Virginia Family Chiropractic adds knee decompression and acoustic wave therapy in Alexandria

Virginia Family Chiropractic says its Alexandria office now offers the widest range of pain-treatment technology among its four Northern Virginia locations. The Pickett Center site combines knee decompression, focused acoustic wave therapy, imaging and other tools to keep patients from being sent elsewhere for follow-up care. Why it matters: - The Alexandria office is designed to keep patients in one place for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up instead of sending them to outside specialists. - The broader service menu can matter for patients with multiple pain sources, including knee, spine and soft-tissue issues. - The office is positioned as the practice’s flagship in a dense part of Northern Virginia where patients often want to consolidate care. What happened: - Virginia Family Chiropractic’s Alexandria office added Knee-On-Trac knee decompression and Omniwave focused acoustic wave therapy to its treatment lineup. - The office is located in the Pickett Center shopping plaza, a few blocks from Duke Street in Alexandria. - Dr. Cameron Hatam and Dr. Sarah Cassou lead the office. - Both doctors are certified in Chiropractic BioPhysics, a measurement-based method for correcting spinal alignment. - The Alexandria site now has the broadest treatment technology mix among the practice’s four Northern Virginia locations. The details: - The Alexandria office offers more than two dozen treatment options, including several not available at the Manassas, Falls Church or Woodbridge locations. - Knee-On-Trac isolates the knee and uses gentle mechanical traction to separate the femur from the tibia. - The treatment is intended to create a vacuum effect that draws nutrient-rich fluid back into the joint. - Sessions typically last five to 10 minutes. - The knee treatment is positioned as a non-surgical option for patients with arthritis or meniscus wear. - Omniwave uses focused acoustic waves to reach soft tissue. - The therapy is intended to increase circulation, reduce inflammation and stimulate repair in tendons and ligaments. - The Alexandria office also provides trigger point injections, Y-Axis traction, digital x-rays, MLS laser therapy, shockwave and multiple forms of spinal decompression and traction. - The office can layer therapies in one visit, such as pairing knee decompression with laser therapy or adding acoustic wave work after an adjustment. - The practice says the setup lets doctors reassess patients mid-plan and adjust treatment without waiting for an outside appointment. - The clinical team includes a family nurse practitioner and a supervising medical doctor. - Virginia Family Chiropractic has served Northern Virginia since 2008. - The practice provides drug-free, non-surgical chiropractic and physical medicine care at offices in Alexandria, Falls Church, Manassas and Woodbridge. - The practice accepts most insurance plans, including VA benefits, auto insurance and workers’ compensation. - Patients can learn more at the Alexandria office page . Between the lines: - The Alexandria site appears to function as the system’s most complex care hub, with imaging, adjustment and soft-tissue tools in one office. - That setup may reduce delays between evaluation and treatment for patients managing overlapping conditions. - The emphasis on multiple technologies also signals a broader, more integrated approach than a standard chiropractic-only visit. What’s next: - Virginia Family Chiropractic is likely to steer more complex cases to the Alexandria location when patients need more than routine adjustments. - The office’s service mix may continue to be a differentiator as patients look for faster, one-stop care in Northern Virginia. - More information is available at the Alexandria office page . The bottom line: - Virginia Family Chiropractic’s Alexandria office is trying to keep more pain care under one roof, with a deeper technology stack than its other Northern Virginia locations.
