Chiropractic Care in Fairfax, VA
Helping You Function, Move, and Feel Better
When pain or stiffness becomes part of your daily routine, it’s easy to start working around it instead of addressing it. Palmercare Chiropractic Fairfax takes a different approach: we look for what’s actually driving your discomfort, then build care around correcting it, not just covering it up.
From spinal assessments and posture analysis to hands-on adjustments and gentler instrument-based options, our Fairfax team draws on a full range of tools to help your body move and function the way it’s meant to.
Understanding Chiropractic Care
At its core, chiropractic care is built on the relationship between your spine and your nervous system. Restricted joint movement or spinal misalignment can interfere with that communication, and over time that interference tends to show up as pain, tightness, or a body that just doesn’t move the way it used to.
Before recommending any treatment, our Fairfax doctors take a close look at how you’re actually moving — spinal alignment, joint mobility, posture, everyday movement patterns — so we understand the underlying picture, not just the symptom you walked in with.
You might be a good fit for chiropractic care if you’re dealing with:
- Back or neck pain that never fully goes away
- Stiffness that sets in after driving, sitting, or working
- Noticeably limited range of motion
- Tension headaches
- Posture that’s suffered from years at a desk or on a phone
- A sense that your body just isn’t operating at full capacity
- Interest in a drug-free, natural path to feeling better
No two patients get the same plan — your care is shaped entirely around what we find during your evaluation and what you’re hoping to achieve.

How We Help Patients in Fairfax
Every plan starts with understanding your body’s mechanics, then addressing what’s limiting them — with options suited to your comfort level.
Comprehensive Health Assessment
We start by getting the full picture: your symptoms, health history, posture, movement, and spinal function. That assessment becomes the foundation for everything that follows in your care plan.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Adjustments work to restore normal joint movement and spinal alignment. When a joint is restricted, it can create irritation and downstream tension elsewhere in the body — freeing that movement is often the first step toward lasting relief.
ArthroStim-Assisted Care
Not every patient wants a traditional hands-on adjustment, and that’s exactly why our Fairfax office offers ArthroStim therapy. This handheld instrument delivers precise, gentle impulses to targeted areas, giving patients who prefer a lighter touch — or who simply respond better to a more controlled approach — an effective alternative to manual adjustment.
Corrective and Wellness-Focused Care
Depending on where you’re starting from, your plan may focus on actively correcting a specific issue, or on maintaining the progress you’ve already made. We build toward whichever goal fits your situation.
What Patients Can Expect
Here’s what patients typically come to us hoping to achieve:
- Natural relief from pain and discomfort
- Better spinal alignment and joint mobility
- Greater flexibility and range of motion
- Improved posture
- Less overall muscle tension
- Stronger nervous system function
- A better quality of life day to day

Why Choose Palmercare Chiropractic Fairfax
Care That’s Actually Built Around You
Root-Cause Focused
We’d rather understand why you’re in pain than just treat the pain itself — that’s the difference between temporary relief and real progress.
Natural, Drug-Free Approach
Every technique we use, from manual adjustments to ArthroStim therapy, works with your body’s own healing capacity rather than masking symptoms.
Plans Built for the Individual
Your history, your goals, and your comfort preferences all shape the plan we build — nothing about your care is off the shelf.
Function Comes First
We measure success by how well you move and feel in daily life, not just whether the pain is temporarily gone.
Clear Communication, Always
You’ll understand what we find and why we’re recommending it — no jargon, no guesswork on your end.
Built for the Long Run
We’re aiming for durable improvement in how your body functions, not a quick fix that wears off in a week.
Dr. Anna Choi, who leads care at our Fairfax office, is a Springfield, VA native and Virginia Commonwealth University graduate with a background in health science and exercise science. Her focus is on helping patients achieve lasting relief from a stressed, overworked nervous system — not just short-term symptom management.
