About the practice
Meet Dr. Shaan Suleman.
For more than two decades, Dr. Shaan has helped families in Alexandria, Kingstowne, and Springfield get out of pain and back to the things they love.
Dr. Shaan Suleman has served the Alexandria, Kingstowne, and Springfield area in private practice for more than twenty years. He's a Magna Cum Laude graduate of the National University of Health Sciences (formerly the National College of Chiropractic) in Chicago, and earned his Honors Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto.
Before focusing on private practice, he worked as an ergonomic consultant to industry, with well-known organizations such as Home Depot and Alberto-Culver — which is why you'll hear him talk about your desk, your car seat, and your pillow as much as your spine. He's currently working toward a degree in acupuncture.
Whether you're dealing with back pain or neck pain, recovering from an injury, or just want to feel better when you wake up in the morning, Dr. Shaan takes a whole-person approach: find the underlying cause, explain it plainly, and build a plan that fits your life.

How we practice
Three things we won't compromise on.
Find the cause
Many symptoms that seem unrelated trace back to the same imbalance. We look for the root of the problem instead of chasing the pain around.
Treat the whole person
Your job, your sleep, your stress, your goals — they all shape how you heal. Your plan is built around your life, not a template.
Least invasive first
Gentle, effective, non-surgical care comes first. And if you need a different provider, we'll tell you — and help you get there.
