Written Testimonials
We’re grateful for the trust our patients place in us. Read their experiences with our chiropractic team and the care they’ve received.
In the Fall of 2003, I met with Dr. Angel Carrion, Chiropractor, with the Family and Sports Chiropractic Center in Paramus, NJ. Some years before I had developed a case of medial epicondylitis that had been a persistent problem whenever I would engage in sports (golf) that would place a stress on the elbow, or during weight training.
Dr. Carrion suggested using the Graston Technique as the injury was one of soft tissue. He described the method and then pulled out a set of instruments that to me were more reminiscent of tire irons. The treatment actually traced the injury into the shoulder and seemed extraordinarily simple to me at first.
These tools, the technique, and results, in the hands of a skilled practitioner ended up being nothing short of miraculous. After a couple of days with some stiffness, the pain had completely disappeared. Since then I have been able to play golf and return to my resistance training absolutely pain free.
I’ve been astonished that there is no residual pain and the injured area is as though the injury had never been present. That was more than 9 months ago and there’s never been even the slightest hint of a return of pain or soreness.
As a fitness professional, I would never hesitate to recommend Dr. Carrion and endorse this technique with any of my clients.
Weekly chiropractic visits have become an essential part of my health care routine since I started treatments with Dr’s. Lisa and Angel Carrion six months ago. I feel a great improvement in my flexibility, coordination and overall sense of well-being. I no longer suffer from dizzy spells. The doctors are knowledgeable in many areas, including holistic health, nutrition and physical fitness. The competent and caring chiropractic services provided at the Advanced Health Center have created a framework for me to live a more pleasant and enjoyable life.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for treating me. Thank goodness I put my pride beside me and walked through your office door, only to admit how much pain I was experiencing. The pain in my lower back was so significant, I truly considered giving up teaching Pilates and Spinning. I kept asking myself how could it be that a person in such great physical condition be experiencing so much pain?
Before treatment, you took the time to listen. In asking questions and listening to my answers, we all discovered amazing connections between the pain in my back and the restraining flexibility in my legs. Dr. Angel Carrion, you were right when you said to me, “no one should work out in pain.”
Because of your knowledge and understanding, I know know chiropractic medicine is not solely based on the correct alignment of your spine. It is based on the correct alignment of the spine and the entire body, including the muscles, joints, ligaments, and the mind. Chiropractic medicine also has the ability to open up the energy centers for the body in order to feel alive and well. You have certainly taken chiropractic treatment to a higher level.
A visit to your office is like working with a physical therapist. taking a yoga class. What you are really receiving is a full body treatment by the chiropractor!
I feel compelled to write you both this letter to let you know how much I appreciate your work and the difference you’ve made in my life. I came to you over a year ago as someone who had been suffering with pain for quite some time... years in fact. In the past I’d gone to chiropractors for a quick fix. I would get moderate temporary relief but somehow the pain would always come back and I was never too enthused with the prospect of continuing with my treatment. It always seemed futile to me. Something always seemed to be missing so I gave up.
From my first visit to your office I knew things would be different. you asked me questions no one had ever asked. I was forced to think about how I was leading my life and what I might be doing wrong. Prevention was a concept I was preaching as an RN but not applying in my own daily life. You’ve helped me make prevention a priority, encouraged me to improve the quality of my physical and emotional life, and understand the important link between the two.
Not only is the chiropractic pain I’d had for years now gone, but my entire body is now healthier and stronger. I leave your office each week feeling physically and mentally charged. Thank you for your care and the many ways you’ve changed my life. You’ve exceeded every expectation I may have had and continue to give me great care.

Dr. Carrion is amazing! I’m currently pregnant and was experiencing a lot of pressure and back pain, and he has helped me so much with relieving both. He is very knowledgeable, gentle, and made me feel comfortable throughout my pregnancy. His adjustable table is also perfect for accommodating pregnant women. I highly recommend Dr. Carrion to any expecting mom looking for safe and effective relief!Posted on Google![]()

I started seeing Dr. Carrion as result of my chiropractor retiring and was very anxious to start treatment with someone new. However, Dr. Carrion has been so thorough and precise identifying my issues that I actually feel I have been seeing him for a long time. I was in so much pain and hardly able to move and I can honestly say I'm starting to see so much improvement!!Posted on Google![]()

I’m a Division 1 athlete, and in the middle of my season, I got a serious back injury. The pain was so bad I couldn’t even step on my left leg. I honestly thought my season might be over. Then I started working with Dr. Carrion. From the first visit, he really listened and took my injury seriously. Over the next couple of months, we worked hard together—adjustments, recovery sessions, different treatments—everything I needed to get better. He was super consistent, always made sure I was improving, and pushed me just the right amount. Thanks to Dr. Carrion, not only did I come back—I finished the season strong. I helped my team win the conference and was even named MVP of the entire region. None of that would’ve been possible without his help. He didn’t just fix my back. He helped bring me back to my full self as an athlete. I’m beyond thankful.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Carrion is humble, thorough, and has a holistic approach toward treating his patients. He doesn't just treat, he also helps his patients work towards prevention by helping them to pay attention to nutrition and daily healthy habits/routines. He and his staff genuinely care about their patients and want them to feel better. His office has a calm and relaxing atmosphere.Posted on Google![]()

I'm currently 39 weeks pregnant with my second child. I have been going to Dr. A Carrion since my first pregnancy two years ago. Having weekly adjustment is what has saved me from so much back pain. Not only does it relieve the pain but impacted having a smooth labor & delivery. If you're expecting you should be going to see him weekly it's worth it!!! The office staff is extremely nice! The team overall is great.Posted on Google![]()

I started coming here a few months ago because this was my last hope. I’m 32 and my lower back had me completely disabled. PT just wasn’t working for me. Luckily I found this place and with patience and a great chiropractor I’m back to working out. Not the way I once did but I'm pain free. Manipulating my spine was a crucial factor on how my disc healed. I haven’t had sciatic pain in weeks and I just wanted to thank everyone for getting me back to normal. I’ll be in soon for a regular routine adjustment 🙏🏽Posted on Google![]()

Jonathan Rivera1536 days agoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
He is amazing!!!! He has helped me with far more than just my back. My neck had pain and i have arthritis in my knee. He looked at MRI of my knee and explained on what to do and not do. My posture has improved drastically in just a month's time. Co-workers are complimenting me on my body position. While having a job sitting for 8hrs straight it takes a toll on me, but he has educated me on additional things to apply to my lifestyle. His initial assessment is spot on! Pointing out things that i already knew about my body that he figured out in just 5 minutes time. He is good on scheduling and time management, always courteous, respectful and very professional. He is a master at his craft. Just to point out one last thing, i have been to other chiropractic offices and he was most personal and in depth. I strongly recommend to check him out.Posted on Google![]()

What Angel M. Carrion, DC has done for me is not only fix my tennis elbow when doctors have told me I needed surgery, but is someone I can completely trust with any future issues. He stuck with me to solve the issue when known one else would try. I can’t thank him enough. I can now go to the gym without any worry of pain or self doubt. Cannot praise his work enough.Posted on Google![]()

I came to dr carrion with one of my SEVERELY painful what I call “flare ups.” I had a car accident, being hit by a woman running a red light a few years back in 2018, before having children (currently pregnant with my third baby). I have an array of herniations up and down my spine, among other debilitating injuries, I never recovered from, in fact they’ve gotten worse. Even being pregnant, I came to Dr C with the worse pain in my cervical spine. I couldn’t breathe without pain in my neck and back. This happens to me frequently and has lately become a weekly thing. I was miserable, not sleeping, unhappy and dragging myself to do anything. Persistency is key to your personal treatment working. You have to dedicate! Let me say I felt a bit of relief the same day because of the amount of pain I was in and needed the chiropractic help, but it took time to feel as I do today. Here I am, 3 WEEKS LATER I’m here going out crabbing at the piers with my husband, running around doing everything for my kids the way I want to and even though dr C might tell me to relax I feel SO GOOD! I can sleep, I’m just overall happy. With weekly, 3 times per week, continued visits we’ve been able to get a grasp and manage my spinal health. I’m so beyond happy with how he’s handled me as a pregnant woman and person in general. He’s honest and gentle and I wouldnt be as happy as I am now without him! THANK YOU!!!!Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Carrion and his staff are awesome! Before now I’ve never seen a chiropractor & Dr. Carrion let me know what to expect and what his plan was for me. I have suffered from back pain for years on end and from neck pain more recently. I’ve had sessions with Dr. Carrion for three weeks and my back and neck pain are non-existent. I haven’t felt this great in YEARS & the fact that he and his staff treat you like family is an added bonus!Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Carrion is a knowledgeable and caring chiropractor. He takes the time to assess each patient's individual needs and sets up a plan of action for their recovery or simply to maintain their good health. I am so glad that a friend recommended him to me.

I have been suffering from back and neck pain for the last 10 years, I have been treated by at least 6 different chiropractors doctors. And I can tell you that by far Doctor Carrion is the best chiropractor that I have seen, he is very knowledgeable in his field, besides a great adjustment he gives you advice on exercise and techniques to prevent the pain from coming back.Posted on Google![]()
Gitana Rosa3061 days agoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I came in here a couple of weeks ago for the first time. I researched a lot of chiropractors in the area and his website had a different approach to health (spinal scan) and good reviews. I managed to get scheduled in right away, which was amazing! The staff was super nice over the phone and did their best to get me booked. I had called several doctors in my actual town and none of them responded, most weren’t even in the office or only worked a couple days a week. I passed it off as it being a holiday, it was Memorial Day, but after no response I continued my search and that’s how I found Dr. Carrion. His website was insightful and he uses holistic and innovative techniques to bring the body back to health. I was literally unable to even move my neck from side to side, painful achy joints, couldn’t sleep, felt like ripping my arm off and it even radiated down to my hip and was desperate. He evaluated me, was super informative asked loads of questions and spent a lot of time trying to understand my situation. He suspected what was going on, but got an x-ray immediately- they use a great service up the block who got me in and out with no appointment. Before I knew it, I had a scan in my hands, we reviewed it the next time I went in and it was all the things that he talked about and my body was feeling...basically scoliosis of the neck and upper back. After the first adjustment, I already felt a change, I went home and had to nap it out! The next time even better and I also got a spinal scan, it’s a scan that allows you to see the way the nerves and spine are responding to the adjustments. You actually see the change! I am a pretty tough case as it’s been years if body abuse and neglect. But after 4 treatments my neck finally started to respond, I’m walking taller- no more hip pain or arm pain and I finally see my neck a little bit- I was crooked- and i decided to keep my arm after all and not rip it off! ;). clean office, friendly and helpful staff. And Dr. Angel Carrion is super knowledgeable, effective and gentle. I am happy to know that I’m taking back health. I highly recommend him and if you are looking for a caring, knowledgeable and healing doctor, look no further and book your appointment. Bonus- he also speaks Spanish!Posted on Google![]()
