Prime Spine Wellness (Bethesda Disc Center)

"Dr.Lee carefully assessed my spinal X-rays before beginning. Over time I decided to commit to a 30-meeting program, meeting 2 or sometimes 3 times per week with attention first to prepping my back for spinal decompression. Over the course of the program there were times I felt a noticeable and welcomed release of energy from my spine. I appreciated that during each session Dr. Lee checked in with me about my neck and back as well as when doing prep work. At the ending session now, my lower back tension is no longer an issue which had always been prominent anytime I was having body work (e.g., massages or other adjustments). Highly recommend Dr. Lee for her methodology and care."

"Important: This is a "rough draft" review and eventually I'll be able to expand on my feedback in the next several weeks, particularly within the second and third paragraphs. My review is in the context of the cervical area of the spine (right-side of the neck/sciatica radiating downward throughout the right side). It was described as a mild case of neuroforaminal narrowing from the radiology report. Also, I had a mild case of lumboral spine trouble that was addressed at a different DCA location in Fairfax. Before going through and while going through the appointments at this DCA location in Bethesda, it was helpful to actually "learn" about the condition you were in and it's phases. Documentation of what's explained to you and feedback from Dr. Lee analyzing you is very helpful. So you're learning about medical phrases, terminologies, etc that apply to you you're in while getting treated for the problem you have. As I went through the appointments, the tightness in my area (C3/C4-C4/C5, shoulders, etc) was described by Dr. Lee as being "guarded". After receiving a cervical traction device about 2/3'rds of the way into the treatment, along with still attending the sessions, the tightness began to ease and the area started to loosen up with more of a fluid-mobile like feeling. In the context of running (treadmill running/races), I don't have enough information at this time to continue expanding my review, so what I could say about this is limited. We haven't completed the entire plan as of the time that this review was initially written. At a minimum, I can say that does feel easier to complete the runs on the treadmill and my racing times/resiliency after running has improved considerably. Although, there are bouts of instability still around that I notice while in training runs and races. The next two races planned are on the 15th of March (a 5k), and on the 4th of April (a 10k)."

"The care and treatment with Dr. Lee has honestly been life changing. I have seen chiropractors my whole life and have had some temporary relief. Dr. Lee's approach with multiple treatments targeted to issues found in x-rays has made a huge difference to the pain I have had in my lower back and shoulders for 20+ years. Jackie is wonderful too with the office side and they are both down to earth and fun to visit. I am so thankful I found Dr. Lee and recommend her to everyone I talk to with back issues!"

"I started out not being able to stand for more that 5-10 mins to cook,clean,walk(no exercise)bend etc. I was given lots of pain pills and muscle relaxers that was just masking the problem. I even had nerves burnt and it didn't work. I was told nothing else could be done. Scrolling on IG, I saw something about decompression therapy and chose to meet with Dr.Lee for a consultation. Immediately after my consult, I said yes. Why so quickly you may ask, because of the way Dr. Lee took her time explaining how it works. I had a copy of a recent MRI. She studied it so when I came back the next day, I knew she studied it from the way she was explaining it and breaking down what was going on. After my first session, I was very sore. After my second session, I was still sore but felt different. By my 3rd session, I was moving differently, I was standing upright and for more than 10mins. As time progressed, I'm walking and moving around so much easier. The office is very quaint and tranquil. No waiting around. You get there and right away you're being seen. Dr. Lee and Jackie (front desk)treat you with the utmost respect and very caring. I'm so grateful to have found this place and Dr. Lee "

"I'm truly grateful for the outstanding care I received at Prime Spine Wellness. The therapy sessions and disc decompression treatments have been incredibly effective -- my lower back pain, which had been troubling me for a long time, is now completely gone. The team is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. They take the time to understand your condition and tailor the treatment to your specific needs. I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Prime Spine Wellness to anyone struggling with back pain or seeking lasting relief. Their approach truly works."

"Doctor Lee is such a good chiropractor. She is pleasant, knowledgeable and I am happy to be in her care. I am 85, with sciatica, low back stenosis, difficulty walking. She studied my tests and designed the appropriate program. Her office is clean with lovely Jackie at the front desk. She uses a decompression table, cold laser, her good massaging hands, and more tools. It is a good location across Bradley center where I park. She does not take Medicare so I opted-out and can use my second insurance Aetna to cover some of the costs. My recovery is slow due to other issues. I highly recommend her services. Solange"

"I have lived with intense chronic pain in my thoracic spine for more than a decade. Dr. Lee's treatment is the first treatment that has actually helped. I have a long ways to go still, but already feel relief from her treatment. She is kind, knowledgeable, hardworking, and really cares about each patient and healing them."

"I've been seeing Dr. Lee at Prime Spine Wellness, and I couldn't be happier with the care I've received. She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely takes the time to understand your needs and explain everything clearly. Each session feels personalized, and I always walk out feeling better--physically and mentally. The clinic itself is clean, calm, and welcoming, with a professional yet comforting vibe. From the front desk to the treatment room, everything runs smoothly and on time. If you're looking for a chiropractor who truly listens, educates, and makes a difference, I highly recommend Dr. Lee. So glad I found this gem in Bethesda!"
