What we do
Care that fixes the cause, not just the ache.

Meet your chiropractor
A whole-person approach, two decades in the making.
Dr. Shaan has served the Alexandria, Kingstowne, and Springfield area in private practice for more than twenty years. He looks for the underlying cause of your pain — because many symptoms that seem unrelated trace back to the same imbalance — and builds a plan around your life, not a template.

Your care plan
Three phases. One goal: you, without the pain.
Visits taper as you heal. We re-check your progress along the way and you're never locked in.
- 01
Calm things down
Relief care
Most people come in hurting. First we reduce pain and inflammation — sometimes with a few visits a week at the start — so you can sleep, work, and move again.
- 02
Fix what caused it
Corrective care
Feeling better isn't the same as being better. Visits space out while we restore motion and strength, add home exercises, and work on the cause so it doesn't keep coming back.
- 03
Stay ahead of it
Wellness care
Once you've healed, occasional check-ins help keep joints moving and small problems small — so you can keep doing more of what you love.
Insurance & payment
Care you can actually afford.
Coverage for chiropractic varies a lot from plan to plan. So before your first adjustment, our team verifies your benefits and explains them in plain English — free.
Most insurance + Medicare
We participate in most health plans, including Medicare, and check your benefits before care starts.
Auto accident & PI
Hurt in a collision? We accept auto accident and personal injury cases and document everything carefully.
Workers' comp
Injured on the job? We accept workers' compensation cases for back, neck, and related injuries.
No insurance? Family plans
Flexible payment programs for little or no coverage, plus family plans that make wellness affordable.

Good questions
Before you book.
Don't see your question? Call the office — a real person answers.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in Virginia?
No. You can book directly with our office. If your insurance plan requires a referral for coverage, we'll let you know when we verify your benefits.
Do you take insurance and Medicare?
Yes — we participate in most insurance plans, including Medicare, and we accept auto accident, personal injury, and workers' compensation cases. Our staff will verify your benefits and explain them before care starts, at no charge.
What if I don't have insurance?
We'll work with you on a flexible payment program that fits your budget, and we offer family plans. Many patients find chiropractic care surprisingly affordable compared with other pain treatments.
Does an adjustment hurt?
Most patients find adjustments comfortable and relieving. Some feel mild soreness for a day, similar to after a workout. If you prefer, we use gentle, low-force techniques.
How long is the first visit?
Plan on about an hour for your first visit — consultation, exam, any needed X-rays, and your report of findings. Follow-up visits are much shorter.
Are you open on weekends?
Yes. We're open Saturdays from 8 am to 2 pm, plus late hours until 7 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays.
