At Align Family Chiropractic and Wellness, our team is dedicated to providing the highest quality chiropractic care in a warm, welcoming environment. We believe every patient deserves personalized attention and care designed to relieve pain, restore movement and improve health.
For nearly 50 years, this practice was led by Dr. Anthony Panzica, who cared for generations of families in the Paramus community. Today, a former associate and now new owner, Dr. Olga Alvarez proudly continues his legacy, ensuring patients receive the same trusted, compassionate chiropractic care.
Our office is located in a charming Victorian home near Routes 4 and 17 in Paramus, NJ. If you’ve visited one of the Paramus malls, you’ve probably passed by our office! Parking is convenient and accessible from Maple Avenue.

My purpose is to serve my community with quality family chiropractic care. I believe open communication between me and my patient is necessary for optimum results. Our office is a friendly, family type of office. My wife, Susan, works in the office with our assistant, Emily.
I enjoy teaching patients about chiropractic and health. It is my belief that informed patients make better choices about their health care. I also give lectures about chiropractic to various groups, as well as chiropractic seminars.
I am a graduate of Palmer Chiropractic College and have been in practice in Paramus over 40 years. I am also a founding member and past president of two NJ state chiropractic organizations and was honored as Chiropractor of the Year.
Because everyone’s spine is not the same, I am trained in a variety of chiropractic techniques including Palmer, Activator, Neuro-mechanical Impulse, Thompson Technique, NRC, and Full Spine Diversified. All the techniques are gentle and specific, allowing me to treat patients of all ages.
We believe the health of a community begins with the health of its families. Our goal is to restore balance in the body, support natural function, and help you live aligned — so you can thrive.
