Chiropractic healing is all about wellness and communicative care and everyone here at the clinic, from the receptionist, to the LMT, to the Chiropractor, will make you feel welcome and part of the healing process.Our staff is highly trained and experienced and we use hands on chiropractic techniques including Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) and myofascial techniques (soft tissue prep-work that retrains the muscles). Our Chiropractor, Dr. Philip Connolly, has been practicing since he graduated from the New York Chiropractic College in 1991. He followed his degree with further study to attain a post-graduate degree at the American Chiropractic Academy of Neurology (D.A.C.A.N) in 1993 and he is a member of both the American Chiropractic Association and the Virginia Chiropractic Association. He is devoted to his patients and is constantly increasing his knowledge through research and continued education. Dr. Connolly is very interested in the dynamic and delicate interrelationship between the nervous system and the spinal structure. Understanding all the facets of back pain are his passion.

Massage Therapy at Alexandria Chiropractic

Massage Therapy is one of the most enjoyable and beneficial treatments for back pain. Massage therapy increases blood circulation, relaxes muscles and aids in the recovery of damaged muscles and tissues. Lisa Price (LMT), our primary massage therapist, graduated from the National Massage Therapy Institute (NMTI) in 2007. She specializes in providing pain relief for spinal and other types of injuries. Her focus is in rehabilitation therapy and she is also trained in reflexology, prenatal and Swedish massage. We have two additional therapists on staff as well, Tasha Reisberg (CMT), and Kim Gowland (L.P.N., CMT).

One of the things that makes our clinic so unique is that in addition to a L.P.N. we also have a Certified Holistic Health Counselor, Amy Andrejewski, working at the clinic. Amy studied all different aspects of nutrition and diet at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City and she is certified by the American Association of Drugless Practioners. She specializes in providing individual dietary counseling for our patients. Every patient we see has unique needs and we believe that a unique dietary program and life stye counseling is essential for total body wellness and pain management. Our chiropractor works closely with Amy and our massage therapists to design individualized wellness programs for each patient. Nutritional counseling will enable your body to heal more quickly, making our adjustments and massage treatments more beneficial and effective.
