Who is the chiropractor at Spinal Health Group?
Spinal Health Group was founded by Dr. Peter, but today it’s led by Dr. Josh, who continues the same commitment to exceptional chiropractic and integrative care. Patients throughout Springfield, VA, and the Northern Virginia (NOVA) area trust Dr. Josh for personalized, hands-on treatment designed to help them move better, feel better, and live pain-free.
​
What conditions can a chiropractor at Spinal Health Group help with?
Our chiropractors treat a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, migraines, shoulder pain, hip pain, and joint stiffness.
We also help patients recover from car accident injuries, sports injuries, and work-related pain. Every treatment plan is tailored to your needs to improve mobility, reduce pain, and promote long-term wellness.
​
What types of chiropractic techniques do you use?
We offer both manual chiropractic adjustments and low-force instrument-assisted techniques, depending on the patient’s comfort level and condition. Our team combines modern methods with traditional hands-on care to restore alignment, reduce nerve irritation, and support natural healing.
​
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Spinal Health Group accepts most major insurance plans and will verify your benefits before care begins. We also offer affordable self-pay options for patients without insurance coverage. Please contact our front desk for specific insurance questions or to confirm your benefits.
​
What other therapies or treatments do you offer besides chiropractic care?
In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we offer several complementary therapies to accelerate healing and enhance results. These include acupuncture, dry needling, cupping therapy, decompression therapy, soft tissue therapy, and corrective exercises. Many patients combine these treatments with chiropractic care for faster, longer-lasting relief.
​
What is acupuncture, and how can it help me?
Acupuncture is a time-tested therapy that uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body. It helps restore balance, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and relieve pain. At Spinal Health Group, our licensed acupuncturists use this technique to help patients with chronic pain, migraines, muscle tension, stress, and even sleep issues.
​
How is dry needling different from acupuncture?
Although dry needling and acupuncture both use thin needles, they target the body differently. Dry needling focuses on releasing tight muscle knots and trigger points to relieve pain and restore motion, while acupuncture targets energy pathways (meridians) to promote whole-body balance. Both are available at Spinal Health Group and can be customized to your needs.
​
What is cupping therapy, and what are its benefits?
Cupping therapy involves using gentle suction cups to improve blood flow, reduce muscle tightness, and promote healing. Many patients describe it as a “reverse massage.” It’s particularly effective for stiffness, soreness, inflammation, and muscle recovery—making it a popular choice for athletes and active individuals in the Springfield and NOVA communities.
​
What is decompression therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. It’s often used for herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic low back pain. Our advanced decompression table helps improve spinal alignment and create space for natural healing.
​
How long will it take to feel better?
The timeline depends on your condition and goals. Some patients feel relief after just a few visits, while others with chronic or complex issues may need more time. Dr. Josh and his team will evaluate your progress throughout care and adjust your treatment plan as needed to help you get lasting results.
​
Do you help patients from outside Springfield, VA?
Yes. We regularly see patients from Alexandria, Annandale, Burke, Lorton, Fairfax, and throughout Northern Virginia (NOVA). Our clinic is conveniently located in Springfield with easy access from major highways, making it simple for people across the region to get the care they need.
​
Can chiropractic care help after a car accident?
Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the most effective ways to address whiplash, back pain, neck pain, and soft tissue injuries following a car accident. We’ll perform a detailed exam to identify hidden injuries and develop a personalized recovery plan to reduce pain, improve movement, and restore function.
​
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes. Chiropractic care is considered safe and effective when performed by a licensed professional. Dr. Josh and his team use precise, gentle techniques tailored to each patient’s comfort and condition. Our goal is to help you heal naturally without unnecessary medication or surgery.
