Everyone in this office is kind and professional. I felt they cared about my discomfort and genuinely wanted to help resolve my pain. I looked forward to my interactions with everyone in the office. Even PT was bearable :). I wish it was easier to just go in for individual visits and not purchase an entire package. That part was a little overwhelming for my budget, but I must say that at the end of my treatment I felt much better! read more

I've been going to Dr. Amir for the past 8 months, WOW what progress we have made. Through adjustments, cupping, and acupuncture my lower back is significantly improved. Dr. Amir is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I recommend him and his Chiropractor office to anyone. He is freely a rare find, a gem. I will keep coming back. read more

Dr. Amir and his staff are fantastic! 5-stars in every aspect: quality of care, ease of scheduling, and communication. I go to Dr. Amir for regular chiropractic adjustments and have also seen him for severe back pain emergencies. Dr. Amir is very skilled. His chiropractic adjustments and the additional therapy I've received from him and his staff have made a huge difference for me in terms of my back pain and misalignment problems. There have been times when I was in extreme pain and could barely stand/walk, and just one visit with him got me moving pain-free again. And he kindly made time to see me on short notice for those emergencies. The high quality care I've received here has enabled me to feel comfortable on a daily basis and get back to playing sports. THANK YOU Dr. Amir, Alba, Taylor, and Liz! read more

I've been under chiropractic care since the 1970s and have moved around in the meantime, so I've been to several different chiropractors. I go routinely, to maintain good health. Dr. Geer is great at activator (a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint) adjustments. He has a fun and light-hearted personality and is always joking. His staff is professional and efficient. My only comment would be about the space. The office looks sad and the treatment rooms are cluttered. It's not dirty, it just looks like it hasn't been organized or remodeled in a very long time. read more

Overall, I had a disappointing experience with Ascent Integrated Medicine. I visited the clinic in January 2024 to get a diagnosis and treatment for lower lumbar spine pain. After taking a x-ray and doing some diagnostics, the chiropractor and nurse practitioner noted I had disk degeneration and suggested 30 sessions consisting of a decompression machine, electrical stimulation, and chiropractic adjustments with 3 trigger point injections, most of which had to be paid upfront and was only partially covered by my insurance. The cost of these was quite exorbitant so I asked if I go do a much smaller package to start off with but the clinic insisted that they could go no lower than 18 sessions (cost of $2600). Given the 5 star reviews and the clinic's insistence that I would "feel better" after the treatment, I trusted their judgement and paid for the 18 sessions. Unfortunately, I noted only very marginal improvement after my treatment. I kept the chiropractor apprised throughout my sessions about how I wasn't really noticing too much improvement. He made some suggestions (e.g., using padded insoles when exercising, getting a back pillow) but unfortunately nothing was able to completely clear the pain away after the 18 sessions was completed. The clinic then suggested trying PRP, which was a relatively new treatment offering for them. Both the chiropractor and NP noted that they had success with PRP based on other clients' feedback. After a few months deliberation, I ended up electing for the treatment (another $1200 for 3 sessions). I did notice more pain relief after these sessions but unfortunately still did not get complete recovery. Furthermore, I noted that my injury could still easily be reaggravated even after certain basic issues (like a minor slip on a wet floor) which meant I still wasn't fully recovered. Frustrated, I eventually set up a meeting with an orthopedist who specializes in spinal injuries. He noted their treatment plan may have not been the most effective (particularly the PRP) based on my MRI and where I was experiencing the pain. He suggested a combination of PT and medication would be best. Some other issues I noted during my time at Ascent: -This was already alluded to earlier, but very frustrated at the inflexibility of the clinic not offering a smaller upfront package (5 or 10 sessions instead of the 18 I was forced to take). This would have saved me a lot of money. -Waiting room was a bit disorganized and I experienced lengthy delays. There were multiple instances where I had to wait longer than expected to complete my treatment sessions (i.e., waiting 20 minutes to use the decompression machine after finishing E-Stem because they had overbooked my appointment slot) which in turn affected my work schedule -During the few months gap between my last treatment and when I started PRP, no one from the clinic followed up with me to check in on how I was doing. This is a basic task I would have expected from any medical center, especially considering the investment I had made. -Physical therapy was never offered as an option at the onset of my treatment (when in hindsight this would have been the most effective treatment). They only offered this option to me midway through my 18 sessions (after they had set up their physical therapist) but I was never provided clear cut instructions on how the PT would interplay with the other treatment I had paid for. I did try 2 PT sessions towards the end of my treatment but was already feeling frustrated that the other treatment hadn't been working / had to be cost conscious (and was never offered the option of doing the PT in lieu of the some of the other treatment which would have saved me money). Reason for two stars rather than one star is due to pleasant bedside manner from the staff. Unfortunately, the rest of my experience was poor and I'm quite surprised about all the other 5 star reviews. Unless you have a very minor issue and/or your health insurance can cover all of the treatment costs, I would suggest looking elsewhere. read more

No no nonsense and effective adjustments. We've been going to Dr Geer in this office for a couple years. He has always been pleasant, professional, and effective. The additional steps they've taken during the pandemic allows us to feel safe while still receiving treatments. My only thought might have been that the office could benefit from some updating. Everything is in good working order but seems a bit threadbare. Then I remember my previous chiropractor who had a spotless office with all the latest equipment including equipment with laser beams. However, the results I see from Dr Geer and his largely old school approach is orders of magnitude better. read more

First, let me say the people that work there are lovely. They seem to care about their patients and listened to the problems. However, I was led to believe that they could fix the pain I was in. I've had chronic hip/back pain for 2 years. I've been told it was arthritis, the piriformis muscle, IT band, or sciatica by different practitioners. I'd tried acupuncture, physical therapy, yoga and Pilates. The only thing left to do was to see a chiropractor. They recommended an 8 week course, 3 times a week. The course of action was physical therapy, shock wave therapy, the decompression machine and manipulation by the doctor. I was charged $3800 which was way out of my budget but if they could fix the problem, it would be worth it. Each day I came in they asked me to rate the pain. It never changed. Nothing they did helped ease my pain. At they end, they told me my balance had improved and some of the exercises improved my range of motion but that is not why I had come in. The pain never changed. I am so frustrated and disappointed. I would not recommend them. read more

As a medical professional I am critical in selection of my health care providers. I value reviews and for that reason need to share my experience with Dr. Ahmadiyar and his practice. From day one I understood the game plan and approach we were collaboratively taking for my physical improvement. I agreed to the therapy plan and have almost completed half of my sessions. I am extremely happy that my impovements are evident. I sleep better and am able to focus on important things instead of the discomfort. I look forward to continued healing and understand that prevention of regression means commitment to do the work. Thank you Dr. Ahmadiyar you are appreciated! read more

Spent all day walking around all the monuments and ended up with a sore foot and ankle. Went in and saw Dr. Amir and after a couple adjustments it felt better than ever! Amazing. Thank you! read more

Amir at Greater Falls Chirch Chiro practice does a wonderful job with things that I once saw expensive and time consuming physical therapist for. Physical Therapy has its place, but not for the thing that was bothering me immensely. After wearing a brace and doing physical therapy for months I happen to mention this to Amir after a typical adjustment. He gave my elbow a crack, and I experienced immediate relief. I had to see him three or four more times before it stabilized, but so much more effective and efficient and safe in contrast to the cortisone injections that were next on my medical list of strategies for pain management. read more

Dr. Amir is great. I have constant neck and back pain and after I see him, I finally feel some relief ! He takes his time and asks questions to give you the best care. Depending on what hurts, He'll give a little massage with the icy hot, perform the adjustment, use the gun, and/or do some stretches. He popped my neck so well this week that I walked around in amazement! They also do massages but I have not tried it yet, will report back when i do. read more

I initially saw Doctor Amir for back pain after shoveling snow. He helped to get me realigned and feeling better. I continued to go back for regular maintenance visits when I later needed more care for my neck. Things seemed to change once insurance coverage options changed and they took on more patients. I felt rushed in and out of my visits and the doctor would come in and put heat on me leave the room and come back for an "adjustment" which consisted of about 5 minutes of a few cracks and clicks. Unfortunately the care became less individualized and more of an assembly line. read more

The staff is very friendly and they're so flexible which is a huge perk. Dr. Amir Ahmadiyar is such a great chiropractor. He really takes his time and was personable during my first session. He explained everything thoroughly and made my experience a positive one. read more

Another shout out to Dr. Amir and his staff for the continued, excellent service! The treatments from Dr. Amir have been outstanding and it shows. This year he fitted me with a knee brace and I haven't had any knee or back pain since. My hat is off to Dr. Amir and his staff of Nurses who make going to their office a pleasure. read more

Very good chiropractic services, very flexible for demanding schedules. Therapeutic massage is a great amenity to supplement chiro services.

I have been going off and on to Dr. Amir for years. He always takes the time to explain what he is doing and why. I have never felt pressured to come back when not needed and he lets his work stand for itself. A kind soul that remembers details of our previous conversations I can tell that he cares about me as a patient. I will continue to come here for all of my pain related issues. read more

Dr Amir has been treating my chronic lower back, shoulder and knee pain for the past 6 years as I've needed it and it's been wonderful. As a result, I've continued to play basketball, run, bike, and hike. My body has gone through a lot of wear tear as I've always been physically active, but through periodic treatments and adjustments from Dr. Amir, my body is able to cope and keep up with the demand of my lifestyle. He offers good advice and gives me exercises to maintain my mobility and flexibility. Brenda and Han who provide massage services really get into working knots that are caused by my day job sitting at a computer. The combination of massage therapy and chiropractic adjustments has been a go to for me for the past 6 years and for many years to come. read more

For more than 25 years, I've experience muscular skeletal pain, Sjögren's syndrome, and osteoarthritis. My appointment with Dr. Amir was spectacular, during the chiropractic exam the spine, neck and upper back were addressed and properly aligned. Dr. Amir thoroughly explained his procedures, adjustments, cupping and massage therapies; and the length of time to become pain-free after suffering for so long. I know that this is not a cure but it definitely beneficial. After years with rheumatologist, physical therapy, and neurologist, Dr. Amir makes the arthritis and the pain tolerable. I look forward to working with Dr. Amir and his tremendous staff! read more

I first met Dr. Amir when he treated my wife for neck pain last summer. It took only two appointments for him to completely resolve her complaint. I recently had a leg injury that resulted in enough swelling and serious pain to kept me from walking without great difficulty. In just one week I have had major improvement and expect to be back to normal in just a week or two. One of the things that makes Dr. Amir special is his dual focus on western and eastern medicine. In addition the usual Chiropractic procedures he treated me with acupuncture. I'm sure the combination has contributed to my quick recovery. The office staff and systems could not have been better and, on top of that, Dr. Amir is a pretty cool guy. read more

Dr. Amir is an incredible chiropractor. He and his team are incredibly polite, helpful and great at their jobs. The whole team has been incredible helpful. I see them for massages (Debra is amazing at getting all of the knots in your back out!) and Dr. Amir to help with my back adjustments. I can't recommend their services enough. My mobility has increased and tension has decreased substantially. I'd give them more stars if I could! read more

We have been patients of Dr. Amir for a long time, have always been happy. Earlier this year my wife developed chronic pain. We tried everything. Dr. Amir developed a treatment that was very helpful and allowed my wife to live a normal life again. We could not be happier. In addition the massage therapists and the office staff are professional, friendly and very helpful. read more

Dr. Amir does great work . Hurt my back pretty bad while training at the gym. Dr. Amir put me on a 5 session program and by the 3rd session I was a new man. I now visit weekly for extended treatments while I continue to train and heal (I'm pretty much healed up now). I highly recommend this office. read more

I'd never been to a chiropractor before, but I was suffering from intense migraines for nearly two weeks that started with pain in my neck and shoulders. I knew prescription medication would only treat the symptoms, not the underlying problem. So, I took a chance on GFCC, and I'm so glad I did! It was so easy to make an appointment with the office, and thankfully I was able to see Dr. Amir right away. After 5 sessions, my neck and shoulder pain is gone - and so are my migraines! Dr. Amir helped me understand what's causing the pain and gave me practical tips on how to treat it and prevent it in the future. Plus, he's just a nice person who actually listens to you. And his staff is friendly and helpful. I'm so grateful I found Dr. Amir! read more

Everytime I have had back pain or need of an adjustment, Amir takes care of it and the difference that is felt from before walking into the office, to leaving is a huge improvement! Everyone is super nice at the office and most of all the office/rooms are extremely clean. A+ read more

I was seeing Dr. Geer and the man got fresh with me the last appointment. I had come in for my second body scan after several treatments and the man specifically said to me: "You can leave your bra on." I knew this was untrue because after my first appointment where he did the scan, the receptionist was ambivalent about whether not I should leave my bra on or not. He was joking around that first appointment about he and his wife have a running joke about how he "unhooks more or his patient's bras than he does his wife's." So the second body scan I knew I should take it off. I left it on as directed and he came in, albeit after knocking and unhooks my bra as if it were no big deal, so he could do the scan. Why wouldn't he tell me to unhook it myself and leave the room as a professional doctor should do?! I don't think so. Ladies, watch out for this man. Don't go to him. read more

Dr. Amir's expertise in chiropractic care is only matched by his compassion for patients who are in pain. I have a Grade I/II spondylolisthesis in my lower back and have suffered with back pain - off and on - for 20 years. I am very careful with my back, and about any manipulations and was, at first, extremely cautious. This is someone who knows exactly what he is doing and the results speak for themselves: I'm entirely pain-free. My issue is structural and can't be "cured" but what Dr. Amir did is resolve the pain around it, as well as the secondary issues (knee, hips) I had developed as a direct result. Cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

I was in so much lower back pain until I began treatments with Dr. Amir! I should have made an appointment long ago! I can't even tell you how wonderful it is to be without pain!! The staff is very kind, friendly, attentive, and helpful! The waiting area is never crowded because they do a great job of seeing people on time for appointments. There is plenty of hand sanitizer and staff and clients are masked (so important these days!). Dr. Amir listened attentively to my concerns, did some diagnostic testing, and explained a program of treatment for me. In addition to seeing him for treatments, he has given me some stretches to do which have complimented the in office treatments. All around I know I am in good hands!! I enthusiastically recommend Greater Falls Church Chiropractic to anyone! read more

I truly don't think, there is any word to describe my great appreciation and experiences with Dr Amir Ahmadiyar. I'm astounded, flabbergasted, shocked and amazed (you get the idea) and most importantly grateful for the help Dr. Ahmadiyar provided with just one visit. Due to playing tennis, one day I felt a severe pain in my right knee. The pain increased the next day to such extent that I had to walk limping. Due to a friend's recommendation, I visited Dr. Amir Ahmadiyar at Greater Falls Chiropractic Center, after few questions Dr Ahmadiyar asked me to stretch on the bench by bending the hurt knee and stretching the other leg for 15 minutes. After this exercise he asked me to stand up and walk. It felt like a miracle, I was able to walk with no pain at all. I told this to all my running and tennis playing friends, and were asked to send them the picture of this stretch and I gladly sent it to all of them. I can't begin to share how thankful I am this place exists. I recommend Greater Falls Church Chiropractic And Acupuncture Center to everyone and especially the ones who are leery of chiropractors, since I'm living proof of positive results. read more

I wish there were more ratings than five stars. What rating could I give for perfection? I am Suffering from chronic neck pain, and my Dr. administered a shot of Cotozon and prescribed a bunch of steroids pills that did not work. The doctor suggested neck surgery, However, I decided on a nonsurgical approach. I was frustrated that after trying a few sessions of various Chiropractic offices, the pain was not relived. I did more research, and decided to visit the " Greater Falls Church Chiropractic & Acupuncture Wellness Center". I decided to make an appointment to see Dr. Amir. This action was against the recommendation of the orthopedic surgeon I was seeing at that time. However, seeing Dr. Amir consistently and undergoing massages, I feel improvement. I am amazed that people say, "Oh, we don't believe in chiropractors." what is there not to believe? Don't you believe in a correctly aligned spine, a healthy, drug-free, pain-free body, a better quality of life? I say, give it a try, and there's no one better than Dr. Amir to help you! What have you got to lose, except your pain! Thank you, Dr. Amir and staff, for all you do. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Amir for several years for back pain. I have a slight case of scoliosis so often I feel fine but when it acts up it is awful. I have walked into the office several times with the worst pain and no appointment and he always makes time to see me. He has a genuine concern and the patient care is amazing! I have had several x rays done at the office and he always makes sure I understand them and has a plan going forward for my care. I can't say enough good things about this office and Dr. Amir himself. read more

I had been seeing Dr. Amir for my lower back pains. I always leave his office feeling much better and happier. Dr. Amir is friendly and takes his time to answer questions.

Thanks to Dr. Amir! read more

Dr. Amir and Brenda (one of the massage therapists) are true heroes when it comes to helping pregnant ladies stay limber and pain free. I've been going to their office since my second trimester and am now in the final stretch of my pregnancy--I am truly grateful to have found them. They keep me feeling great as my baby belly grows and grows... I'm certain my labor will benefit from my body being properly cared for and aligned prior to the big day! I plan to continue seeing both of them even after I've had the baby. They are that good. Give their office a call, especially if you're pregnant, and they'll totally check what your insurance covers so you can begin to treat your aches and pains! read more

Dr. Amir Ahmadiyar has helped me so much with back and neck pain and also chronic, unexplainable pain in my legs. I spent 14 years with constant sharp pain in both legs. When seeing Dr. Amir for chiropractic care, he suggested I try acupuncture. I was really apprehensive, given how sensitive to pain and touch my legs were, the last thing I wanted to do was stick needles in there. Dr. Amir was reassuring, careful, and very understanding throughout the whole process and really calmed my anxiety - I felt comfortable and supported and trusted his expertise. I have since been coming to him every two to three weeks over the past 8 months for acupuncture and I am 95% pain free in my legs. I am able to go weeks without any pain and when the pain comes back, it is much less intense. I never thought I would be able to have "normal" legs again and I have been blown away by how helpful acupuncture has been in healing this unexplainable pain. I am grateful for Dr. Amir's insight into this form of medical care and I highly recommend acupuncture for anyone who experiences mystery pain! read more

I began seeing Dr. Amir after I injured my rotator cuff. I completed my physical therapy but still had residual pain. Dr. Amir treated me with a combination of acupuncture and cupping. He alleviated my pain after a few treatments! I now see him for general wellness with adjustments and any aches and pains that I develop while training. He's so friendly and willing to listen to his patients! read more

Dr. Amir Ahmadiyar is AMAZING! After giving birth, my right hip felt off, and I couldn't turn out my leg. I went to a general practitioner, and she said it was probably a strain - it didn't feel like a strain - and would just get better over time or I should see a physical therapist. It didn't get better. I went to Dr. Ahmadiyar after he was recommended to me, and in one session, he essentially fixed my hip. I was also in a car accident, and was in a LOT of pain, and one first visit made a HUGE difference and subsequent visits have continued to make an amazing improvement. I can't recommend Dr. Ahmadiyar enough. read more

Dr. Amir has been my chiropractor for more than seven years. I can attest to his knowledge and expertise as I am 77 years old and through regular visits he manages my age-related aches and pains with great success. His office and staff are very well organized and efficient. I very much recommend Dr. Amir to anyone who wishes to improve their health and well being! read more

I recently threw my back out playing with my son. I was in so much pain I wanted to be seen ASAP. Dr. Ahmadiyar saw me right away and instantly alleviated the pain I was feeling. In our first session he took x-rays and took his time explaining everything he saw and my options. I have been to three sessions so far and my pain has diminished with each visit. This man truly cares about his work and the patients he treats. I look forward to continuing my treatments and correcting my back issues with Dr. Ahmadiyar. I highly recommend him! read more

I am a professor at Georgetown University Medical Center in the departments of neurology and psychiatry. I highly recommended Dr. Ahmadiyar. He has been helping me for many years with back, neck, and wrist issues. Appointments are always available especially when I am in desperate need of his services. His level of professionalism is unparalleled. His clinical and communication skills are outstanding. The office staff are always incredibly polite and helpful. I can't recommend Dr. Ahmadiyar and Greater Falls Church Chiropractic highly enough. read more

Dr. Amir is absolutely amazing. Like everyone has mentioned, there are NO words to describe how wonderful this gentleman is. I have had back pain for quite a while and have been to other doctors, taken medicines and worked with physical therapists. My boss referred me to Dr. Amir. I called the office for a new appointment and was able to be seen the next day. I have been three times in the last week and the pain has already substantially alleviated. The massage (my therapists is name: Ha) mixed with the chiropractic treatments has been a life saver. The entire staff is friendly and kind and Dr. Amir's bedside manner is one of a kind. I recommend this practice to all! read more

I went to Dr Amir for the first time in 2009 for tendinitis in my arm. I had severe tendinitis and had tried everything else with regular doctors, the next step was surgery. I was in a lot of pain. My right arm did not have strength to even brush my teeth. Dr Amir worked at it and made my arm 100% better. I have been going to him regularly since then for different things and he has always been able to take care of the problems.. He is the most polite, courteous, gentle and caring doctor I have been to. I would recommend him very highly. read more
