I have never seen a chiropractor. What should I expect?

A conversation about your symptoms and goals, followed by a hands-on movement exam. Most patients receive treatment the same day. You will leave knowing your diagnosis, your plan, and what to do at home. No pressure, no obligation.

How is Spinal Health Group different from other chiropractors in Northern Virginia?

Dr. Josh combines sports medicine with chiropractic, acupuncture, dry needling, soft tissue therapy, and spinal decompression. Every patient gets a personalized plan based on their exam. As a locally owned Springfield practice, we treat every patient like a neighbor.

"The Best in NOVA"

Doctor Josh Alvarado is one of the best practitioners I’ve ever encountered.

He’s been helping me with my back and neck pain, and different sports related injuries for the last 4 years, using different treatments like dry needles, cupping, massage therapy and more.

He’s a true expert! The best in NOVA 🙌

"Highly recommend!"

Highly recommend! Doc Josh helped with me so much.

Bad back issues (discs thinning, bone spurs, hernia) and he worked with me in pin pointing issues and finding the best and quickest solutions. If it took time then it took time but he didn't waste it.

Very knowledgeable and very considerate. Come here with your issues

Dr Josh is amazing I have suffered with back issues in 2018 and have not had relief until I met Dr.Josh.

I look forward to coming each week. I am blessed to have found him if you are suffering in any kind of pain, please reach out to Dr. Josh.

I highly recommend him.

"Dr. Josh is the One"

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Josh! From the moment I walked in, it was clear that he genuinely cares about his patients’ overall wellness—not just the immediate issue.

I initially came in for a specific concern, but he went above and beyond by taking the time to learn about my lifestyle, including the fact that I do CrossFit. He performed a thorough assessment and created a personalized, comprehensive plan that supports my full-body health and performance—not just a quick fix.

His range of techniques is incredible—adjustments, cupping, acupuncture, and electrical stimulation—and he clearly knows how to tailor each approach to what your body actually needs. Every session feels intentional and effective.

If you’re looking for someone who treats the whole person and is invested in your long-term wellness, Dr. Josh is the one. Highly recommend!

"Has Been Excellent"

My experience with Dr. Josh has been excellent.

He’s very communicative and listens well. I’m in my mid-50s and active in functional fitness (CrossFit) — Dr. Josh previously worked in a CrossFit gym so brings a direct understanding of the stress and strain I’m putting on my body.

He clearly has a very systemic view of movement wellness as opposed to treating just the symptoms. I also appreciate that he uses a variety of treatments such as chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, cupping, and electrical stimulation.

I highly recommend Spinal Health Group.
