The Farragut Chiropractic Center treats patients with a variety of pain management issues, including both injury-induced and repetitive motion problems. With over 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Mackler uses a variety of chiropractic techniques tailored to the patient's needs and comfort, in combination with physiotherapy modalities, such as traction, and myofascial release methods, such as post isometric relaxation and Graston Technique.
Injuries, repetitive movements, and postural problems lead to musculoskeletal imbalances that cause faulty movement patterns. These patterns can create a cycle of pain, tightness, and weakness that is hard to break. For the best long-term results, patients are encouraged to be an active part of their care and are educated about their individual rehabilitation process.

Dr. Mackler is the best Chiropractor that I have seen. He even gave me his cell phone to call him if my situation got worse while he was off over the holidays. He was willing to come to work, to help out. Luckily the adjustment helped me, and didn’t need to call him. I was in a lot of neck pain before he adjusted me and I was able to go back to work in a short period of time. He will do his best to fix you using different approaches of decompressing and adjustments. He is the best. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Mackler is awesome. I have seen him on two separate occasions over the past four years. Each time, he resolved my back pain.
He is very meticulous and professional. On the initial visit, he takes time to figure out exactly what is wrong and what angles and positions make the pain worse.
He does not schedule unnecessary appointments; only what is needed and evaluates your progress one appointment at a time. Each time, it took very few appointments to fix my back.
When seeing him this year, I had to drive quite a ways to see him because I am teleworking full time. However, it is worth it and

Dr. Mackler has been incredibly helpful in my journey to pain free living but especially running. I have longstanding back issues that require maintence care with the amount of training I do for marathons. He has been thoughtful in his approach and patient with my crazy schedule. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for expert chiropractic care.

I have seen Dr. Mackler for the past couple of years for the treatment of lower back pain. I ultimately stopped seeing him due to a series of record-keeping mishaps that I grew increasingly frustrated with. In terms of positives, his office is conveniently located in Farragut Square, and is metro accessible to those of us working in and around the Golden Triangle. Moreover, I found him to be a perfectly competent spine and joint manipulator. Hence the two stars.
As far as the negatives go, a one star review posted here touched on the negative aspects of his demeanor. I agree with this assessment

Dr. Mackler is very thorough at what he does. He takes his time to ask all the questions during the initial assessment to ensure you are getting the proper treatment during each appointment. During my appointment, he always makes me feel comfortable while providing great conversations. His office and equipment are always clean. Scheduling future appointments are always effortless and there's never a wait for your scheduled time to begin.

I have been seeing doctor Mackler for two years now, and I am very happy to be a patient. I was very pleased with my prior chiropractor and devastated when he decided to retire. Lucky for me, my prior doctor recommended I begin seeing doctor Mackler and I could not be happier. What I really appreciate about doctor Mackler's practice is that everything works smoothly - my appointments almost always begin on time, if not earlier; the paperwork process has never had a snafu; making appointments is a breeze; and doctor Mackler always gives me a heads up if he will be out of town when I would normally

Dr. Mackler is extremely professional and knowledgeable of what he does. He takes time to analyze the problem and explains very clearly what it is to the patient and what proceeding he will be following to fix it. His office is always clean. Overall, I really recommend Dr. Mackler. My experience has been nothing, but positive.

Excellent in every way. Listens carefully, explains fully, dependable, flexible, generous, smart, articulate, and caring. I trust him as doctor and like him as a person. I've been seeing him for a long time, and he has helped me so much; my quality of life is better because of his care and attention.

Dr. Mackler has been helping me with multiple pain issues for over 10 years. He helped me through chronic post-MVA pain to start with, then through pelvic separation problems in my pregnancy, and more recently through a bulging cervical disc and ongoing hip and knee pain. He's also helped me with my chronic migraines. (And my husband is a loyal patient too.). He is fantastic! I had stopped going when I changed jobs and I could no longer walk to his office, but realized I just had to go back, even though it costs me $8 in parking to see him.

I first went to see Dr. Mackler after my left foot went numb for no apparent reason. Feeling started to return to normal after only two adjustments. Now I see him once a month for adjustments to reduce neck and shoulder pain caused by sitting at a computer all day. Dr. Mackler is a top notch practitioner with years of experience who clearly knows his stuff. He is professional, kind and has a great sense of humor -- absolutely one of the best chiropractors in DC.

I called Dr Mackler a few months ago basically sobbing in pain and he got me in right away. I had severe neck,shoulder, back and knee pain. In just a few sessions I was feeling a thousand times better. Before seeing him I couldn't sit for long without so much pain in my lower back that I tried every different chair in my office. I have over a two hour commute a day and I was in so much pain just driving my car. I was not sleeping well and it was affecting my day to day ability to function. I think Dr Mackler is great and he really cares about helping you feel better as fast as possible. Thanks

I've been seeing Dr. Mackler for almost two years. When I began seeing him I was suffering from longstanding back, neck and hip pain due to a car accident. He diligently assessed my areas of issue and put together a program to begin treating the most inflammatory areas. Over time, the major pain receded and new areas of minor irritation surfaced, he worked with me to alter treatment as necessary.
He has been a blessing and saved me from a state of near immobility. I couldn't even stand in one place for more than a few minutes without shaking in pain. I had gained 40 lbs from not being

Dr. Mackler helped me recover from a car accident injury. He was very helpful even before I met him, advising me on pain management over the phone. He has been able to resolve the pain I was experiencing and adapted his treatment when that became helpful. He is good at the actual adjustments, so they cause minimal discomfort. His appointments are thorough but short, making it easy to get in during the workday and I find him to generally run on time. I've been to a number of chiropractors, and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

If you'd like to find a Dr. to be rude to you, who ignores your administrative needs, and misses appointment times, use Dr. Mackler. He was rude to me, dismissive of my concerns, and errant of essential paperwork required to get reimbursement through my insurance company. Basically put, use someone else!

I have been seeing Dr. Mackler for a little over four months at this point. I had been suffering from terrible back pain for years that I assumed was from being active and having extreme knots in my upper back and behind my shoulder blades. I would get massages frequently that would alleviate the pain for a day or so but always returned. I called him on an especially excruciating day and lucky for me he had a spot open the very next day for new patients.
The first visit took almost two hours. He evaluated my posture, my habits, and lifestyle. He saw that my neck and head protruded far out
