Hi! I'm Dr. Ginger Lowe. I was born and raised in Northern Virginia, and I have been practicing Chiropractic and Massage Therapy in Alexandria since 2007. My interest in health started at an early age, and I was always fascinated with the body and how it functions. At around the age of ten, I started giving my grandmother foot and leg massages because she was always in so much pain. I could see how much better she moved and felt afterward, and it brought me so much joy to help her feel better. I am so grateful I was later able to turn that joy into my purpose and career. After a few years of general undergraduate studies, I realized I was leaning more toward the sciences, particularly anatomy and biology. I knew I wanted to incorporate the healing arts into my profession. I decided to take a pause on that degree and moved to Asheville, NC, to study Massage Therapy. I worked for a Chiropractor while attending The North Carolina School of Natural Healing, and graduated in 2001 with my degree in Massage Therapy. After spending a few years working under his wing as his Chiropractic Assistant and MT, I decided to further my studies in Chiropractic. I graduated from Logan University in 2006, having attained a Bachelors in Human Biology and a Doctorate in Chiropractic. Along with Chiropractic and Massage Therapy, I am also a Registered Yoga Teacher and Certified Dry Needling Practitioner. I incorporate all of these techniques in my sessions, and custom tailor each appointment for the individual. In my spare time, you will find me on outdoor adventures with my husband and dog, cooking healthy meals, planting flowers, and traveling as much as possible. It is my greatest joy to help people function and feel their best, and I am honored to serve the community.
