Dr. Joe Henderson hails from Long Island, NY and graduated with honors from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (now Southern California University of Health Sciences) after a prior career in Respiratory Therapy. He has been in practice in Old Town, Alexandria since 1999, and in 2016 opened a second location in downtown DC.
His undergraduate degree in Biology and Chemistry, medical experience, and study of structural medicine have fostered his philosophy that there are many avenues to health when the body is in need. Dr. Joe’s approach to working with his patients is a combination of treatment and prevention:
Dr. Joe is a rower and coach with the DC Strokes Rowing Club and a long distance cyclist. He has ridden once from San Francisco to Los Angeles and twice from NY to DC raising money for HIV and AIDS services and research for a cure. He has traveled from Portland, Maine, to Washington, DC by bicycle over three rides, plus an additional 4 day loop around Massanutten Mountain in Shenandoah County, VA, crossing off a bucket list item of biking to the top of Skyline Drive. Next up, he and his cycling buddy are planning on heading south to knock out the rest of the East Coast.
Dr Joe’s core belief is that if the body is supplied with the tools it needs for proper functioning it can help one achieve one’s goals. These tools include structural alignment and function, nutrition, rest, and emotional and spiritual nurturing.
