I truly recommend this place to anyone looking for chiropractic care and overall health maintenance. I started coming here last year after visiting several doctors and struggling to get a proper diagnosis or even have someone take the time to explain what was going on. After meeting Dr. Alessandra Colon at Miss Chiropractic, my experience completely changed. During my very first visit, Dr. Colon took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and provide me with more information and understanding than I had received after weeks of seeing other doctors. I immediately felt comfortable and confident that I was finally in the right place. This is an amazing office with a caring and knowledgeable team. I also want to give a special shout-out to Jennifer, who handles appointments and helps keep everything running smoothly. She is incredibly helpful, professional, and always a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for exceptional chiropractic care and a team that truly takes the time to care for their patients. You will be in great hands!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and recommendation, Alex. We're thrilled Dr. Alessandra Colon and our team were able to provide the listening, clear explanations, and care you deserved, and we will be sure to pass along your kind words to Jennifer. It means a lot to hear you feel comfortable and confident in our office. We appreciate your trust and look forward to continuing to support your health and wellness.

Very impressed with Dr Colon. She was very thorough and methodical and clearly is passionate about getting me healthier. I was at first a little reluctant as she does not take insurance. BUT, when you cut through the insurance co-pays and deductibles it literally about the same costs WITHOUT having to decide what the insurance company believes your treatment should be. I am not a fan of "Dr. Insurance. So glad I am a patient.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words, Michael. We're delighted Dr. Colon's thorough, methodical care and passion for your health made such a positive impression. We appreciate you recognizing the value of direct-pay care and are grateful you chose our practice. We're glad to have you as a patient and look forward to supporting your health journey.

I can’t thank Miss Chiropractic enough for fitting me in last minute when I truly needed it. I woke up unable to move my neck after sleeping on it wrong and was in so much pain. She was professional, caring, and made me feel comfortable right away. After my adjustment, I already felt a huge difference. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, compassionate, and accommodating!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting Miss Chiropractic with your care. We’re so glad we could fit you in last minute and provide relief from your neck pain.

Dr. Colon and her entire staff are exceptional. My daughter has had a hand tremor and chronic pain for over 8 months. After seeing over a dozen different orthopedics, neurologists, rheumatologists, pain specialists and other doctors who haven’t been able to help her, we traveled all the way to Florida from NJ for an appointment with Dr. Colon. She is highly skilled, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. The education we left with was priceless and after seeing the X-rays, she was able to explain my daughter’s pain. After just one adjustment, she had a significant decrease in pain. She followed up after the appointment and referred us to a Dr. in NJ. She is nothing short of a blessing to her patients and we are so hopeful that my daughter’s pain will FINALLY be under control soon and as an added bonus, she was able to help me with chronic pain that I have been dealing with for over 20 years as well!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Simone, for the wonderful 5-star review and for traveling from New Jersey to see us. We’re honored Dr. Colon and our team could provide clarity, meaningful relief for your daughter after one adjustment, and help with your long-standing pain as well. We appreciate your trust in our care and are glad the follow-up and referral were helpful. Wishing your daughter continued improvement and lasting relief.

Dr. Colon was so helpful and immediately made me feel at ease coming in with a back injury. From my greeting at the door to my x-rays, everyone was extremely kind and professional. Just being there and observing all the different medical professionals, staff, and patients - it truly felt like a community there. I also saw Jillian, their injector and she was so great with my tox. I loved the results and cannot wait to go back for other services by her. I came in for some answers on my back injury but will be staying to maintain a healthy neck and spine along with what makes a mama feel her best!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review, Nicole — we’re so glad Dr. Colon and the team could put you at ease and help after your back injury.

I’ve been coming to ms Chiro for approx 5 months and have recently begun taking my son (high school wrestler) for treatment and prevention. Found issues that were treatable before they began skeletal problems and is currently being treated with multiple modalities. We have both experienced relief and benefits and are happy we were fortunate enough to find this establishment. 5 stars. Would highly recommend. Excellent staff. Always happy. The doctor takes her time in explaining her decision and you will be quick to understand how much she loves what she does.

Response from the owner:Thank you, John — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and for trusting us with both your care and your son’s. We’re thrilled to hear you’ve both found relief and value the preventative work we’re doing. Our staff and doctor take pride in explaining treatments and providing personalized care, so your comments mean a lot. We look forward to continuing to support your family’s health.

This is the best place I have found for Chiropractic care. It offers a ton of other services but my experience has been mostly chiropractic and decompression services. I have been plagued by back discomfort for over 2 years and the treatment I have received here has provided me with a new life. I am able to enjoy so many things that I had to give up or limit due to my limited mobility. I cannot say enough good things about the service or the people. Thank you for renewing my youth.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Craig! <3 We appreciate you and are so glad we've been able to play such a role in your healing! Thanks for being such a gem! <3

I had a facial at MC Wellness & Spa with Claudia. This was hands down the best facial I have ever had from the education to the care. I felt taken care of in every aspect. It is evident that Claudia is not only a professional but is passionate about what she does. I finally found someone that I can trust wholeheartedly with my sensitive skin and actually be able to relax. It is truly an experience that everyone should have. I am beyond grateful for finding Claudia.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Bianca. We're thrilled Claudia provided such an exceptional, educational, and caring facial and that you feel comfortable trusting her with your sensitive skin. We will share your kind words with Claudia — she will be delighted. We look forward to welcoming you back and helping you continue to relax and care for your skin.

What Is Scraping Therapy?

Scraping therapy originated in traditional East Asian medicine and has evolved into several modern soft tissue techniques used in chiropractic, sports medicine, and rehabilitation settings. The treatment involves applying gentle to moderate pressure with a handheld instrument along muscles and connective tissue.

Patients often seek scraping therapy to help:

Reduce muscle tightness
Improve soft tissue mobility
Relieve soreness and stiffness
Support recovery after physical activity
Complement chiropractic care and rehabilitation exercises

Temporary redness or small marks on the skin can occur after treatment and are considered a common response to increased superficial circulation.

Benefits of Scraping Therapy

Patients may experience:

Reduced muscle tightness
Improved circulation to treated tissues
Temporary pain relief
Better flexibility and mobility
Reduced post-exercise soreness
Enhanced soft tissue recovery support

Conditions Scraping Therapy May Help Treat

While scraping therapy is not a cure for medical conditions, it may help provide symptom relief and improve mobility in certain musculoskeletal complaints when combined with an appropriate treatment plan.

Neck and Shoulder Tension

Muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders may contribute to stiffness, tension headaches, and restricted movement. Scraping therapy may help relax tight soft tissues and improve mobility.

Upper and Lower Back Pain

Some patients with mechanical back pain or muscular tightness report temporary pain reduction and improved flexibility following soft tissue treatment.

Sports-Related Muscle Tightness

Athletes commonly use instrument-assisted soft tissue techniques to address muscle soreness, overuse tension, and mobility restrictions associated with training.

Myofascial Restrictions

Scraping therapy may help mobilize restricted fascia and soft tissues that contribute to stiffness or discomfort.

Tension Headaches

Muscle tension in the neck and upper shoulders can contribute to some headache patterns. Soft tissue therapies may help reduce muscular strain associated with these symptoms.

Limited Range of Motion

Patients experiencing stiffness or restricted movement may benefit from soft tissue mobilization techniques that help improve tissue flexibility and movement quality.

Repetitive Strain Discomfort

Conditions related to repetitive movement patterns, including tight forearms, shoulders, or calves, may respond to conservative soft tissue care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Scraping Therapy

Does scraping therapy hurt?

Most patients describe the treatment as firm pressure or deep tissue stimulation rather than pain. Intensity can be adjusted based on comfort level.

Are the marks after treatment bruises?

The temporary redness or spotting sometimes seen after treatment is a common response to increased superficial circulation. These marks usually fade within several days.

Is scraping therapy scientifically proven?

Research suggests scraping therapy may help reduce pain and improve mobility for certain musculoskeletal conditions, but evidence quality varies and more rigorous studies are still needed.

How many sessions will I need?

Treatment frequency depends on your condition, goals, and response to care. Some patients notice improvement after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments.

Can scraping therapy be combined with chiropractic care?

Yes. Scraping therapy is commonly used alongside chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitation exercises, and other conservative therapies.

Is scraping therapy safe?

When performed by a trained provider, scraping therapy is generally considered safe for appropriate candidates. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions, bleeding disorders, or acute injuries.

What should I do after treatment?
