I had my first visit to Loudoun Family Wellness in February 2016 at the recommendation of a friend and former colleague after I aggravated an old injury in my left hip. I’m a physical therapist assistant by trade, a habitual gym rat and a pole fitness enthusiast. Although I’ve injured myself countless times over the years playing several sports, I was always a little wary of chiropractic care. However, I went into my initial evaluation with an open mind, seeking relief from years of poor posturing, compensatory spinal curves (and resulting muscle spasms) from scoliosis and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Dr. Kent Clark was professional, genuinely caring and informative. He even laughed politely when I self-diagnosed myself and spouted medical jargon at him as I explained my medical history. After my first chiropractic adjustment, my pain level immediately decreased from a 7 (out of 10) to a 2. I left the office without a limp….it was the first time I was able to normalize my gait in two weeks! I went home and didn’t need to take any more pain medication or use a heating pad, which had become my daily routine following my injury to help manage the discomfort. After my initial session, I began coupling Dr. Clark’s chiropractic care with massage therapy with Dr. Pamela Joy. A true believer in an interdisciplinary approach to pain relief, I also stretched and performed stabilization exercises to ensure an optimal result. The nature of my job can be physically taxing in addition to my demanding workout habits, so routine wellness visits are key to keeping my hip and lower back happy and healthy. The entire staff at Loudoun Family Wellness is welcoming, friendly and down to earth, from Michelle’s smiling face greeting you at the front desk to Kent and Pam’s cheery demeanor during clinical care. I couldn’t be happier with my interdisciplinary approach to spinal health and I thank everyone in the office for getting me back on my feet (without a limp) again. Now I’m back in the gym lifting weights, out on the trails hiking mountains and participating in a weekly deep flexibility class (think yoga meets contortionist training) to help my pole fitness training. My wellness journey has only just begun and I’m looking forward to future visits at Loudoun Family Wellness with the entire crew!

I found a fresh and very capable Dr. Kent Clark (yes, superman as I later found out) who has just taken over this practice from Dr. Fink who opted to turn to other interests after 20 years of practice here. I decided to try out Dr. Clark and make up my mind based on the results. A couple of months later and numerous sessions made me an avid fan: As most people who seek a Chiro I have a long history of low back issues that after many years have become serious and caused me a lot of pain and grief. Moreover - in light of recent (repeat) studies that showed a serious risk associated with Advil and other beta blocker type pain killers even in low doses, Chiro was the only viable alternative. Dr. Clark listened very carefully, asked the right questions, and took the time to thoroughly study the MRI I brought with me. He correctly diagnosed my issues and started working on my back. The results were fantastic - almost immediately I got rid of many of the pains and regained full range of motion. I kept coming for alignment and adjustment twice a week for the first few weeks, and with the constant improvement reduced my visits to one a week, or more if the need arises. As part of the treatment Dr, Clark recommends therapeutic massages, advise I gladly took twice with exceptional results from a very competent and capable masseuse- Joanne who also works at the clinic. My wife started treatment for her neck issues and had similar experience and results as did I. Theses are sufficient reasons for me to highly recommend Dr. Clarks practice for anyone with spinal or neck issues. However as an added bonus I found Michelle, the admin, the office setting in the middle of town, the free parking provided by the clinic, and the general patient first attitude of this practice extra-ordinary welcoming, making the visits an event I really look forward to every time. Way to go Superman:-)

Preparing for a figure competition is a whole body experience. Im on a special diet, I workout regularly and I still need time to reflect and meditate. Working out regularly is abusive to my body; I pull muscles and pop bones out of place all the time. I dont have the availability for recovery time the way I would if I wasnt training. Dr. Clark helps me isolate my issues and correct them for immediate future use. Hes shown me how to handle the weight without throwing my back out with each exercise. He often has same day openings where the office can squeeze me in on the schedule. My mind and spiritual healing require different treatments. An hour a week for massage therapy sounds like a little bit, but that small amount helps heal my soul, in addition to any further muscular tightness. Pam has treated muscles so tight that machines couldnt loosen. Her holistic approach to medicine is relieving to my clean-eats diet. Joannes serene music and full-body massages relax me almost into a state of sleep. These treatments help me recuperate from a weeks long abuse in the gym and is necessary for my sanity of my 14 week prep. Thank you, Loudoun Family Wellness, you have somehow pieced me together and kept me whole!

TEN STAR REVIEW!! I have been going to Fink Family Wellness for the past 8 years. Dr Rich, Dr. Lea and Dr. H. are caring, dedicated and they are truly concerned about your wellbeing. Each Dr. has a wealth of knowledge to share, shows true professionalism and embraces you as “family”. I am not only a patient at FFW but I am a friend. It was important to me to find a Chiropractor that meets my specific needs and the techniques that they use are very important. I love the fact that FFW offers many varieties of “healing”. I have utilized all of their services... Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Massage. All the services that they provide compliment each modality of healing. I love going to their office and have recommended them to many of my friends. When you find services provided like you will receive at FFW…you will not want to keep that to yourself :-) Do yourself a favor...Please check them out...you will not regret it!!

My husband recently found Fink Family Wellness when he was experiencing some back pain. On his first visit he noticed they had a treatment for sinus problems using acupoint therapy. I was able to get an appointment the same day and was amazed at the instant relief I experienced. I have suffered for over 20 years with chronic sinus congestion and had resigned myself to what I thought was something I couldnt control. The SEAT protocol that Dr Rich and Dr H have been using on me these past couple of weeks has completely changed my life. I can breathe better than I ever remember being able to, I havent had a migraine since I started treatment, and my hearing- once very muffled due to the sinus condition- has improved. I am telling all of my friends about this wonderful therapy and the local ones about Fink Family Wellness. They are really good at what they do, and care about their patients too!

Simply Outstanding! As a patient with a chronic lower back issue for over 40 years and experience with a dozen or more Chiropractors over the years, the Fink Family Wellness Team is a breath of fresh air. They truly are interested in your health and wellbeing. The entire Fink Team takes the time necessary to understand your issue(s) and formulate a collaborative approach in developing your personalized treatment plan. By understanding my personal and professional schedule and physical limitations as well as, where I wanted to end up the Fink Team formulated a professional and realistic, holistic treatment plan with a common sense approach that made a huge difference for me. Without a doubt, I am much better today because of the Fink Team. I enthusiastically recommend them to anyone in need. Bob Howell Leesburg, VA
