I have been going to Friendship Chiropractic off and on for over 3 years. I havent been going that long because theyre doing anything wrong--I just dont do the stretches and exercises I should be doing on a regular basis and end up injuring myself through some of my physical activities. However, I have never been anything but happy with this chiropractic office. Their staff is incredibly friendly. Angelica is wonderful at her job and always knows exactly what I need for my insurance, co-pays, or appt. reminders. She remembers all the patients by their names and it honestly gives you a very family atmosphere feeling when youre there. I am very close to their office, but have had to reschedule SEVERAL times over the past few years. They are always willing to work with me and dont penalize me like some offices that nickel and dime you. That is huge for me since my job can be unpredictable for my schedule. I used to see Dr. Jensen, but since she has left the firm, Dr. Connelly took over for her. He is always super pleasant and genuinely interested in how I am feeling. He remembers everything we discuss about my situation and if I describe a new symptom of soreness or anything, he will try to give me solutions other than just chiropractic solutions--typically exercises or stretches. I think thats important since hes not just pushing his own service. Hes genuinely trying to help me solve my issue and not just with the solution that is the most profitable for him. That says something about his integrity. I always feel better after I leave and never feel like I am rushed or pushed aside. I have never had anything but a wonderful experience at this office and have recommended several of my friends and colleagues to them. I havent had a serious illness in the three years that I have been getting chiropractic care and I used to be a pretty sickly person with colds or flu bugs. The ONLY thing that I changed in my overall health/wellness over that time frame was caring for my spine and getting the right kind of chiropractic care when needed. I am a believer and my own results are the proof for me. I will continue under the care of Friendship Chiropractic whenever the need arises and suggest that anyone in the DMV area give them a chance to help them as well. You wont be disappointed.

I have been going to Friendship Heights Chiropractic since I moved to DC 10 years ago and am glad I can trust the practice whenever I need chiropractic care. (Full disclosure: Dr. Connelly is my fathers cousin. However, I would not have someone adjust my spine if I did not trust them regardless of how I am related.) I have had three great experiences there. Not long after I moved to DC, I started experiencing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. It was not debilitating, but I was afraid it would progress and was concerned I might need surgery eventually. Dr. Connelly adjusted my hand, which provided immediate relief, but also gave me daily exercises. I have kept up those exercises and the carpal tunnel symptoms have never come back. Several years later, my back was just generally painful from working long hours hunched over a computer. Dr. Hancock gave me regular adjustments for about a year and it made a world of difference. Unfortunately, I stopped going because it was so hard to find the time for it, and my back health and posture have suffered. Just last month, I had crippling back spasms from being too aggressive with home improvement. I couldnt walk, lay down, sit, or sleep. Dr. Jane has been giving me adjustments several times a week, as well as stretches and exercises to do at home. The spasms stopped within a few days and, although I am not fully recovered, I am making steady progress and am back to swimming and other (moderate) exercise. I also think that Dr. Connelly does a terrific job passing down his extensive knowledge to the more junior chiropractors in the office. My cousin worked under Dr. Connelly for several years before moving to Connecticut to start his own practice. He still brings up how much he learned from Dr. Connelly. Based on my positive experiences, I am guessing that is the case with Dr. Hancock and Dr. Jane too. I trust each of the three chiropractors at Friendship Heights Chiropractic to provide high quality care.

I started seeing Dr. Connelly after a soccer injury. Months of PT had done nothing to alleviate my pain or bring mobility back to my neck. On my first visit Dr. Connelly assured me he could have me feeling better in time for my wedding. Im now 11 days away from the Big Day and am pain free with almost all my mobility back. I will be able to dance without having to worry about being sidelined with pain. Dr. Connelly is an amazing chiropractor but what sets him apart from others is his genuine care and dedication to making his patients feel better. He doesnt just treat the symptoms he also investigates what is causing them. He know the right questions to ask about stress, sleep habits, nutrition. When I had a set back he took it to heart and worked with me to get me back on course. My mom and sister now see him and he changed their lives as well. My mom suffered through 20 years of back pain and doctors telling her there was nothing to be done aside from surgery. Three months after she started treatment my mom can now power walk for over an hour. It use to be hard for her to stand for more than 20 min. The other doctors at Friendship Chiropractic and the staff are all warm and caring people who work hard to make sure the experience is as easy as possible. From flexible appointments to help with insurance questions to billing they are an amazing group who love what they do and genuinely care for the people they take care of.

The Friendship Heights Chiropractic staff is very professional, knowledgeable, caring, personable, thorough, and well equipped to address the myriad of issues related to spinal injury and recovery. Since 1997 I have sought out the medical guidance and treatment of Friendship Heights Chiropractic for a multitude of issues. A family member recommended that I seek Chiropractic attention after car accident when traditional medical treatment exacerbated my painful condition and failed to provide relief. With my neck and back spasming uncontrollably in desperation and pain, I entered the Friendship Heights Chiropractic office simply seeking relief. I was assessed and treated immediately by Dr. Thomas Connelly. Dr. Connellys treatment eased my pain that day me and my condition improved over the next month or two from the injuries sustained. Since that first experience years ago, I have sought the professional and very cabable expertise of the Friendship Heights Chiropractic staff for maintenance and treatment of neck, back, and other spinal issues and events. If I am ever in a car accident (been in two since my initial introduction), sustain injury from a fail, or experience prolonged heasaches, I immediately call for an appointment. The practical education I receive, whether its one on one or in a seminar, has aided in improving the quality of my everday life and has kept me physically aware and on a path to total health.

Dr. Hancock has been so wonderful, my condition has improved I feel so different as compared to when I first came to see him. He is a caring doctor who really understands his patient’s needs and problems. I feel so blessed to be his patient and I trust Dr. Hancock’s skills to provide the best care for me. He is extraordinarily talented and nice, he spent time listening to my concerns and came up with a great treatment plan. Dr. Hancock has helped me tremendously, I came to his office with upper back pain (I could not move my upper body quickly) and it was painful to sit. When I came to the office my spine had some complications, the upper part of my spine was always giving me upper back pain, my shoulders felt very tight and my upper body as well as lower back felt as if I had little movement. Now going for 3 weeks for chiropractic treatment therapy with Dr. Hancock my upper back pain has subsided, I can move my upper body much more easily and my body feels much more flexible. I also have more flexibility and movement in the neck area which before felt rigid and immovable before the treatment. Additionally, people have noticed that I have a better posture. I can say that now I am completely pain free. It feels that I have my body and life back because of all the noticeable changes. I highly recommend Dr. Hancock to anyone seeking chiropractic treatment.
