The Alignment Studio was born from a deep passion for helping people feel better — not just physically, but in every part of their lives. From the beginning, it’s been a place built on compassion, curiosity, and real connection. Healing happens naturally when you have confidence in your future, and one of our biggest “secret weapons” is believing in the body’s incredible ability to heal itself.
Over the years, we’ve added more tools to our toolkit — from powerful deep-tissue therapies to gentle treatments for sensitive areas like the jaw or fingers. Each one plays a unique role in helping our patients heal faster and feel better. We love learning, attending seminars, and exploring the genius of the human body — it truly never stops amazing us.
The Alignment Studio is special because it feels like family, operates like a high-level wellness lab, and gives people the structure they need to level up their health.
The Alignment Studiois where modern chiropractic meets results-driven wellness. We help high-performing professionals, active parents, and athletes recover faster, move better, and feel fully alive again. Our team combines expert chiropractic care with advanced soft-tissue therapies to restore alignment, relieve pain, and build long-term spinal resilience—so you can keep doing what you love at the highest level.
Chiropractic Adjusting at The Alignment Studio isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about precision, connection, and results. Every adjustment is tailored to your body’s unique patterns, helping restore motion, balance, and optimal nerve flow. Our doctors use a blend of gentle, effective techniques to unlock areas of tension, improve mobility, and retrain your spine to move the way it was designed to. Most patients notice an immediate sense of relief, lightness, and better alignment that carries into everything they do—from training hard to working long hours or simply enjoying life without restriction.
Personalized Care Plans That Create Real Change. Comprehensive solutions We don’t guess — we measure.Every care plan begins with digital X-rays and a detailed movement assessment so we can see exactly what’s happening beneath the surface. From there, we design a step-by-step plan to take you from where you are now to where you want to be — without you having to think about every small detail. We track your progress, make precise adjustments, and guide your spine’s healing process so you can simply show up, stay consistent, and feel your body working better week after week.
Advanced Therapies That Amplify Results, the best of modern healing technology We use a full suite of advanced soft-tissue technologies to help your body heal faster and hold alignment longer.Class IV laser therapy boosts cellular repair and reduces inflammation deep in the tissue. Shockwave therapy breaks up stubborn scar tissue and stimulates new blood flow for lasting recovery. Rapid Release targets tight fascia and chronic muscle tension, creating instant relief and flexibility. And our use of therapeutic essential oils supports circulation, relaxation, and overall nervous system balance.
Low Back Pain
Modern life keeps us sitting more than ever — at desks, in cars and on our phones. Over time, that pressure adds up, causing stiffness, pain, and even arthritis. At The Alignment Studio, we find and fix the real cause using digital X-rays, precise adjustments, and advanced therapies like laser and shockwave to help your low back move freely and stay strong.
Neck tension and headaches often come from poor posture, stress, or misalignment. We specialize in restoring motion to the neck and balancing the spine so your muscles can relax and your headaches fade. Many patients notice improvement within just a few visits.
You might feel a sharp pain in the front of your shoulder or notice you can’t lift your arm overhead without stiffness. Shoulder issues are common in sports like weightlifting and jiu-jitsu. Sometimes it’s from the rotator cuff; other times, it starts in the neck. We use advanced tools to find the root cause and unlock those stiff shoulders. Getting athletes back to their sport pain-free is one of our passions.
If sharp pain shoots down your leg, it’s likely a pinched nerve in your lower back. We locate where it’s coming from and relieve the pressure through focused adjustments and targeted soft-tissue therapy — so you can sit, stand, and move without that electric ache.
At The Alignment Studio, nothing makes us prouder than seeing our patients regain balance, mobility, and confidence. Here’s what a few of them have shared about their healing experience with Dr. Monica’s gentle, holistic chiropractic care.

I came to this clinic for mid and lower back pain. From the very first visit, Dr. Monica and the entire team made me feel extremely welcome and comfortable. After just a few weeks of treatment, my back pain is completely gone. Huge thanks to Dr. Monica, Ann Marie, and Liberty for their care and professionalism. I’ll definitely be returning for adjustments whenever I’m in town!

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Monica Scott’s office, The Alignment Studio; it is truly the most advanced and comprehensive wellness center I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. From the moment I stepped inside, I was impressed by the modern, welcoming atmosphere and the professionalism of all of the staff. What truly sets this studio apart is the wide range of services offered—far beyond traditional chiropractic care—making it a one-stop shop for holistic health. Dr. Scott’s approach is incredibly thorough, incorporating cutting-edge treatments like sound wave therapy and laser therapy, which have significantly improved my pain and mobility. The massage and stretching tables are a game-changer, allowing for targeted relief and relaxation tailored to my individual needs. I was particularly amazed to learn that she even has an in-office X-ray machine, a feature I’ve never seen at other clinics, which allows for immediate assessment and customized treatment plans. The variety of health supplements available shows her dedication to addressing overall wellness rather than just symptom relief. I’ve never felt so empowered and hopeful about my health journey, thanks to the personalized attention and innovative approaches at The Alignment Studio. If you're looking for a facility that combines advanced technology, holistic care, and genuine expertise, I highly recommend Dr. Monica Scott’s office—it's truly a health experience unlike any other.

I had a wonderful experience at my first appointment with Dr. Monica Scott. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and took the time to really understand my body and any concerns I had—especially as I’m currently pregnant. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her patients and is committed to supporting their health and well-being.
One thing I really appreciate is that I never feel rushed during my appointments. Dr. Scott takes her time and never pressures me or pushes too hard on areas that could cause discomfort. She’s gentle yet effective, and it’s been such a great chiropractic experience overall—I honestly wish I had come here sooner!
Dr. Scott was able to pinpoint the exact areas that needed relief, and she also worked on spots I didn’t even realize were tight until I felt the difference. I left feeling so much better and more at ease.
Scheduling is easy, and her assistant is fantastic. The customer service is top-notch. During my visit, her assistant performed some soft tissue work using high-tech massage tools—not your typical massage guns, but advanced equipment that helped release tension in my back and shoulders.
My follow-up appointment was just as great—Dr. Scott continued to provide excellent care and customer service, and I felt just as supported and listened to as I did the first time.
The office is clean, welcoming, and has a relaxing atmosphere. They also offer a convenient text messaging service for appointment reminders and communication, which makes everything even more seamless.
If you’re pregnant or looking for a knowledgeable and caring chiropractor, I highly recommend Dr. Monica Scott!

I went to OC for a business trip and had extremely sore back from my travels. Dr. Monica was able to get me in the schedule and really did a great job aligning my back. My pain was gone and I was able to enjoy my travels pain free.

When I arrived at Dr. Monica's office, I was in significant pain and could barely walk. Her team was quick to attend to me, and Dr. Monica wasted no time in welcoming me and attentively listening to my concerns. She effectively assessed the source of my discomfort. The treatment lasted about 40 minutes, and it was truly impressive. I walked out feeling incredibly relaxed and relieved, with newfound mobility. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Care
What happens during my first visit?
Yes, chiropractors are licensed healthcare professionals with a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree. While they aren’t medical doctors (MDs), they undergo years of specialized training in spinal health, musculoskeletal care, and the nervous system. Dr. Monica, for example, is a highly skilled chiropractor in Irvine, CA, offering expert care focused on natural healing and alignment.
Do I need X-rays before getting adjusted?
Chiropractors diagnose and treat conditions related to the spine, joints, and nervous system. They use gentle spinal adjustments and manual therapies to restore alignment, reduce chiropractor joint pain, and improve mobility — helping your body heal naturally without medication or surgery.
How often will I need to come in?
Yes, chiropractic care is generally safe during pregnancy when performed by a trained professional. Dr. Monica uses specialized, gentle techniques to relieve back pain, pelvic discomfort, and postural strain common in expectant mothers.
How long will it take to feel better?
Absolutely. Chiropractic care is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for sciatica. By relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve and improving spinal alignment, Dr. Monica helps reduce pain, tingling, and numbness — allowing you to move comfortably again.
Do adjustments hurt?
Yes — countless patients experience real, lasting relief from chronic pain, poor posture, and nerve issues through regular chiropractic adjustments. Results vary by condition, but consistent care often improves flexibility, alignment, and overall wellness.
What types of treatments do you offer besides chiropractic?
