Taschler Spine & Rehab

Highly recommend very professional setting, very relaxing. Very friendly staff. Purchased groupon, called and had my first appointment that same week. Massage with Ryan was the best massage I’ve ever had. Scheduled my next massage and looking forward to returning. You won’t be disappointed! 5 stars

I learned about the Taschler Center through a Groupon deal (
). It included a chiropractic CONSULT (not exam) and two 50-​min massages.
I scheduled my first appointment for Halloween. This turned out to be pretty awesome, because they’re apparently a fun office. They didn’t go all out or anything, but many of the staff were at least dressed up (Snow White, clown). And they have an office dog, too that just runs around and plays with its toys. I like that it’s nice and casual.
The consult with the doctor wasn’t anything too special. I mistakenly thought it was an exam with adjustments, but the voucher clearly states «consult.» That being said, he was friendly and informative. I just can’t comment much on his actual chiropractic technique.
My massages were with Ryan and both of them were great. He’s very friendly. Usually, I don’t like to talk during my massages; but I found myself just chatting up a storm with Ryan. I think it’s because we’re both pretty conversational and we had some commonalities — both grew up around here, wrestled in high school, and are pretty health conscious. As for his technique, we talked about my problem areas so he knew where to focus; but he still covered the full body. And his pressure is definitely strong. The only criticism that I can offer up is the lubricant he uses appears to be a thick cream rather than an oil. I’m a pretty hairy guy; and though oil works best, whatever’s being used… I need a lot of it. So I ended up with a few knotted clumps of hair on my back from all the massaging. Not a big deal, but I think oil would have mitigated it altogether.

This is an update to the review. I’m updating just because the doctor cared enough. The doctor called me same day and left a message and offered an apology and a free massage. I was just too turned off by the experience enough so that even free massage didn’t grab my interest. They need to work on training front office in customer service.

Dr. Ward is always friendly, compassionate and helpful. He really cares about his patients and comes up with a treatment plan to meet your needs. I trust him completely with my chiropractic needs.

Kudos to Dr. Ward for his thoughtful treatment of our teenager athletes, allowing them to return to their sports quickly!

Pat did THE best deep tissue massages that I’ve ever had! I can’t compliment them enough — everything was perfect. She truly listened and worked exactly where I needed it, which created a fantastic custom massage. I also prefer high-​pressure massages and YES she delivered! The office is beautiful, so that’s a plus too!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Taschler for over a year now… I’ll sum everything up…
— Never waited, super fast
— You can almost always get an appointment
— Dr. Taschler is very kind and she really cares about you
— My back pain goes away every time I see her
— I’ve been to 6 chiropractors and she’s by far the best!
The only down side is if you cancel your appointment 24 hours prior they charge you $ 30. The receptionist was kind of rude last time. I’m really busy with work and unfortunately my schedule changes every day!

I started seeing Dr. Taschler for my lower back problems that I have been dealing with for more than 7 years. I was at the point where I could not sit without pain. Her adjustments left me pain free for several days after my first appointment! The next week, I had no pain for 5 days. I have seen her for three months now, and I have not felt this good since before my injury years before. I had seen numerous doctors and rehabilitation therapists, and no one else solved the problem like Dr. Taschler did. She was able to tell me what exactly was wrong with my back and then give me a solution!
I also became pregnant right before seeing Dr. Taschler for the first time, and I am experiencing very little pregnancy-​related aches and pains that I had for my previous pregnancy. I am very thankful and would recommend seeing her to anyone!
The price for an adjustment with Dr. Taschler was very reasonable, especially for it being in the NoVa area. I was worried of having to pay high prices, but not the case!

Dr Taschler is awesome! I was a nonbeliever before, but she completely changed my mind. I went from the worst back and neck pain in my life to no pain at all with three weeks of treatment. I tried everything else for the pain, including physical therapy, and nothing helped. But Dr. Taschler did. I don’t know how, but all that adjusting and massage therapy worked!
The ONLY reason I gave four stars instead of five was because sometimes it gets crowded in her office and the wait is a little longer than expected. But really, being that in demand isn’t such a bad thing :)

Shortly after writing my review regarding them not accepting my Groupon, Dr. Taschler contacted me to tell me that since I had called before the expiration date of the Groupon, they would give me an appointment. Apparently, she didn’t realize the receptionists were turning people away and rectified that so even a month after the expriation of the Groupon, they were still seeing Groupon patients as long as they called before the expiry. Since I had already been refunded by Groupon, she offered me a complimentary massage so I could review their actual services rather than their phone customer service. I had Amy and she was quite good. I tend to like firmer sports massages rather than Swedish, and I’m not sure what she gave me, but it was just a pleasant massage that I didn’t want to end. The firmer ones are painful at times and I want them to finish up, but this one just felt nice and relaxing. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d recommend this place. One thing to note is that it was hard to find. Democracy Ln winds around a lot and has a million townhouses on it, but they’re located in the big building that says Fairfax Chiropractic or something to that extent.

Great pre-​marathon massage with Trish yesterday. The staff there is very friendly and Trish was great. I’ve met with Dr. Taschler as well and she is very smart about what she does and gets some great results.
Insider tip. they’ve got a cool bicycle they are giving away… stop by their office and see how to win.
Hey, they got a bit overwhelmed with the Groupon (who knew??) thing but its only because they are so GOOD. They’ve got things sorted out now and I’d highly recommend them

3 words: BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.
It has been an ongoing TWO MONTH saga just to schedule a massage. A long wait would be understandable, since their hours DO NOT cater to working schedules and they sold a gazillion groupons. A long wait is NOT understandable when it has been cancelled THE DAY BEFORE 2x! Taschler Center, don’t act like you’re doing me a favor by extending my Groupon — the massage has already been paid for, and I’ve put in my scheduling due dillgence, so it had better happen!
As a customer, I would like to not have to wait a month to schedule FOR THE THIRD TIME, because your employees don’t feel like telling me the massage has been cancelled until the day before. I don’t find it cute to be told «We can’t anticipate emergencies.» You CAN anticipate when your «therapists no longer work there!» You CAN anticipate high demand for appointments because of the Groupon and make necessary business arrangements like extending hours or hiring temporary therapists to accomodate! and you CAN anticipate your potential future clients to be extremely irritated by your poor customer service attitude.
If this massage had not already been paid for, there would be no way I would be dealing with this mess.
