Dr. Michael Rodriguez Miranda
Chiropractor
Dr. Michael Rodriguez is on a mission to help everyone in Fajardo and the east side community of Puerto Rico understand that there are easier ways to solve their health problems. It’s why he earned his biomedical science at Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico and his doctorate in chiropractic from Sherman College of Chiropractic in South Carolina. And, it’s why he decided to open AlignLife of Fajardo with his wife, Dr. Ana.
To him, chiropractic care isn’t about what he can do to help relieve someone’s body from neck or back pain. It’s about helping patients understand that their own body has the unique ability to heal itself from the inside out. By making specific adjustments to your spine, Dr. Michael will help you remove interferences in your body (subluxations) and help you get on the right path to reaching your health goals.
He is a firm believer that no one should accept living with pain as normal. Rather, they should look at it as a sign of something not functioning correctly, then address the root cause of the issue, rather than masking the symptom.
In his free time, Dr. Michael can often be found visiting patients that are hospitalized in their homes because they can’t afford to see their primary MD. While there, he adjusts the whole family for free so they too can realize how the body is made to feel when they reduce stress, sleep better and heal faster simply by having a nervous system free of interferences. He also loves spending time with his wife, Dr. Ana, and occasionally indulges in his sweet cravings for dessert.

Dr. Ana C. Garcia Rios
Chiropractor
Helping people achieve better health and wellness naturally is the reason Dr. Ana became a chiropractor. But her first-hand experience with how it can help with more than back pain also played a big part. For years, Dr. Ana struggled with headaches. In college, while working towards her biology degree, the headaches escalated to migraines. She was taking pain medicine every day just to get through her studies. Then she hurt her back and went to see a chiropractor. As the visits passed, she noticed her headaches were decreasing until eventually, they stopped altogether. She also felt more focused, her menstrual periods were less painful, she was sleeping better and had more energy. She truly understood what chiropractic could do for someone’s life and knew she had to spend her career sharing this knowledge with others.
Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Dr. Ana decided to return to her roots after graduating from Sherman College of Chiropractic in South Carolina. Through her internship and work with Dr. Sebastian Bonninn at AlignLife of Guaynabo, she saw the growing need for chiropractic care throughout the communities of Puerto Rico and knew she could help fill that. So together with her husband Dr. Michael Rodriguez, they decided to make a new home and open AlignLife of Fajardo.
Dr. Ana cares for all ages in her practice, but she loves helping elderly patients and also specializes in providing chiropractic care during pregnancy and chiropractic care for kids. She practices the Gonstead Technique because each adjustment helps bring your body to a more balanced, natural state, decrease inflammation, and boost your health overall. No matter what brings you into the clinic, she wants you to feel safe, comfortable, and understood every time you’re there – and leave with a solution or plan to take your health to the next level.
In her free time, Dr. Ana likes to go to the beach with her dogs, family, or friends. She also loves exercising, playing tennis, skating, cooking, and growing plants. If she has a free afternoon, you’ll most likely see her out hiking and discovering new places around Puerto Rico (or grabbing the occasional pasta dish at one of her favorite stops).

Su pasión por la quiropráctica comienza desde la adolescencia cuando sufría de episodios de migrañas semanales, cansada de tomar medicamentos que le aliviaban los síntomas por momentos decidió buscar otras ayudas y así encontrando la quiropráctica que no tan solo la ayudo a su problema principal sino a otros a tener una mejor calidad de vida. Su misión es poder darle un cuidado de excelencia y especifico a cada persona que entre a su oficina y poder educarlos para promover un mejor estilo de vida. Le encanta enfocar su cuidado en mujeres embarazadas y niños para que estos puedan crecer y convertirse en adultos saludables.

Many things cause subluxations, from injuries or falls, and even the body’s reaction to chronic stress or toxins. When left untreated, subluxations prevent the brain from communicating effectively with other parts of the body. This can cause various symptoms and be at the root of many health conditions.
AlignLife’s chiropractic care identifies the subluxations that cause back pain and so much more in today’s society, it’s common to wait until physical symptoms appear before seeking the care of a health professional. And once help is sought, traditional treatment often addresses those physical symptoms only. AlignLife’s wellness-based chiropractors treat the cause of symptoms—in many cases, spinal subluxations—without medicine or surgery.
By keeping the spine in proper alignment with regular adjustments, our patients are more resistant to illnesses caused by improper communication between the brain and body. Once the cause of your symptoms is identified, it requires less time and money to correct problems.
Our patients find lasting relief from ailments such as chronic pain, fatigue, insomnia, carpal tunnel, migraine headaches, ADHD symptoms, slow metabolism and so much more.
Imagine trying to listen to an improperly tuned radio station. That’s what it’s like for your brain to communicate with your body with the interference of subluxations. Our chiropractors remove those subluxations, leaving you properly aligned and subluxation-free, so your body can function optimally. LEARN MORE >

AlignLife Centers are the most advanced chiropractic centers available because we do comprehensive objective testing, from x-ray, to body composition testing, to laboratory analysis. The reason we do these tests is because we refuse to guess about your health. The x-rays help us to pinpoint the problem areas in your spine and it tells us if you have any advanced decay in your spine which will alter the programs that we provide you. We do body composition testing because almost 70% of Americans are either overweight or obese and we have programs to assist in improving body composition. We provide laboratory testing because most patients are chronically inflamed and have immune dysfunction. We feel it is important to understand the entire picture of your health so we can make chiropractic, nutrition, and lifestyle recommendations to get you to reach your goals faster and more cost effectively.
