easy since I lived with this for little over 2 years. I am slowly getting back to my activities and I'm so damn happy!! Dr Richard is the best!!! read more

Dr. Piorkowski has benefited my back greatly, dealing with pain my medical doctor did not correctly diagnose -- and without drugs. I highly recommend him. read more

I have been going to Dr. Rich for 15 years. He is absolutely wonderful! The office has a very friendly environment. Dr. Rich is simply a magician. After two children my list of aches has continued to grow over the years. He is always willing to listen and work through my many back issues. Over the years I have referred a number of colleagues and friends to Dr. Rich. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive! I rely on the doc to put me back together again after a bad month. I only wish I could get to see him more. My husband has also gone to Dr. Rich for years and echoes my thoughts. Dr. Rich is a consummate professional and will work with any issue you bring to him. His office staff has always been very good about insurance billing. If only all of my doctors were as wonderful as Dr. Rich! read more

The treatment I received was 5star. Would recommend this chiropractor to anyone! After an injury, I was having neck and lower back pain. That pain is a memory thanks to Dr. Rick. Even though I am healed, I will return to make sure I'm aligned and less stiff. Get the heat treatments, definitely helped my muscles and joints relax. read more

Thank God for Dr Richard. My right arm has been hurting for two weeks. I thought I could take care of it myself but was wrong. I saw Dr Richard today. He asked a few questions, did his wonderful magic on my arm and now I can enjoy my weekend. Dr Richard know exactly what to do to make a person feel better. He is honest, professional, and my family trusts him completely. read more

I have had back issues for years and have utilized the services of many chiropractic professionals. Dr. Piorkowski is right at the top of the list. I prefer an energetic adjustment and this is precisely what is delivered. My chronic pain is diminished greatly every time I visit. I had moved out of state for about a 2 year period, but during that time every visit I made to NOVA included a visit to Evergreen Chiropractic and Dr. Piorkowski. His work is that good. read more

I've been seeing chiropractors off and on for the last 20+ years, and Dr. Piorkowski is by far the best! I started suffering from severe migraines years ago, and while nothing has been able to completely cure them, in the last two weeks of seeing Dr.Piorkowski, the length and duration of them has greatly decreased. Also, the knots in my shoulders that typically cause rebound headaches have virtually disappeared. He explained all this to me and made me feel very comfortable with the adjustment because it always freaks me out. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Rich and of course Mojo!! read more

He's great, effecient, and does not beat around the bush. Been there 2 times and my backs improved ten-fold! Highly recommend.

This was my first ever visit to a chiropractor. I'm one of those guys that avoids going to the doctor unless I think it is absolutely necessary. Had a mysterious pain in my left hamstring that I could not attribute to any activity. It kind of just appeared one day...and it would NOT go away. Gradually it got worse and worse over the course of a month. At first, it would hurt every time I stood up, and then it started to hurt on and off all the time --- sitting, standing, walking and laying down. At times the pain was so bad it made my eyes water. I thought maybe I had a pinched nerve. I was taking more and more Advil to help make it bearable. Seeing my GP would have been a waste of time. I knew that I needed an excellent chiropractor. As usual, I turned to the YELP community for assistance. Dr Rich had glowing reviews from his loyal patients. I knew that he could help me after reading what other YELPERS had to say about him Dr Rich asked me some questions, did an examination of my posture and located my problem areas quickly. He treated me with some electrical muscle stimulation, a spinal and neck adjustment and a hardcore massage of affected areas. He explained each treatment and let me know what to expect. He also gave me some exercises I needed to perform to help heal my leg problem and improve my lower back. After the first treatment I immediately noticed improvement. With each day the pain lessened. After the 2nd treatment ( 5 days later) more improvement, and I was about 80% pain free. After the 3rd treatment (7 days later) I am about 95% pain free and almost completely back to normal. I have another session tomorrow and am hoping this will be the final one for this issue. After this session I'll continue to see Dr Rich for spinal and neck adjustments as recommended or necessary. The benefit of going in for this mystery pain in my leg is realizing how much better I feel after the adjustments --- more energy, better sleep, better breathing, etc, etc. I wish I had done this ages ago. A little maintenance can go a long way to preventing problems before they occur. read more

The doctor is really friendly, but the billing has been a challenge.

Came in for reoccurring neck and shoulder pain, my GP just told me to take advil, and pain was not getting better, I had to stop going to the gym. Richard was quick to notice I had bad posture and quickly treated me with some much needed spinal adjustments. Doc was very professional and treatments where quick and painless. Left his office feeling 100% better. Highly recommend Dr P and Evergreen Chiropractic. read more

My husband and I both had our first appointment with Dr. Rich Piorkowki today, and we are both extremely impressed. We purchased Groupons for his clinic last winter and had no problems at all using them today, which we appreciated. We each had a different situation. My husband went for a check-up and well person visit. I have a history of neck and lower back issues. Each of us felt that the treatment and advice and follow-up recommendations were right on the mark for what we need/want. We especially liked Dr. Piorkowki's straightforward,no nonsense explanations and adjustments. Having been to chiropractors before, I can attest that he is exceptional at what he does. We look forward to a long-term relationship with this doctor, and we recommend him without reservation. His front office person was also very friendly and professional, by the way... read more

Dr. P is the best. Very available, friendly, flexible, and does everything you could ever need all in one appointment - no charging for extra services. Plus he's making my back feel better than it ever has. And I've had back problems for YEARS!! Highly recommend!!! read more

THE BEST!! I Hurt my back 4 months ago and I tried acupuncture, The "R.I.C.E" method, muscle relaxers and pretty much anything that comes to mind -other than surgery for back pain relief, and nothing seemed to work so I decided to try a chiropractor despite almost everyone I know telling me not to, and the results are in ladies and gentlemen it works! Dr. P knows his stuff and got my back feeling better after a few sessions, now he's working on getting my back to 100%. He really takes interest and concern in his patients health problems.He's realistic and tells you you exactly what the problem is and how long it is going to take to heal, I'd recommend Dr Piorkowski to anyone with and sort of body pain and especially back pain. read more

Dr. Rich is awesome - I started going to him for a pinched nerve in my neck - I have continued for regular adjustments. Getting older isnt' for the faint of heart - and he makes it a little easier as he addresses all the little aches and pains as regularly as I want. read more

For the past year or so, I have been having horrible back pain that comes & goes. At the beginning of this week, my back pain was so bad that each step I took made me want to cry. I avoided going to the doctor for two reasons. #1. I have horrible, uncontrollable anxiety when it comes to any medical treatment (doctor, dentist...whatever). #2. I was sure that any Urgent Care doctor would just give me some kind of pain meds and not actually TREAT the issue. THIS was a major factor because I dont think masking pain with narcotics solves anything & frankly, I just wont take unnecessary pain meds that will only make me nauseous. It never even occured to me to try a Chiropractor until a coworker recommended Dr. Piorkowski. I made the appt, just hoping it might help some. I was in pain and was desperate. Dr Piorkowski greeted me himself and had a very casual air about him that immediately put me at ease. We spent some time talking before he "adjusted" me. He let me know that since my problem was chronic, it may take awhile to get better, but I'll be damned if I didnt feel like a new person after my first visit! I could walk without pain for the first time in days! The relief I felt is beyond words. I cant express how happy I am that I decided to try Dr Piorkowski. The Doc & Mojo really have a good thing going & I look forward to my future visits with them. read more

Doc P is a skilled and sensitive holistic doctor. Always willing to fit you in even with short notice to relieve pain.
