Spinal Adjustments
Precise manual manipulations realign spinal vertebrae to eliminate nerve interference. This treatment restores proper nervous system function, alleviating pain from misalignments while enhancing bodily communication for improved overall health through natural healing processes.
Spinal Decompression
Computer-assisted traction therapy targeting herniated discs and nerve compression. By creating negative disc pressure, this advanced technique encourages damaged disc material retraction and healing through increased nutrient flow to spinal structures.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Gentle, evidence-based adjustments for infants and children. Our certified specialists address developmental issues, colic, feeding difficulties, and ear infections through safe techniques that support proper nervous system development in young patients.
Prenatal Care
Webster-certified techniques specifically address sacral and pelvic misalignments during pregnancy. This specialized care helps reduce labor complications, alleviate sciatic pain, and support optimal fetal positioning through safe spinal adjustments tailored for expectant mothers.
Therapeutic Modalities
Comprehensive treatment combining manual therapies with advanced rehabilitation techniques. Includes cold laser therapy, muscle testing, and customized exercise programs to accelerate healing, restore mobility, and strengthen musculoskeletal systems for long-term wellness.

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
