No two members of a household have quite the same body or the same needs — a toddler, a new mom, and a parent juggling a desk job all carry stress differently. At Palmercare Chiropractic Fairfax, family care means adjusting our approach to fit whoever’s in the chair, from the youngest patient to the oldest.
Instead of treating each visit in isolation, we think about how posture, movement, and nervous system health show up differently across a family — which lets us support everyone under one roof, in one office.
A growing child’s spine is still developing. An expecting mother’s body is adapting rapidly to new physical demands. A working parent is likely carrying tension from stress and repetitive strain. Each of these situations calls for a different kind of care, even though the underlying principle — supporting proper spinal and nervous system function — stays the same.
Several of our Fairfax doctors hold Webster and Logan certifications, which means we’re equipped to care thoughtfully for patients across every one of these life stages. Dr. Anna Choi, who leads our Fairfax office, brings a background in health science and exercise science from Virginia Commonwealth University to how she works with patients of every age.
Family chiropractic care tends to be a good fit for:
Because the needs across a family vary so widely, each member gets a plan built specifically around their age and situation — not a generic template.
Our techniques flex to match the person in the chair, whether that’s a toddler or a grandparent.
Every visit starts the same way regardless of age: we look at health history, current symptoms, posture, and movement to understand what’s really going on before recommending anything.
Pressure and technique shift dramatically based on who’s in front of us — light, gentle contact for children, and for patients who’d rather skip manual adjustment altogether, ArthroStim therapy offers a precise, low-force alternative.
Expecting mothers get care built specifically for pregnancy, supporting posture, comfort, and pelvic balance as the body changes.
Beyond the visit itself, we help families build routines and habits that support spinal health long after they leave the office.
Here’s what typically brings families to Palmercare Chiropractic Fairfax:
Family care often pairs naturally with our broader chiropractic services, giving your household a complete, ongoing approach to wellness.

Care That Adapts to Every Age
At every age, we’re looking at how spinal alignment and nervous system function connect to the symptoms someone’s actually experiencing.
Our techniques are non-invasive and specifically adapted — nothing about how we treat a toddler resembles how we treat an adult.
Every family member walks away with their own plan, shaped by their own needs and goals.
Especially with younger patients, we take the time needed to build trust and make every visit feel safe.
We explain what we’re seeing and why, so your whole family understands the reasoning behind their care.
Our goal is to be the office your family returns to, stage after stage, for years to come.
What Our Fairfax Families Say
HAVE A QUESTION
Common reasons patients seek care include back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint stiffness, and postural issues tied to spinal alignment and nervous system function.
We’ll do a full evaluation covering your symptoms, health history, posture, and spinal function, then use that to shape your plan.
It varies by patient — your symptoms, goals, and how your body responds all play a role. We reassess regularly so you always know where things stand.
Most patients find adjustments comfortable. If you’d prefer a gentler option, our ArthroStim instrument is a good alternative to manual adjustment.
Not at all. Many patients use it to support posture, mobility, and general wellness beyond just managing pain.
Yes — children, expecting mothers, adults, and athletes are all part of what we see at our Fairfax office.
It’s a handheld instrument that delivers gentle, controlled impulses to targeted areas — a good option if you’d rather avoid a traditional manual adjustment.
Possibly, depending on your symptoms and history. We’ll let you know if imaging would be useful as part of your evaluation.
