Dr. Michelle

Dr. Michelle Woods has been in Chiropractic practice since 1997. After graduating with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Atlanta, GA, she and her husband, Dr. Sean Woods, relocated to Alexandria, VA to begin working in Old Town. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology from Old Dominion University, Dr. Michelle always knew a career in the health care field would be in her future. It was during her undergraduate years that she was introduced to chiropractic care as a patient after a lower back disc injury left her in excruciating pain and unable to stand up. After receiving chiropractic care for the first time at age 20 and experiencing amazing results, she knew at that point her post-graduate studies would be spent at Chiropractic school.

Dr. Michelle’s approach to chiropractic care is not what people expect when they think of traditional chiropractic adjustments. Her approach involves analyzing and correcting both structural and soft-tissue injuries with a gentle, effective technique. Patients leave feeling better with an overall sense of balance, improved flexibility and movement, and without having to experience a lot of “bone-cracking” adjustments. She can do this utilizing Chiropractic techniques including Thompson Drop Table, Activator Methods, Sacro-Occipital-Technique, as well as targeted soft-tissue/trigger point therapy to promote overall healing. Dr. Michelle has lived in Alexandria, VA for over 20 years, has three children, and enjoys working with her husband at The Chiropractic Associates, LLC. Some of her favorite things include daily stretching and various fitness methods, cooking Italian food, and any time spent on the beach!

Dr. Sean

Dr. Sean Woods has been in Chiropractic practice for 23 years and has recently completed his first book entitled, “The Healing Vibe”. Throughout his career, Dr. Sean has focused on figuring out the underlying cause of disease and he believes he has accurately determined what that cause is. After successfully practicing chiropractic on people of all ages for the first 10 years of practice he decided to do intensive studies into nutrition and how diet and supplementation played a role in helping to create a healthy spine. He did this not only to help his patients heal on deeper levels, but for an exploration into the healing of his own body.

With the addition of nutrition into his practice, Dr. Woods was able to analyze the structure of the body and notice the lasting spinal improvements that occurred with the healing of specific organs and glands. What he uncovered was nothing short of amazing! Dr. Woods has been able to demonstrate how the body is interconnected physically, chemically, and emotionally and how they all play a significant role in the true manifestation of health of any individual. He describes his book as a thesis of his 23 years of practice and what it takes to claim true health and become the creator of your own health destiny.
