She explained each procedure and checked to make sure I was comfortable with the approach prior to implementation.

“Dr. Toplansky is the most trustworthy doctor I ever met. She actively listens to every concern and is willing to do anything and everything to provide for her patients. When other doctors easily gave up, she was there for us without hesitation. Just knowing we have her support and guidance gives some relief.  My life has improved in so many ways under the care and practice of Dr. Toplansky.  Thank you to the doctors and staff at Basics First. We love you! (4/11/2019)”

“My son was having pain in his back along his spine and up to his neck and he was starting to hunch over from using his phone and computer. He broke his leg last summer and the doctor found one leg was longer than the other. After his first adjustment he was starting to feel much better and his legs were more even. He couldn’t wait to go back for his second session. I definitely recommend Basics First Chiropractic! (3/2/2017)”

“I first went to basics First after a surgeon told me he did not have the skill to operate on my back. I could not walk up a flight of stairs without the rail supporting me and the pain to walk even a block was getting worse. After 3 months of the outstanding professionals helping me I can live my life almost pain free. I am back enjoying working in the yard, walking the dog and am riding my motorcycle for many pleasant hours at a time.  Strongly recommend anyone with a back problem to visit Basics First. After just the first few weeks you will be amazed as I was.  (7/18/2017)”

“Basics First Chiropractic is the best facility I have ever been to. It’s always very clean, smells good, and the atmosphere is wonderful. The doctors and staff are very wonderful, kind, and caring. I had moved to Fairfax and I will drive all the way back to Leesburg for treatment and massage! Thank you Dr. Paul and Dr. Toplansky, may God bless you both and your staff abundantly with good health and happiness. With love, J-Ann. (9/23/2017)”

“I was suffering from severely debilitating lower back pain and finally reached my breaking point. I picked up the phone and called Basics First. Despite being the weekend, I received a call from one of the Doctors, who assured me that they could help. They squeezed me in for a consultation and treatment that Monday. When I walked in, I could barely move (not an exaggeration). When I woke up on Tuesday morning (the day after my visit), I was ecstatic to find my condition greatly improved.
I was skeptical about what one visit could actually accomplish, but after experiencing it for myself, I’m officially a believer. Don’t be as stubborn as I was. If you are feeling pain, set up an appointment!”
