Nova Rehabilitation RX Fitness & Nutrition

Dr. Ratcliffe is incredibly personable and takes care of his patients. Working through both their physical problems with localized or chronic pain as any good chiropractor would- but also working with them to ensure that any other issues that they have can be addressed and made right. Thank you for taking your time to take care of us.

Dr. Brent Banks was amazing at helping my young daughter with pain she was feeling in her neck. We have been to a few chiropractors but the amount of time Dr. Banks took to help address her issue and also giving us instructions for what to do at home has helped my daughter to FINALLY be pain free after just a few appointments. He is extremely knowledgable and takes the time to listen to your concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Banks and NOVA Chiropractic to families seeking chiropractic care.

I first started seeing this practice when I relocated back to Virginia to establish care. I went with the expectation that I would get my back adjusted and be on my way. I got way more than I bargained for! They were able to help me diagnosis the numbness in my arms that no other physicians would address. Dr. John is also a functional medicine doc so he was able to help me find out (via a food panel) that I had a gluten intolerant and I was allergic to peanuts.

I've struggled with my weight since being diagnosed with my autoimmunes but I never knew food was also hurting me. I swear by this practice! Since Dr. John and his practice came into my life I've been virtually PAIN FREE for the first time in 10 years. No more numbness in my arms. And I've lost over 10lbs since cutting out the food that has been hurting me all these years! If you aren't getting anywhere with your current physicians I urge you to at least go once! I went once and a year later I'm still SO happy with my decision!

Dr J has been a great friend and brother over the years. He more than anyone I have known has had the heart, perseverance, faith, empathy, encouragement, and zeal to see my healing come to fruition. I suffered from disabilities sustained during my time in the Marines that included brain stem compression and 7 degenerating discs. I have regained nearly 85% of my former strength and endurance that once existed as a young Marine and hope this story will encourage others that have been under your care. Starting a year ago, I really tried to recenter and re-evaluate how my body was interpreting the neurological pain and vascular compressions in the base of my skull.

My approach was as follows: light body weight exercises followed by ice baths (Wim Hot method), and acupuncture to address neurological neuropathy/pain. A year ago, I would be in immense pain doing 10 push ups and now do over 100 without impediment, 25 body weight squats to now doing 500, and began reincorporating lifting. For chest tension, I would do single arm half push-ups on a medicine and lifting flower pots that weighed less than 2lbs to build the strength back.

I have incorporated stem cells extracted from my hip (bone marrow) and injected into the occipital region, cervical and lumbar spine. This has not been a cure for anything, but a nudge that has enabled me to progress past the progress of the surgery in 2012 along with the degeneration of C1-C5 and L4-S1. Without your care, fellowship and guidance, NONE of this would have been possible.

I haven't had a chairi migraine in over 2 years and the vascularity at near the surgical site as branched left and right of the occipital region enabling me to workout with greater duration and endurance. I just did a 2.5 hour hike with a pack and altitude mask yesterday :). It has been a 10 year journey that did not see fruition until year 9. I went from weighing 160 lbs to being at 197 as of yesterday.

My goal is to now summit Denali next summer and look to rejoin the Marines. There are additional challenges I am sure that may have to be faced in the future, but I am blessed for everything you guys have done for me. Your willingness to listen to my plight and be supportive means the world. You spent fifteen extra minutes looking at my MRI back in 2011 that five other Drs/Surgeons missed that saved me. I am indebted to you forever. May God bless you guys and all the work you do.

I've been going here for about 3 months now. I've gotten more answers and help with so many health problems in that time than I've had in the past give years from other doctors. There's a reason Dr. J and Dr. Beckwith have so many great reviews. If you need someone to listen and take good care of you, come here

This was my first visit to chiropractor and I was seen by Dr. Beckwith for complications with my leg/hip after sports injury (swimming). I cannot express more appreciation for the quality of assessment, knowledge and professionalism I have experienced today with this doctor. She delivered above and beyond my expectations. Feeling the pop during alignment was priceless and provided much needed relief. I'm very free grateful that I found this team. Everyone was extremely accommodating and very professional. Highly recommend!

The best practice by far. Words are not enough to express how professional and knowledgeable the practice is.

Dr Ratcliffe deserves 10 stars. I have been going here for 2 years. No matter what happens with my back he is always knows hot to fix it. He is such a nice guy and understanding. Staff is awesome as well. Lucky to find a doctor such as Dr Ratcliffe.

I have to say, first, that I RARELY post reviews, but I had to make an exception in this case. I moved to the are several years ago and went about looking for a chiropractor, because of the spinal issues I have had throughout my life. When I first met Dr John it was on in emergency situation. I literally couldn't walk. I had been to a couple of other chiropractors who just didn't cut it.

This time I was at work, and the pain was intense. NOVA was just down the street from my work, and at that point, that was all that mattered to me. Dr Radcliffe was unbelievably professional during my first visit so I really had no idea what was to come. It has been quite a long time since that first visit. I have to say that I believe John is now as much a friend, as he is my "go to" health advisor.

He is FAR MORE than an average Chiropractor. It is very easy to see his interest in furthering his knowledge by the countless certifications mounted throughout his office and facility. Again I cannot say enough about the confidence I have in recommending NOVA Chiropractic. I truly hope that this recommendation will be helpful to whomever is reading it.

I highly recommend NOVA Chiropratic. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the doctors are highly skilled. They use multiple techniques and treatments in each visit to provide optimal results. I always feel much better after my treatments and my overall pain has decreased substantially since beginning treatment.

It's my first time to visit this place having back pain and z front desk lady was nice and welcoming and the doctor is also experienced and knowledgeable.i will review in detail after I'm done with all therapy

Dr. Ratcliffe has always been our one stop shop for our physical fitness needs. He is super knowledgeable, friendly, and with us through it all. His recent selection to add Dr. Beckwith is no surprise as her expertise and care is off the charts! We highly recommend the team at NOVA Chiropractic!

Dr John is awesome! He fixed my shoulder in just a few visits. I had a fall that resulted in an aching shoulder. Beyond the dull ache there was a sharp pain when I moved it a certain direction. Found r John two weeks after the fall, the pain was persistent until Dr John treated me. My first experience having my shoulder adjusted. Dr John is very thorough and I'm so glad to have a skilled Dr in case I have any future ailments.

Plus I believe in getting adjusted periodically as preventive care. Additionally his office and staff are amazing. He allows us to use top notch massage chairs while we wait, great way to loosen up! His staff is pleasant and skilled, they do a great job administrating stem, stretching and massage. For massage they used a pulsating device that is unlike any other electronic device I've previously experienced, does a great job loosening tight muscles.

This place is one of a kind. I had never been to a chiropractor before this and my experience from beginning to end was just phenomenal. Dr. Ratcliffe is an amazing person and a man of faith and good character. He is also really friendly, funny and easy going and makes you feel super comfortable on top of knowing his profession so well. His staff members are all super friendly and make everything easy and comfortable.

They worked with my insurance beginning to end for an accident I was in and made it all easy for me. Kristin the office manager is extremely professional and sweet leads a good group there. I would recommend this office for any chiropractor needs. Go NOVA Chiropractic, ya'll got it going on and thank you for making me feel all better! :

I am very pleased with my experience at Nova Chiropractic & Rehab Center of Sterling. It is good to be treated with professionalism and personalized care. Dr. Ratcliffe has been very thoughtful and careful in handling my sensitivity to pain. He has a good grasp of my condition and his protocols to handle the same are very effective. He is friendly and has a great sense of humor, which helps keep the adjustment sessions upbeat and fun. The staff is courteous and friendly makes me feel I am in safe hands.
