In practice since 2004, Dr. Shara Posner founded Back to Health Center to support the health of families and individuals in the Alexandria area. She is joined in practice by our caring and supportive team that will put you at ease from the moment you walk into our warm environment. Back to Health Center is far from the clinical, cold atmosphere you may have experienced at other offices.
A College Park Scholar at the University of Maryland, Dr. Shara was studying for her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology when she first encountered chiropractic. As an intern at a chiropractor's office, she saw people walking into the practice bent over in pain but leave happy and feeling well. Since then, Dr. Shara has been hooked on the idea of living a more health-minded lifestyle. I don't have a deficiency of pain medications in my body. We get to the source of the problem and use the body's own abilities to heal.
At Back to Health Center, we strive to help you and your whole family achieve your health goals. To give your body what it needs to feel incredible, we provide a broad range of services. We may recommend using a combination of them for your greatest benefit. Whether you suffer from pain or simply want to feel your best, our chiropractic team provides comprehensive, effective care.

What a great team! Dr. Shara and Dr. Kate are both exceptional practitioners and adapted their adjustments based on my ever changing symptoms while pregnant. Felicia did more for me with one massage than three months of physical therapy and Dr Joanie did excellent acupuncture work ahead of delivery. I highly recommend for mamas while pregnant and for baby after delivery. Dr. Shara works absolute magic with newborns. I would travel across multiple state lines just to have her adjust me and my baby again!

Dr. Shara Posner is a wonderful chiropractor. Her demeanor is professional and friendly! She's thorough yet efficient with time and is never running behind. Second review is for Andrew, one of the massage therapists at this same location. He is also thorough and professional. I appreciate and respect them both so much! They are both great people to chat with and get to know better as well. Insurance claims have been easy. Parking is not a problem.

I can't say enough positive and wonderful things about Back to Health and their amazing team! Their team is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and has deep expertise and experience in all they do - and everyone is so kind and empathetic! Dr. Shara Posner has been seeing my two-year-old child and has taken great time and care with each visit - our child had some skin redness / irritation and wasn't sleeping particularly well, and Dr. Posner was incredible with listening and then helping navigate and understand what may be at the root of some of those issues.
She provided science and research-based information, along with amazing pediatric care - our family is very grateful for the help and relief to our child. Dr. Posner made us feel so comfortable, including our child, with each visit and she knew exactly what was causing the issues. Thank you so much, Dr. Posner! I have also been seeing Dr. Katie Zimmerman for some proactive chiropractic work and she has also been wonderful - giving me a set plan and suggestions to set me up for success for now and in the future - and has empowered me as I take care of my overall health.
I always leave feeling great after my body alignments - she explains everything she's doing and why she's doing it, and I'm thankful for how good I feel after each visit. Thank you so much, Dr. Zimmerman!

I previously wrote a negative review and Dr Posner personally called me and cleared up the misunderstanding. THIS meant sooo much to me. It shows how much she cares about her business. My husband and children, 8 and 4, have visited and they came home with rave reviews. Even the little one said he enjoyed his massage. Dr Posner also gave recommendations for picky eating and inattentive behaviors for my children. Dr Posner and her staff are extremely professional. I'm going to make an appointment for myself.

I got my first acupuncture ever with Dr. Joannie and the customer service was excellent! I felt valued and cared for as a customer, she looked out for my needs and asked relevant questions. Even though the acupuncture was 3 weeks ago, Im still feeling the positive effects. I look forward to going back again and recommending to my friends and family.

Andy is the best massage therapist I've ever met. He is super knowledgeable, a great listener and very respectful of ones needs. Working with him and Dr. Shara, I was able to get immediate relief. He helped me while my orthopedic doctors diagnosed the issue over several weeks. Seeing him was the only reason I could walk most days. He's just a wonderful human overall. I've recommended him to my family and friends.

Dr. Shara has worked wonders on my feet! I initially went to her for lower back pain, but soon realized chiropractors can also work on feet. I had tried everything for my plantar fasciitis including devices purchased from Amazon, stretches, exercises, rest, ice and even physical therapy. I have been seeing Dr. Shara weekly for a little over two months and my feet are almost completely healed. My lower back is getting better too. The office is clean and everyone wears masks.

Back to health has not just helped me with constantly throwing out my back but also helped me with my pregnancy and delivery of my daughter. I had adjustments with Dr. Shara Posner. She is amazing, professional and specialize in pregnancy chiropractic adjustments. I truly feel that I owe my easy, three push delivery to her, my body being aligned, and becoming more aware of myself. Thank you Back to Health!

Dr. Joanie Stewart is AWESOME! I was looking for an acupuncturist in Old Town Alexandria and found her and I am so happy I did as she helped me with a kidney stone situation. I credit her with the resolution of my issue and she provided great care, is very knowledgeable, friendly and just very helpful. She recommended some herbs that also really helped me.
I am continuing to go to her now for just regular care as I feel so good after every session. I highly recommend her and the location is very convenient and very comfortable. Thank you Dr. Joanie!
