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 from my head and was what was causing my muscle pains and discomfort. He showed me how to appropriately set up my work space so that I don't hurt myself further and gave me the rundown on good bags and bad bags for my neck and spine. He also recommended that I get x-rays but was able to do the first adjustment that day.

I saw him twice a week for a month or so and then have lessened my time as I have become more "in line." He is a great listener, takes copious notes, and obviously cares about the well being of his patients. I would recommend him to anyone, he has literally changed my life and made it pain free.

I first began seeing Jack Mackler last June when my chronic back pain became nearly unbearable. He was the only doctor in DC I contacted who was willing to get me in immediately. Every single doctor I contacted besides Dr. Mackler told me that they had no opening for new patients for three-four weeks. How is that helpful when the severe pain is occurring right now?

To make matters worse, I was scheduled to leave the following evening for a business trip. Dr. Mackler made a way to get me in, however, and we made a plan for continued care after my trip. He quickly determined that I had minor scoliosis - something my hometown chiropractor never told me or my parents when I began having back pain pain when I was 15. In the following weeks, I saw the doctor twice a week, and after two months he had reduced my pains from constant and sharp to constant but bearable. I've been seeing him every other week since.

You'd be hard-pressed to find another doctor as committed to his patients than Jack Mackler.

Dr. Mackler is extremely talented. I have had chronic neck pain for years and he is consistently able to fix my pain issues. He is flexible and spends as much time as you need in order to rally address the problem. LOVE HIM!

I had chronic lower back pain for three years on and off - I'd had x-rays taken, I sat on an exercise ball at work, I tried physical therapy, I was doing weight classes at the gym 3x/week to strengthen my back, and nothing was working. Then I followed a co-worker's recommendation to see Dr. Mackler. Right away, he put up the x-ray I'd brought and pointed out things about my back that my regular doctor and physical therapist had missed. I hadn't been sure what to expect from chiropractice and it is not a massage by any means - but it's not painful, and Dr. Mackler is quick and professional. From the initial treatment, I stood up from the table and had this floating feeling in my lower back, and I realized that was what it felt like to not have any back pain. I hadn't realized until that moment that I had a dull ache all the time. I started out going twice a week, then once, then once every two weeks and I am having longer and longer periods of no pain - it is amazing. And Dr. Mackler helped me remodel my life activities, especially sitting at work, to help prevent the pain in addition to treating it. Great experience!

Dr. Mackler's great - from the beginning, he's been very attentive to all of my needs and has addressed them very effectively. He's also very detailed about what exercises and posture habits to practice in between visits.

I have been seeing Dr. Mackler for almost 20 years. He has always been there to help me when my back problems flare up. He promptly returns phone calls, and his appointment schedule fits my needs. I trust him. He would never suggest that I buy something that wasn't necessary, and he has never pressured me. He is always very considerate and professional. He has explained all the risks and benefits of my treatment options. Everything was explained in detail, all my questions were answered, and I felt a lot better about choosing a treatment plan. I always enjoy my appointments here.
