Services
Spinal Manipulation
Our spinal manipulation technique corrects misalignments through controlled force application. This treatment improves joint mobility, reduces inflammation, and alleviates nerve irritation causing back and neck pain. Patients receive personalized adjustments using low-force and high-force methods tailored to their specific conditions, including disc herniations and sciatica. The procedure typically takes 10-15 minutes per session with immediate pain relief reported by 78% of patients.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrotherapy treatment uses low-voltage currents to reduce chronic pain and muscle spasms. This modality interrupts pain signals to the brain while stimulating endorphin production for natural pain relief. We employ both TENS and EMS units to treat conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and post-injury recovery. Sessions last 15-20 minutes and are often combined with manual therapy for enhanced effectiveness in our Bethesda, MD location.
Ultrasound Therapy
High-frequency sound waves penetrate deep tissues to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment increases blood flow to injured areas, promoting faster recovery from soft tissue injuries. We use ultrasound therapy for conditions including shoulder pain, tendonitis, and muscle strains. Each 10-minute session delivers targeted heat therapy without skin contact, making it ideal for sensitive patients.
Custom Orthotics
We provide custom-molded orthotic inserts to correct biomechanical foot issues. These prescription devices redistribute pressure evenly across the feet, alleviating pain from plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and heel spurs. Our digital scanning technology creates precise 3D models for optimal arch support. Patients report improved posture and reduced knee/hip pain within four weeks of consistent use.
Exercise Programs
Personalized exercise regimens strengthen muscles and prevent future injuries. Our programs include stretching routines for flexibility, core strengthening for spinal support, and posture correction techniques. Patients receive detailed instructions with visual demonstrations during 15-minute training sessions. We modify exercises based on individual progress and provide home exercise kits for continued care between appointments.

Report
My health care provider referred me to Dr. Beech for severe cervical and lower back pain. After 20+ years of chronic neck, back and leg pain and numerous chiropractors, acupuncturist and orthopedics both civilian and military with no relief. I was actually skeptical that any doctor could help me. After my second visit with Dr. Beech, I have had an amazing turnaround in pain relief. I'm walking long distance without pain again and over enjoying life again. Dr. Beech you have been a life saver for me. This is the only doctor in the pst 20 years that has brought me pain relief, thank you so much. I highly recommend Dr. Beech.

Absolutely the best chiropractor I have ever been to and my experience with Dr. Beech has been excellent. In general, I'd always been wary of chiropractors, but I also didn't want to see an orthopedic doctor and get a lot of pain relief drugs. Dr. Beech diagnosed the cause and treated me for lower back pain. My pain has diminished significantly. Immediately after my first appointment with her, I felt better and would recommend her to my family and anyone I know who is looking for a chiropractor.
She is knowledgeable, caring. Each visit, she really spends a lot of time with you and wants to support and makes sure that you feel better when you leave. Her office staff was exceptional as well. I highly recommend.

I visited Dr Gina Beech at Bethesda Back Center for a Neck, Back and foot injury I sustained due to a car accident and immediately after my first examination and treatment session I could feel the difference on my journey to feel better, both her and her staff was very profound, professional and most importantly, very knowledgeable with informative instructions given. I'm very please to recommend their practice and service to any injured person or just for a follow up after sessions elsewhere or for most common an examination of your injuries.

Dr. Beach was highly recommended by a friend. She is thorough with muscle testing diagnosis which I prefer over getting x-rays. The electrical stimulation and ultrasound therapies helped make the adjustments more effective to treat my sciatica pain. The doctor recommended a few stretching exercises to maintain relief. Her office hours and location are convenient.
