Short story: Proactive Chiropractic is the best. Im 8 sessions in and my chronic lower back pain has all but disappeared. Long story: I spent much of my formative years hunch over a desk, a book, or homework. Now, in my late twenties, Im feeling the effects of that history in the form of lower back pain. The past few months have been especially debilitating, impacting my sleep and my endorphin-habit, which led me on the hunt for some relief. I found Proactive Chiropractic through these very Google reviews and cant believe it took me so long to make an appointment. At my first visit Dr. Pollack assessed the situation - a bulging spinal disc - and started treatment right away. He also gave me stretches to do at home, which have kept the relief going between appointments. Appointments are easy to book, they accept insurance, and weve always started on time - my three requirements for great health-related care. If you are suffering from any kind of spinal pain, go and see these guys - I promise you wont regret it.

I visited Proactive Chiropractic a few weeks ago for the first time, and it was my first ever visit to a chiropractor. I tweaked my upper right back and was experiencing extreme discomfort for over a month. I couldnt sit up without pain, I could participate in any tennis, softball activities. I had a tingling numbness throughout my right shoulder. One visit and session with Dr. Pollack and Proactive Chiropractic completely righted the ship. Dr Pollacks energy and passion for what he does for a living is obvious. He truly wants to help. From the minute we began our session I could tell he was very educated in his field and I immediately felt comfortable with his advice, technique, and training. Not looking anywhere else for my back troubles as long as I live in Rockville, MD. Dr. Pollack and Proactive Chiropractic are awesome!

I brought my 13 year old in with severe abdominal pain as a result of antibiotics and Dr. Pollack adjusted her spine and it was as if hed flipped a switch. A child who was doubled over in pain and listless returned to her perky, pain free self. I was at my wits end trying to assuage the childs pain. It was breaking our hearts to see such discomfort on our child. We walked into Proactive Chiropractic with a hot water bottle pressed to her belly and her head hanging low, after a thorough spinal adjustment our baby girl perked right up. Within an hour she had ditched the hot water bottle. Her lumbar spine was not aligned inhibiting the nerve flow to the areas that control stomach/digestive function. Dr. Pollack straightened her right out and alleviated her pain. THANK YOU!!!

Ive benefited from Chiropractic care for about 10 years. I have problems with constant pain from a past military service-related injury. Chiropractic care has been the only thing that has consistently alleviated or minimized the pain for me. So I have experience with being treated by a few different Chiropractors over the years. I recently started seeing Dr. Joe because I moved to the area and had to find a new Chiropractor. He does a fantastic job! He is very personable. I was immediately impressed with him taking time with me, and he brings a variety of thoughtful approaches in to play in his treatments. I dont know how to describe it in technical terms. It isnt my profession, but I am an experienced patient. He gives great adjustments!

This was my first experience with a chiropractor and Dr. Pollack ("Dr. Joe") was recommended by my internist. I was having lower back and left leg pain that was incredibly debilitating. Dr. Joe was an incredible listener, asking pertinent questions to aid in the diagnosis. He thoroughly explained what the problem could be and what it likely was, using explanations of anatomy that were understandable to a layman and in a manner that generated confidence. He proceeded to provide treatment in his office and give me exercises for my own work at home. Best of all, it seems to be working - I just had my third appointment today and seem to be on a good track back to health. I couldnt recommend him more highly. - Paul-

I play on an indoor volleyball league and did not stretch very well before playing in a game a few weeks ago. Two days after the game I woke up with an intense headache, unlike one I had ever had in the past. After taking about 4 Advil every 4-6 hours for a few days with no relief, I decided I needed some help. Dr. Pollack fit me in the next morning and let me know that he was going to help me. He was very detailed in his therapy and explained to me everything he was doing and why. He also taught me some stretches to keep my spine healthy and my muscles loose. It has been about two weeks since I saw him and I have not had a headache since. I would 100% recommend him to anyone. Thanks Dr. Pollack!!!

This review is for Yoshi. She is awesome and so pleasant. Every time I have went in to see Ryan my Chiropractor she is helpful, very professional, and nice. Answers any questions I may have, and offers awesome customer service. I enjoy going to a doctors office and front desk staff are pleasant. I will say when I first came to this office, there was a girl there who wasnt too nice , and didnt seem happy to be there. I really didnt like the girl who was there on my first visit she handled my appointment and the insurance part. She is not friendly and based off her attitude I didnt know if I was going to return, however on my second and third visit when Yoshi helped me I changed my mind.

For once I didnt feel like I was on an assembly line of patients being treated by zombie doctors giving out pre-canned non-specific "care". I hurt my back in the beginning of May and could barely move. Best choice I ever made in life was going to Joe. He actually pays attention to what you saying, talks to you about it, and cares about making it better. Hes friendly and personable. No joke, I actually look forward to going to the doctor! Dr Joes treatment has actually made me better, not wasted my time. I feel better after each visit and I feel like each visit has been worth my time. I can walk and get in and out of the car now. I couldnt before.

I went to see Dr. Pollack with severe lower back pain. I was having trouble sleeping through the night, sitting at my desk and even bending down to tie my shoes.Dr. Pollack gave me an adjustment that helped tremendously and showed me (through example and assistance) how to appropriately stretch as well as certain tricks to not only heal my back, but strengthen it. My experience with Dr. Pollack was excellent, he asked many probing questions about my injury, my exercise habits and my life style. I spend 5 minutes, twice a day, and perform the stretches Dr. Pollack showed me. I highly recommend his services to everyone.

I have had 3 visits for an on again off again back problem Ive been dealing with for a few years. After one visit with Dr. Ryan Mullen I felt more in control of my situation than I did with a medical doctor or physical therapy. The treatments I received in the office in addition to the realistic stretches and exercises he demonstrated for me to perform at home have really made a difference in alleviating my pain and peace of mind as I learn how to help myself. In addition, everyone in the office is very friendly-definitely an office and professionals I recommend.
