I can't say enough good things about **Dr. Monica Scott**. She is incredibly personable, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful--she takes the time to listen and makes you feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire visit. I also want to highlight **Dr. Paul**, who is currently assisting her with patients. His background in physical therapy really shows, especially when working with patients who are active or work out regularly. He's extremely knowledgeable, hands-on, and does a great job explaining movements, recovery, and how to prevent future issues. Together, they make an excellent team. If you're looking for a practice that combines medical expertise with a practical, fitness-aware approach and truly cares about their patients, I highly recommend them. read more

THE BEST EVER!! I have been seeing Dr. Monica weekly for about 2 months now, I'm 38 weeks pregnant and have the worst "SI joint pain" which she informed me about... I felt so discouraged before because it was always "just pregnancy" but Dr. Monica figured out what it was and has been giving me so much relief in our appointments. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seeing her is my most anticipated appointment of the week![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also she is the sweetest most kind person ever but that's just a plus!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I just want to take a moment to express the biggest thank you to my chiropractor today. For the past week and a half, I've been in absolutely crucial pain. The kind that makes it hard to focus, work, sleep, or even feel like yourself. Being in the beauty industry for 8 years, we get so used to pushing through discomfort, sitting for long hours, bending, twisting, and putting our bodies through so much... but this was my very first time ever getting adjusted. And wow!! What an eye-opening experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment I walked in, she made me feel so cared for.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] During my first appointment (which was only $25!), she took X-rays, used lasers, and gave me my first adjustment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But what really stood out was how she explained everything to me in such a clear, comforting way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When she showed me my X-rays and told me exactly why I was in so much pain, everything finally made sense. It honestly made me realize how much our bodies do for us and how much we take them for granted until they scream for help. After the adjustment, I felt immediate relief. I walked out feeling lighter, happier, and honestly so grateful. To all my beauty artists -- whether you do hair, nails, brows, lashes, PMU, anything, please take care of yourselves. We use our bodies every single day to create beauty for others, but we forget to pour that same care back into ourselves. Do yourself a favor and get adjusted. Your future self will thank you. And lastly, a huge thank you to my esthi bestie for referring me. You literally saved me from suffering any longer. I'm beyond grateful and I will most definitely be coming back. read more

This is not towards the care. I never got to that point. They need to make more clear that the initial visit that you prepay for does not include an adjustment. I felt bamboozled. I don't know if that is on purpose, but I did not like. - [[HIGHLIGHT]]They did follow up and I appreciate that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Finally, not in pain! "I've been struggling with my right shoulder for months and it was really hindering my day to day functions. Dr. Monica Scott identified the issue right away and provided an excellent treatment plan. I am thrilled to say I am no longer in pain! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is friendly, the office is clean, and most importantly, I got results![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you!" read more

I have been struggling with sciatica pain on and off for about three years. I went to therapy for it and I also had been trying Pilates which had only given me temporary relief. I reached out to Dr. Scott because of her focus on sciatica as an area of expertise, and in my very first session she did thorough x-rays and was able to pinpoint the cause of my pain caused by lower back alignment issues . I'm about three weeks into the adjustments and I can say I already am seeing very good progress. This is the first week I've been able to take several long walks without any sciatica pain at all . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Her staff is also very professional and accommodating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Amazing! Wonderful! Legit! Beneficial! Results!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr Monica, Dr Paul, and Liberty were super warm&welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The office is small&intimate. Felt comfortable the moment I walked in - which is rare for me with regard to anything "doctor" related. The consult was eye-opening and informative. A plan of action was made on the spot based upon my x-ray results and history. Worked out a treatment plan to fit my budget and busy work schedule. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They truly want you to feel your BEST!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanksabunch Guys. See ya soon read more

I am so happy to have found Dr. Monica! She is amazing at what she does- I always leave feeling great and I love that she outlined a plan for me to get out of the discomfort I have been experiencing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The office staff is so friendly and accommodating as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have been to many other chiropractic practices where they rush through the treatment and try to get so many people in and out which leads to longer wait times, but Alignment Studio is the total opposite. They truly try to stick to your appointment time which I appreciate! read more

I started seeing Dr. Monica when I was experiencing unbearable back pain. I really appreciated the time she took to talk with me, review my X-rays, and discuss a personalized plan of action. It's been a little over a month, and I'm already noticing a difference in my back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Every time I come in, she has a great attitude, greets you with a smile, and genuinely checks in on how you're doing overall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I always look forward to our appointments and truly appreciate everything she's done for my back so far.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This chiropractor/chiropractic office is unmatched! I was already impressed and at ease just from walking to the office, which is located on the first floor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was greeted with a very warm smile from Dr. Monica Scott, who my appointment was with. I immediately felt welcomed and at home here, meaning I felt very comfortable in this business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I waited about 5 min and was seen fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had a one on one with Dr. Scott and she heard my story and background of when I started feeling these pains and where and took notes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She then took X-rays and after finding out the severity of my issues, she actually SCHOOLED ME! I was educated as if I was in High School again, and I LOVED IT! I learned SO much about my own body and how it can be fixed and where it stands in what stage and condition my spine is. As much as I couldn't jump on board with the program she had placed for me, I WILL be coming back to get on that program, receive treatment from her and change my life around, to be pain free and readjust, realign, and remodel my back and neck, back to where it once was to eliminate my pain. Dr. Monica Scott....... You will be seeing me again!!! Thank you for the adjustment!! I will walk over to your office soon! Haha. read more

The Alignment Studio - Beautiful open office - Chiropractors Near Me - Irvine, California

Going to see a Chiropractor is always a bit nerve racking for me because you don't know their style or how they are going to adjust you. The moment I met Dr. Monica Scott I was immediately put at ease. She is very personable, has gentle healing hands and takes her time with you. She is thorough in explaining your x-rays and just pleasant to be around. Her office is warm and inviting with a beautiful view of a courtyard with lots of greenery and a koi pond. Her adjustments don't hurt, all you feel is relief and lightness when you stand up. I came into her office with a mild headache, which I never disclosed and after the adjustment it was gone. The whole experience was very comfortable. read more

As a former Division 1 athlete, martial artist, and fitness professional with 26 years of experience, I've had my fair share of injuries and wear-and-tear. I recently visited Dr. Monica Scott at her Irvine office near the airport, and I couldn't be more impressed with the care I received. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment I walked in, her and her admin assistant created a warm, welcoming environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The health history questionnaire was thorough and gave Dr. Monica the full picture to design a personalized treatment plan. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She took detailed X-rays and explained everything clearly so I understood exactly where my problem areas were and how she planned to address them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] During my first session, she performed manual adjustments and used shockwave therapy--immediately providing relief in my scapula. By the next morning, that issue had cleared up completely! While my lower back is still a work in progress, I left feeling confident and supported in the journey to recovery. What sets Dr. Monica apart is her honesty, attention to detail, and solution-oriented approach--without the high-pressure sales tactics that are unfortunately so common in this industry. I'm extremely grateful for her care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and no-nonsense chiropractor. read more

Go see Monica, you won't regret it. read more

I just had to share my amazing experience with Dr. Monica! I had a past visit to another chiropractor that left me feeling a bit nervous, I wasn't sure about trying it again. But from the moment I walked into her beautiful office, I felt totally welcomed and at ease. As someone who practices yoga, I was dealing with shoulder pain that really affected my practice and she listened to my concerns and crafted a treatment plan just for me. Her knowledge of anatomy was super reassuring, and she explained her process, which definitely calmed my nerves. The gentle adjustments and targeted techniques she used were just what I needed, and I already feel I have much more range, and generally I just felt so so much better and lighter leaving her office. I can't recommend Dr. Monica enough. Her passion, and skill made such a huge difference for me and I'm so grateful to have found her !!! read more

I don't usually write reviews but after working with Dr Monica and her fantastic team, I thought I should. The comfortable patient rooms are welcoming and warm. But it's the actual treatment methodologies used by Dr Monica that really work. I have suffered chronic back pain many times in my life but her treatment plan and regular maintenance visits have prevented all injuries since.

Thank you so much Dr. Scott. I had severe neck and shoulder pain. My neck was jammed and I could not turn it for 3 weeks which was causing me to have nerve pain in my shoulder. Within 15 min after my adjustment my neck released and I've been great since!! Thank you so much Dr. Scott. I felt defeated before I saw you. read more

Dr. Monica Scott is wonderful! I have really terrible neck pain, and the extensive treatment, and her approach to getting you back to living a pain free life is admirable. But, overall it's the the accumulation of her staff, her office aesthetic, her website, and just her care for her clients that makes her such a wonderful chiropractor. So, if anyone feels as though they given up on treatment, I'd highly recommend giving Dr. Monica a shot first, and you'll be glad you did! read more

The Alignment Studio - Vitamins, minerals, and feel. Boho style vibe to the clinic, it's very calming and elegant. - Chiropractors Near Me - Irvine, California

Dr Monica's care is very thorough. She starts the first visit by examining your medical history and taking x rays in order to identify potential target issues to address. She then develops a care plan for when you visit as well as when you're at home that helps improve your condition. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and always knows how to solve any issue. Dr Monica is also very attentive and actively adjusts the kind of care she provides based on the way your body responds and changes over the course of the care plan. read more

I never once considered seeing a chiropractor because my perception of them was to only see one when you're really injured. But I really wanted to focus on my body and prioritize health and wellness, so I was referred to Dr. Monica by my friend Ines, who was already seeing Dr. Monica for 2+ years! I asked a ton of questions on how Dr. Monica is, what's it like, etc. And after reviewing her website, something stuck out to me that really pushed me to schedule an appointment. Dr. Monica said our bodies are like a car, the more you take care of it, the better it'll work in the long run... and that just blew my mind! I started seeing Dr. Monica consistently since July, and so after getting my x-rays done with Dr. Monica and seeing her weekly, I have noticed a significant improvement in how my "pain points" feel. It felt less irritating and uncomfortable! I also love how I feel after getting adjusted, especially after a stressful day at work, or a not so good night sleep. Every time I walk into my appointment, the studio is always so well put together and clean, and I'm ALWAYS greeted by Jane, who is absolutely SO sweet! She always asks me what my "hot spot" is, and she uses sound waves and a massage gun to relax me before Dr. Monica adjusts me. After my 15-20 minute appointment, I walk away feeling so much better! If you've been curious to try a chiropractor in Orange County, I highly recommend Dr. Monica at The Alignment Studio! read more

Dr. Scott is a compassionate and thorough provider that I've been seeing for over a year. She really helped me recover from my auto accident and provides amazing ongoing care to manage my pain and my mobility. I can't recommend her enough. read more

Dr Scott is a true healer...I have been seeing her for only a month and she has worked wonders on my back. I was suffering from sharp, stabbing pain in my lower back for about nine months when I finally decided to see a medical doctor. My doctor took x-rays and said there was nothing wrong except normal, mild degeneration. She prescribed me some pain medication and referred me to a physical therapist. I went to the physical therapist for two weeks and stopped going because the pain was worse than ever. Both the doctor and physical therapist were not hopeful I would recover and I did improve it would only be temporary. My friend suggested I see a chiropractor and so I found Dr Scott. I had the complete opposite experience with Dr Scott. She took her own x-rays and actually went over the results with me and offered a treatment plan. She was hopeful that my pain would be significantly reduced in one month and it would progressively improve in subsequent months. She did a minor adjustment during my first appointment and the sharp pain actually went away. Every visit afterwards, I felt better than the day before. My back pain has gone from 10 (unbearable pain) to 0 (no pain) in one month, just like she predicted. Dr Scott always has a positive and cheerful attitude. Her front desk staff is also positive, cheerful and extremely patient and helpful. She has a relaxing, cozy lobby and never keeps you waiting for long. Dr Scott has helped me turn my life around and back on track. Within the first two weeks, I could start doing simple things like picking things up and getting in and out of the car without any pain. Then I was finally able to put on pants/skirt/socks while standing. And now (after only a month) I can start walking and exercising regularly again. Finally, another improvement I saw that I wasn't expecting is the stiffness in my back is gone. When I used to get up from a chair I would feel stiff for several minutes and slow to walk. Now I don't have any stiffness at all. read more

The only chiropractor I have been to that I would actually recommend to a friend or family member in Orange County. Monica can adjust what is off/unaligned without you even having to tell her. It is a gift I haven't found with anyone else! She takes such care in her work, and is very personable. It is so nice every time I am greeted in her office, and she really knows what she is doing! read more

The Alignment Studio - Waiting area - Chiropractors Near Me - Irvine, California

After dealing with some neck/shoulder pain that restricted my neck range of motion, I finally decided to seek help. Dr. Monica is very kind and easy to talk to. If you've never seen a chiropractor before, she's really good at listening to what pains you've been dealing with. After getting initial X-rays done, I learned that I am in phase 1 of spinal degeneration and had a few cervical disks misaligned that may be the root of my pain. Dr. Monica went over my x-rays with me thoroughly then discussed a treatment plan. Since my insurance is out of network, she offered a few different payment plans and a cash pay discount. I've had only 6 visits so far and already feeling an improvement in my neck's range in motion and pain. Dr. Monica and Jane are super welcoming and make me feel comfortable each time I come in for my appointments. If you're looking for a great chiropractor, I highly recommend Dr. Monica. read more

Dr. Monica and Anne-Marie got me through the hardest of times with my lower lumbar being perma-wrecked, my ankle pulling ligaments, my elbow pulling ligaments...

I first went to The Alignment Studio after dislocating my shoulder playing football; the whole team worked a custom rehab plan for me to not only ensure that I regained strength and full range of motion in my shoulder but also a wholistic approach to strengthen my entire body to prevent future injuries. The office is really conveniently located right off of the 405 and the atmosphere is calming, relaxed and friendly (extra points for the koi fish pond). Every time I return, the team is always willing to customize that visit's care to whatever I might need at the time. read more
