Prioritizing patient care over profit, they don't throw the kitchen sink at you to see what works. They tailor a treatment plan and curate herbs and supplements through consistent listening and feedback. I got to see Dr. Mark Bodzislaw for a few months and he really taught me a lot about how acupuncture should support your healing journey. I've since been under the expert care of Dr. Ueno who is a consummate professional who is clearly passionate about helping his patients. I seriously believe he and Sachiko are the best gift to DC from Japan (following only the Cherry blossoms!). Unparalleled atmosphere set by Sachiko makes every visit so amazing! I'm so grateful to be a patient here and highly recommend his practice!

I was new to acupuncture but had been wanting to try it for a while. I am so glad I did! Taejean…read moreConverti listened carefully to my concerns - including lots of work stress, some back pain, and wanting better sleep. I also love that she has ideas for herbs to try if you're curious, as well as tips and tricks like what to eat for better sleep and pressure points you can try on yourself at home. She has a ton of knowledge and really cares about what she does and how her patients are improving. She has also followed up between treatments to see how I am doing, something few in western medicine are ever able to do. Love my friends and family who are western doctors, but it's usually not a thing that comes with the territory. By the way, I've heard different reports about whether acupuncture hurts, so I was wondering whether the experience would be comfortable (though if it worked, I would do it regardless). Some people I know say acupuncture can indeed hurt, but with Taejean it's very gentle and there's never pain - she really takes pride in making sure you are completely comfortable, explains everything, and listens to any feedback you have. The needles are much thinner than anything you'd see in other contexts and you don't really feel them at all. Once they're placed, you relax for about 20 minutes...and I mean relax. It's a very calm and peaceful experience and while falling asleep is a problem for me in life in general, I've actually drifted off a couple of times, which I'm told is pretty common during acupuncture sessions. I never thought I'd look forward to this, but I do. I've been to about ten sessions and although my insurance doesn't cover it and I am paying out of pocket, I will continue to go. I'm seeing subtle but real changes in my sleep, but the big difference is in my mood - I just handle everything a lot better and the badness wears off quicker. Oh, and everyone else I've interacted with has been great, too. Super kind and understanding the one time I didn't make it to an appointment on time (unlike major places in the DC area) and the space is lovely and relaxing. If you've been considering acupuncture, go see Taejean. This isn't a placebo thing - it's a "there's good science behind this and it works" thing.

I was an athlete for many years and had old injuries that wouldn't quite resolve and always had nagging pain that wouldn't com heal until I started working with Core wellness.

We were talking about what it's like to go to one of those in-network PT farms where a 22 year old is loosely overseeing your exercises while also attending to several other patients in a large open area that all feels slightly chaotic and, to be honest, just a little bit sus lol. Core Wellness is not that place. If you can afford it, just go here. They have highly experienced staff who give you dedicated, one on one attention for the full hour and they take a holistic approach to solving your issue -- really listening; asking good follow up questions each session and pivoting as needed; explaining what's going on at all times and how different issues might be connected; working on your muscles with different techniques instead of just giving you basic exercises to do by yourself that you could have found online; etc. I saw Kelly and she is one of those healthcare professionals you wish all providers were like. My husband saw her as well last year and felt the same. Anyway, 5 stars, no notes.

More often that not, he's able to diagnose the problem of the day before I've even had time to describe it. He's also terrific at explaining what's going on and why and in providing workable advice and suggestions. His treatment has successfully addressed the pain I was experiencing before I came to see him. More recently, I've also been working with a personal trainer at ArCTIC, and it's been a huge help in getting moving after pandemic lockdown (and years of that sedentary job). Ryan, my trainer, is knowledgeable, supportive, and good company while working out. With me, he focuses on functional movement and proper form, and he's created a training plan that has me feeling better while steering clear of injury. It's been a great experience!

I don't typically review every business I visit--if it's good, it's usually as advertised. But when…read moresomeone truly exceeds expectations or falls far short, that's when I speak up. Paul is more than a chiropractor--he's a healer, a magician. He takes the time to listen to you, your body, and your needs. He thoughtfully adjusts what's necessary and works through the muscle tension surrounding problem areas, providing real relief. After just one treatment, I'm extremely pleased with the results. I don't require regular maintenance, but I do experience occasional flare-ups. Having visited more "convenient" chiropractors in the past, I can confidently say that whether you need ongoing care or help in a pinch, you're in excellent hands. He understands what he's doing, and I feel significantly better. Thank you, Paul!

Sorry in advance... this will be a long one. I really can't say enough great things about Dr. Paul…read more He is the best and his entire goal is to make sure you only need to see him once or twice a year, if that. I have been going to a chiropractor to relieve chronic neck and back pain for years - since I was in my 20s and it always consisted of 3 appointments a week for 5/10 min with those electromagnetic pads... you know the routine. With Dr. Paul, he spends 30 min or an hour on you depending on how much time he needs, and he works on you from head to toe. I used to have chronic neck and shoulder pain but I have not experienced that type of pain since seeing him. If I do have pain, I may see him once a year. he also pads his appts with 15 minutes of time in between just for free touch ups! I have sent every client, friend and family member to him. He is a miracle worker and I would gladly pay out of pocket for that kind of care, even with insurance. It's worth EVERY CENT- although you can absolutely submit to your insurance for reimbursement! My husband was on of the biggest skeptics when I first told him about Dr Paul. It took at least one or two years before he actually went bc I paid for the appt in advance. But after just one visit, he became Dr. Paul's biggest fan. I also brought a good friend who was dealing with chronic hip pain for at least a year or two after a fall. She was scared to go but after nagging her for a couple years, she finally went and Dr. Paul fixed her in one visit. Granted she is still scared to go to any chiropractor but I am sure if she felt bad, he would be the first person she thinks of. I feel we are so lucky to be in Alexandria and have access to him, but I know people travel in from all over to see him bc he really is the best. I can go on and on but I think you get the hint. I couldn't believe he even had any (less than) 5 star reviews, but after reading them, it made me so sad for those 1 or 2 people. The reviews are clearly not even close to being accurate.

I had sciatic nerve problem for 6 weeks now and have been using physical therapy for 5 weeks with very little, if any, benefit.

Actually, it now kind of feels odd to be able to walk without limping or wincing in anticipation of pain along my calf, hamstring and thigh. Great feeling.
