At fourteen years old, Dr. Alessandra Colón was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. After doctors gave her a 25 percent chance to live, she underwent advanced chemotherapy and radiation, leading her to remission.

Surviving her greatest struggle powered her love of health and life. “Looking back, it dawned on me that I had gained so much more than growing my hair back,” she says. “Beating cancer had given me the push to become more knowledgeable about the human body, nutrition, and natural prevention of disease.”

After graduating from The University of Arizona with a bachelor’s degree in science, Dr. Colón’s devotion led her to pursue her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Daytona, Florida. At Palmer, she was challenged and instructed by leading professionals in the field and augmented her skill set with proficiencies in sports therapy, rehabilitation, and nutritional guidance.

During her studies, Dr. Colón wanted to both test her abilities further and reach out to a global community. Between 2010 and 2012, she traveled to the Grenadines, the Dominican Republic, and India, offering free chiropractic care to over 4,000 people. Her commitment to promoting optimal health and well-being has been integral in freeing people from pain and increasing her patients’ whole-body performance ever since.
