Dr. Shiau,
I just wanted to thank you and your team for a truly wonderful experience. You were patient, attentive, and incredibly thorough — and my back pain has already been dramatically reduced. I really appreciate the care, and I’m looking forward to my next visit.

Outstanding practitioner and very helpful and friendly staff. I am new to chiropractics and acupuncture, so was a bit apprehensive. Dr. Shiau was very thorough and treated all of my concerns; explained everything so well, put me at ease and gave me much room for hope that the challenges I’ve been experiencing for quite a while now may be significantly ameliorated. WiSH I’d come here YEARS AGO!
August 15, 2024Stephanie J.Verified patient
Excellent doctor. Highly recommend for his knowledge and use of several medical and chiropractic skills. Friendly staff everyone. And my back is better with every visit. I have only had 4 and best experience after 20 years.
July 28, 2024Elizabeth D.Verified patient
What an outstanding visit from top to bottom. The appointment was thorough, un-rushed, friendly and professional. The wide array of available treatments was fantastic and I felt that the appointment far exceeded my expectation of chiropractic care. Everyone in the office was kind and patient and the entire visit felt like a trip to the spa. I eagerly await a follow up visit, I haven't felt this good in months!
February 26, 2024Brett T.Verified patient
Quietly competent. Completely fixed my problem though now I’m not in such pain I’m feeling the other things so I’ll be going back
February 11, 2024Barbara W.Verified patient
Dr. Shiau (pronounced like the first half of shower) is an incredible practitioner!! He developed an extensive treatment plan for me with multiple stages, including at home stretches with print outs of exactly how to do each stretch (with pictures) and how often! He explained exactly what was going on with my spine, and showed me on physical replica. They take almost every type of insurance and they can almost always get you in! The staff is incredibly helpful and the office greeter (Dr. Shiau’s corgi named Orlando) is the sweetest! Would recommend him to everyone I? talk to.
February 5, 2024Rachael L.Verified patient
I would highly recommend trying this place if you’re dealing with pain. I have gone through some more invasive treatments and wanted to give this a try. Dr. Shiau was very kind, knowledgeable and explained everything step by step. I will be back!

I had a great experience here. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the chiropractor provided me with moist heat, acupuncture, and electric muscle therapy. It was my first time trying acupuncture, and it was surprisingly painless. I highly recommend to anyone looking for chiropractic or acupuncture treatments.

January 14, 2023Jeahyun N.Verified patient
My first appointment with Dr. Shiau was amazing. He is very personable and a really good listener. He has state of the art equipment and knows several chiropractic techniques to treat any area of tension or pain, from acupuncture to cupping and much more. Given his experience you would expect him to be much older. My visit was more of a routine check-up — no serious pain or injury — but I left feeling much better than when I arrived. I knew I had some tension in the neck but he also identified and addressed the tightness in my lower back. I left that initial visit feeling great and as if Dr. Shiau has known me for years! Rarely if ever does that happen, but I’m so happy I’ve found this practice. I have since referred family and friends.
January 8, 2023Adam V.Verified patient
Medical guidelines strongly recommend against chiropractic treatments for my condition. However, doctor dismissed this concern and proceeded. My goal from the appointment was to try alternative treatments but avoiding chiropractic adjustments. Adjustments felt uncomfortable and had more pain afterwards. Will follow medical guidelines and avoid any chiropractic treatment in the future

Lienna F.Verified patient
Dr. Shiau is the first chiropractor I’ve ever seen and he made me feel so comfortable and confident in his ability to take care of my injury. I already feel better after one session and will be going back repeatedly.

Was greeted immediately by the most friendly pup. Assistant remembered speaking with me earlier and doctor was great with hearing me and recommending treatment. Only a couple blocks from L'Enfant Plaza Metro station, very walkable and able to maintain for regular appointments. Really grateful to find them when I really needed help.

Awesome experience, will return!
June 20, 2022Logan P.Verified patient
Had my first adjustment today with Dr. Shiau. Could tell a difference immediately. Need to go back for a few weeks to rid the pain, but I was very happy with my first visit. Also, the office dog, Orlando, just made it all the better!
May 9, 2022Tim P.Verified patient
I had a spinal fusion for severe scoliosis 1 1/2 years ago and Dr. Shiau has been amazing at alleviating pain above and below the fusion. He performed a combination of chiropractic adjustments, acupun-cture, electrical muscle stimulation, and soft tissue work to alleviate my pain.
JSVerified patient
Dr. Shiau is very flexible w/ scheduling, which is very much appreciated. Very prompt & professional. They are open late & even have Saturday hours, which is perfect for me. The location is convenient, right off the metro stop. Great bed side manners & always takes time to listen & educate me on my body & pain. I never feel rushed. I highly recommend Dr. Shiau He is a lifelong chiro for me & my family.

Dr. Powell Shiau is the best. He not only completely alleviated my low back pain, but gave me a complete understanding of what he was doing. I would highly recommend anyone to him! He was very professional, knowledgeable, and caring, I will be back for care often.
