Dear Patients / Friends,
As you know, 2024 was my last year in practice. Because I was unable to find a doctor to come into the practice and gradually take over, I found it necessary to make other plans.
During the past year I have been interviewing and vetting Chiropractors in the area. The following list has the names and contact information of the doctors I think will best fit your needs.
I will keep the office phone number (301-585-5350) and my new email address (drjlevan@aol.com) for the next few years. Callers will receive the information that I have retired and be directed to this website for information on other doctors.
I hope it is no secret how much I have enjoyed my job. For the past forty-three years I have had the pleasure of knowing and caring for the nicest bunch of people anyone could hope to meet. I will miss you every day. I don't know yet what my next chapter will be, but I can only hope it will be as rewarding as the last four decades have been. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,
Dr. James LeVan
Brenda was the office manager for 9 years. She was crucial to the functioning of the office, making it possible for me to focus on my patients. Brenda was loved by all our patients and will be missed.

I realize that my patients who are transitioning to other doctors may have some questions. Feel free to contact me at the email address above.
Low back pain (LBP) is the most common symptom that brings patients to see a Chiropractor. There are several possible causes of LBP, most of which can be treated effectively. The first step is to determine the cause of the pain.
Just as low back pain has several possible causes, so does neck pain. Neck problems can be accompanied by referred nerve symptoms in the shoulders, arms or hands. The first step is to determine the cause of the pain, most of which can be treated effectively.
As a woman's pregnancy develops, the weight gain unbalances the lower back causing low back pain and often sciatica. Chiropractic care can alleviate this problem and reduce or eliminate the need for pain medication.
Low back problems are often accompanied by referred nerve pain in the hip, leg, or foot. The most common type of referred nerve pain is sciatica, which is relieved when the low back problem is resolved.
Headaches have several possible causes. The most common is musculoskeletal and is effectively treated by Chiropractic care. The first step is to rule out less common, but more serious types of headaches.
Automobile accidents, sports injuries, and accidents in the home are common reasons for people to be treated by a Chiropractor. Extensive research has found that Chiropractic care is often the most effective treatment for these kinds of injuries.
Chiropractic care is an appropriate first step in dealing with most spinal problems and mild to moderate physical injuries because it is non-invasive and does not utilize prescription medication or surgery.
Sometimes. Although surgery is sometimes necessary, it should be a last resort for most people who are having spinal related symptoms. Because most medical doctors know very little about Chiropractic, they often are not aware that there is another option available before resorting to surgery.
Sometimes. Many patients have an injury or condition that can be fully resolved wtih Chiropractic care and after being discharged from care have no need for further treatment. Some patients have injuries or conditions that are not able to be cured. These people must find a way to manage their condition and Chiropractic care can be an effective component of their management program.
Yes, but not because we treat everything. We are holistic because we realize that the proper way to address the human body's problems is with a combination of services from several different healthcare disciplines. We also recognize the powerful effect of a patient's home care program and lifestyle choices.
Chiropractic school, like medical school, consists of two years of basic medical science classes such as anatomy, microbiology, neuroanatomy, and pathology, followed by two years of clinical education in subjects such as orthopedics, neurology, radiology, laboratory diagnosis, etc.
