Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal misalignments to improve nervous system function and overall health. Using manual adjustments and advanced techniques, we address pain, mobility issues, and chronic conditions. Patients benefit from personalized care plans tailored to their specific needs, including wellness strategies for long-term health.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy alleviates disc-related pain by creating negative pressure to retract herniated material and promote healing. This non-surgical approach treats bulging discs, sciatica, and neck pain, offering relief through targeted traction without invasive procedures.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Specialized chiropractic treatments for infants and children address issues like colic, ear infections, and developmental challenges. Gentle adjustments support nervous system health, improving sleep, digestion, and overall wellness in a safe, family-friendly environment.
Prenatal Care
Prenatal chiropractic care addresses back pain, pelvic alignment, and posture changes during pregnancy. Using Webster Technique-certified methods, we enhance comfort and prepare the body for labor while ensuring safety for both mother and baby.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy services integrate therapeutic exercises, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation to restore mobility and reduce pain. Tailored rehabilitation programs support recovery from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions, focusing on functional improvement and strength building.

I was treated like royalty. The staff here is really nice & personable. You dont feel rushed. After reviewing my medical history, I was given a thorough exam. The experience was also educational. With charts & posters, Eric explained how specific vertebrae are effecting my body. I do wish I had spent more time practicing some of the exercises staff was teaching me. I will definitely return.

This was my first experience with chiropractic care. I am glad I did my research because Palmercare DC is thee best! I originally came in for lower back pain. I am pretty athletic and grew up playing sports so I am familiar to pain. However, this pain was unbearable. I went in for a consultation with Dr. Scott and basically cried my eyes out and told him I may need a new back. He calmed my nerves and I felt totally comfortable describing my pain.
I took and x-ray and Dr. Scott explained what my issues were, created a plan and I began seeing him weekly. After my first visit, I felt so much better. I am about 4 weeks in of care with Dr. Scott and I feel like I have the back of a teenager. I will be coming to Palmercare even when my pain is all gone and will continue with maintenance. I am so grateful to Dr. Scott and the entire team at Palmercare! Thank you for your honesty and customer service!

Dr. Eric and Dr. Scott are both amazing Healers. All of the staff are so professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They are attentive and somehow seem to know each of us. The whole vibe of the office is one big uplifting joyful Journey especially when you're maybe not feeling your best- you always leave feeling better!

My family and I were on a DC vacation when my hubby's back started bugging him. He was in intense pain, and we had to cancel all of our tours. We see our regular chiropractor in Texas and was recommended a different chiropractor in Virginia by family members during the holidays. Unfortunately, his office was closed, so I did a Google search and chose Palmercare based on the reviews. Because of the holidays, most places were booked or closed, but Dr. Scott fit us in.
We had two appointments at this place and both doctors (sorry, can't recall the name of the second doctor) were EXCELLENT! They saved our vacation, and my hubby was able to get on the plane and have a comfortable flight home! With all the initial pain, my hubby was a bit of an a-hole, yet the front desk staff were very kind, patient, and understanding of him. They didn't give him attitude despite his rudeness due to the pain, and I give them kudos for that (not sure I could have given the same good customer service to a blatantly rude customer!). If you want knowledgeable doctors and caring and compassionate staff, this is your place!

All of the staff were so nice and Dr. Ashley was amazing. I was nervous to get my first adjustment but she explained everything in detail and made me extremely comfortable. If you've never had an adjustment before, get one.now! I felt 10 years younger when I left that office. 10 out of 10

I stumbled upon this office by accident but I am so glad I did! Dr. Eric is just wonderful, very knowledgeable, straightforward and very thorough. His energy is very contagious and you immediately have the feeling that he wants to help you get better! The office is very welcoming, great atmosphere (great music, too!) and the staff is super polite and helpful and a lot of fun! Love coming in here! Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with Drs. Scott, Eric and Ashley, not only were they extremely attentive to my care but they followed up with great care outside of the office with lifestyle adjustments. One of the best parts of this office is the extremely welcoming and accommodating staff. I would recommend Palmer care to anyone considering chiropractic care!

Dr. Eric and the entire staff are amazingly friendly, accommodating and also phenomenal at what they do! I was a first time, skeptical patient that came in on the 50$ special and left my first appointment feeling educated, inspired and ready to do the work necessary to allow my body to heal. As a current on going patient I feel continuously supported by the staff and and am always excited for my appointments. The office runs very efficiently and I rarely ever have to wait. It's definitely worth the visit! Tell them Jordan sent you

I started going to Palmercare Chiropractic because I had shoulder and lower back pain. When I arrived for my initial appointment with Dr. Heather, I received a warm and fuzzy greeting by name! It was as if they knew me and were happy to see me. I received a nerve scan, xrays, and initial adjustment. I left the office without paying a dime. In my second appointment, I received a treatment plan which includes their assessment of my diagnostic tests and another adjustment, STEM, and traction.
I agreed to the treatment plan and left once again without paying a dime. In the third visit, they told me how much my insurance paid and what was left for me to pay (only $7 per visit)! I now go to them twice per week EVERY WEEK for the full gambit! I leave feeling so relaxed. This is even better than a massage.

I love coming to this chiropractor and it is the best chiropractor I have found so far in the DC area. Palmercare Chiropractic actually cares, i tell them I'm having an issue, they try to help me fix it. They have massage chairs for you to use while waiting. They actually recommend vitamins and supplements and will refer you where needed if you have a problem they can't solve. Their staff is awesome, they utilized their office space quite well and everyone always had a smile on their face.
They even have a new patient orientation to help you know what to do between your appointments. They have payment plans and arrangements that most places I've been to don't offer and they will really work with you.

Dr Vivian changed my son's life. I cannot thank her enough for how she helped him. He suffered from intermittent facial tics for five years, and they are 95 percent gone since he started seeing Dr Vivian 3 years ago. His quality of life has improved, his confidence has increased, and he is stronger both physically and mentally. Dr. VIvian has done more for my son than years of other doctors appointments. My son looks forward to seeing her and enjoys his visits. She is amazing and I highly recommend her, especially to parents of children with tic disorders and other neuro issues.
