Chiropractors
Charles S. Masarsky DC
Chuck Masarsky was born in the Bronx and grew up on Long Island. His BS is from Cornell University and his DC is from New York Chiropractic College. He also took graduate work at SUNY Stony Brook. He served in the US Army Reserves as a medic and as Chair of the Research Committee of the Virginia Chiropractic Association.
Dr Masarsky has published extensively in professional journals and lectures here and abroad. He co-edited the textbook SOMATOVISCERAL ASPECTS OF CHIROPRACTIC: An Evidence-Based Approach with Dr Todres-Masarsky. They also created and published the research newsletter, Neurological Fitness, encouraging dialogue within the profession.
When he’s not in the office, he’s an adjunct professor at Northern Virginia Community College. He enjoys movies, classical music and playing with his cats. If you’re lucky, you may catch him doing standup at open mikes in the area.
Marion Todres-Masarsky DC
Dr Todres, originally from New Jersey, took her BA and MA (English) from the University of Massachusetts/Boston and her DC is from New York Chiropractic College. She did additional graduate work at SUNY/Binghamton and Rutgers GSE.
She has been a lab instructor on the college level and tutored in English and anatomy. She’s worked in libraries in N.J., Colorado and Massachusetts and still thinks of an old-fashioned card catalogue as a candy store for the curious.
She has served as Chair of the New Practitioners Committee of the Virginia Chiropractic Association and was the first woman elected to the board of that organization, serving as the Northern District Representative, covering Northern Virginia. She has published papers in professional journals as well as co-editing SOMATOVISCERAL ASPECTS OF CHIROPRACTIC: An Evidence-based Approach. With Dr Masarsky, she created and published the research newsletter, Neurological Fitness, to encourage dialogue within the profession.
Outside the office, she loves to cook, garden, hunt for fossils along the beach and laugh. An evening of blues, bluegrass or world music will definitely make her heart sing, as will dinner and conversation with friends. Watching a movie with her cats and Dr Masarsky is good too.
