Kinetic Spine & Rehab | Rockville

"My left shoulder was aching for 2 years, both elbows and right heel were aching for about 1 year. I honestly thought I had early stage of arthritis. Doctors could not explain my aches based on blood tests and X-rays. Taking anti-inflammatory supplements and following anti-inflammatory diet for half year did not make any difference. Then I started feeling pain in my right hip joint. At that time I decided to seek Dr. Bobby Mozafari's help. In 2 hours, after careful examination, special exercises and manipulations, I was 100% pain-free!!! So, it was the proof that it was not arthritis related, but rather pinched/sensitized nerves in my C-spine and T-spine. I am following the PT program and I am on my way to permanent recovery. Highly recommend Dr. Bobby Mozafari and his team. Don't waste your time on doctors who don't understand the root causes of pain."

"I've used Dr Mozafari for a variety of physical challenges over the years. I've found his level of understanding not only what the problems I've faced have been, but how to effectively fix them without having to take 4 months off(as my primary has suggested a few times). I've had success with his recommendations for both chronic issues and ones that have popped up from an active lifestyle. The staff is professional, friendly, and responsive. I highly recommend Kinetic Spine and Rehab! They also have an easy on-line booking system which is great for busy professionals. Keep up the great work!"

"Dr. Bobby is remarkably knowledgeable and skilled in his profession. He stands out as the most professional chiropractor I have ever visited. He consistently maintained a professional demeanor, never making me feel uncomfortable or uneasy. His professionalism is outstanding. Dr. Bobby's expertise is impressive, and his ability to interpret MRI results accurately is important. Dr. Bobby correctly identified my condition and developed an effective treatment plan. I am deeply appreciative of his expertise and the exceptional support provided by his staff. Fernando's skills in physical therapy and exercise are outstanding. Alicia is kind and friendly. The entire team is responsive and attentive. I feel grateful to have found this exceptional practice. Totally recommend this place!!!"

"I've been dealing with low back issues for a while now. After an excruciating incident that left me with numbness down my left leg, I decided to look for someone who specializes in back issues. Dr. Mozafari's initial diagnosis matched up well with what we saw in my MRI afterwards, as well as providing some insights into the root cause that had not surfaced from my previous attempts to seek treatment. He also gave me a treatment plan that seems to be working thus far (3 weeks), so I'm hopefully we're on track to finding a long term solution. In addition to exercises that I can do at home, it's great to also have the ability to work with Fernando who coordinates with Dr. Mozafari to plan out my physical therapy to include my needs as an athlete working to get back to 100%."

"I have been dealing with a severe chest pain since April of this year. I have been in ER several times and was hospitalized three times with 10 out of 10 chest pain. Cardiac, lungs and GI was ruled out but the pain was still there and at times severe. After last hospital visit one of the GI doctors said that it appears to be musculoskeletal pain which was a completely new lead for me. My primary care ordered x-rays and MRI's to try to understand where the issue might be coming from, is it my neck, my back, etc. After visiting pain management clinics and neurosurgeon it made it clear that physical therapy should be the focus. Before finding out about Dr. Bobby, I checked out three other places. Their approach was very general, meaning yes you have some disc degeneration and some muscle tightness, but we don't know what causes the chest pain and have no targeted exercises to address it. When I came to Kinetic, I honestly thought it was "another" place, however to my surprise it was clearly a superior experience. Dr. Bobby listened to my medical history, performed examination and pinpointed the pinched (irritated) nerve issue right away. He then pulled up the MRI images online from the radiology website and confirmed his diagnosis by looking at images. What was impressive that he looked at the images itself not the conclusions as other PT doctors would look at. He gave me exercises to do at home that made a huge difference very quickly. He also ordered nerve conduction and EMG study that confirmed I have bilateral cervical radiculopathy and nerve irritation in t-spine. At the time of the review, it has been 5 weeks since I started physical therapy sessions at Kinetic and I am feeling so much better. I look forward to working with Dr. Bobby to build that muscle support for my neck and back to become pain free. Dr. Bobby is a highly competent doctor who makes a positive difference in people's lives. I highly recommend Dr. Bobby and his team for diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal pain."

"I am 47 years old. Over the last 3 years I had two spinal fusions C4-7. It was a hard decision to do either one, but both times my symptoms were so debilitating there wasnt much choice. Im now a year post op. While my range of motion has improved as have the symptoms of the spinal compression. What took its place is never-ending migraines. In the last year I dont remember a time making it more than a couple weeks without a migraine(never had prior) the longest was a 21 day migraine that started as a complex one which looks just like a stroke and ended in emergency room. I am on monthly preventative, 3 kinds of migraine medication and started botox. Every time I started PT or feeling better and working out on my own always ends in same thing- migraines. Sometimes one, sometimes 3, but always such intense nausea first, then the pressure in my eye, canceling of plans, stopping of work, continual loss of hope. My orthopedic surgeon said everything looks good, my neurologist said everything looks good, pain dr manages my life with meds thr best he can, nerve test shows a slight pinched nerve but thats it. I have lost so much life these last 3 years. So much time in a dark room staring into space migraine med drugged out and forced to think about the idea that this might be what my life looks like going forward. That is NOT a life I want to live. But I was pretty much out of hope. Another dr mentioned Dr. Bobby and told me he was a spinal recovery specialist. I read the reviews, saw the costs, and really didnt think there was a point and all it will do will just give me more migraines. But I wasnt ready to give up just yet. I have been going over the past month. I will not tell you I am all better, I will not tell you I havent had migraines, what I will say is that I have hope. My first sessions I didnt pay enough attention to my head and neck positions and pushed myself too hard/fast and didnt speak up. This is a big challenge for me, my body is naturally quite strong and I love lifting. I was very into power lifting for years prior to this, so not pushing to failure and speaking up that I need to do less is unnatural for me. But, last week I spoke up, I had my session, and 0 migraines!!! On Tuesday I went to a huge concert and for 3 hours forgot that I had spinal issues. I sang, danced, clapped, jumped, and even threw my head around. Did I feel beat up that night? Yes! Did I have any migraines? NO!! That is living! Dr. Bobby is calm and strong, he knows what he is doing and makes you feel very comfortable to be exactly where you are at. The space is clean and well maintained. Fernando is excellent with listening when doing the exercises and making suggestions. I have a long way to go, first goal being continued progress with continued lessening of migraines. From there, who knows?? Even having a goal is huge. Im so grateful to the team at Kinetic for giving me back hope. Thank you!"

"Dr. Bobby Mozafari at Kinetic Spine and Rehab provided one of the most thoughtful and thorough clinical experiences I've had. He took the time to listen, understand the full scope of my concerns, and approach treatment with genuine care; not just symptom relief, but a focus on long-term wellbeing. Unlike many providers who seem rushed, Dr. Mozafari made me feel like my recovery truly mattered. If you're looking for someone who blends expertise with compassion, he's the one to see."

"My son has had a history of hip issues due to overuse in sports for years. We tried rehabbing with p.t. and getting different opinions to resolve his debilitating chronic pain. Dr. Bobby was able to confidently explain everything in detail and actually explain xray mri and ct scan show us what was wrong and gave us the answers we were needing. Bobby is a Godsend and was put in our path to help. We are talking over 10 years of pain and various doctors different states no answers beside P.T. and we're finally getting answers understanding depth of injury and chronic inflammation and finding a path to recovery. I highly recommend Kinetic Spine & Rehab if you're looking for a highly knowledgeable chiropractor and physical therapy provider."
