The Center For Joint & Spine Relief

Dr. McKay (chiropractor) and their tenured support is the reason for 5 stars. They always answer their phones and wait times are reasonable.

The office is “cozy”. It could use a renovation.

I’ve been here twice now as part of a 3x visit Groupon deal, and I cannot adequately express my gratitude toward the hospitality and expertise displayed at the Center for Joint and Spine Relief. I’ve had back pain on and off for years, I’ve been to myriad chiropractors, and I’ve never gotten more than a glorified massage and a slap on the back to send me on my way. I was skeptical about doing this song and dance over again, but Dr. Shawn McKay is so far the ONLY back/spine specialist I’ve ever been to who not only diagnosed why I’ve been in pain, he also gave me helpful tips, stretches, and verifiable data to support his diagnosis. (One of my legs is shorter than the other due to a hip displacement which has been the cause of my pain—no other chiropractor has ever noticed this or thought to mention it to me.)

As for the reviews saying the front desk staff is rude or unhelpful, there must’ve either been a staff turnover at some point or these reviewers have been falling into an alternate reality, because Tanairi and the rest of the CFJSR staff have been nothing but warm and accommodating to me. (I only found out about the Groupon because Tanairi told me!)

TL;DR If you live in the Downtown Jersey City area and you’ve been on the fence about seeking help for you back pain/joint issues/spinal problems, PLEASE do yourself a favor and go here.

Always a great attitude with the staff when I walk in. Everyone is nice and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Dr Shawn Mccay changed my life! My first visit to him he recommended i sleep on a different type of pillow for my neck pain I’ve had for years…. Ever since then i am neck pain free. Seriously such a relief. And the entire staff is so friendly as well! Highly recommend.

I can always use a good crack!! The other day I was messed up bad an today I feel like I can do backflips

Dr. McKay is super thorough and always seems to ask the right questions. I have been to many chiropractors, this guy is good!

The Center for Spine and Joint Relief has been my primary place for chiropractic care for 13 years. The chiropractors here have been taking care of my spine and neck as I have been a sufferer of chronic pain. Dr. Petracco and Dr. McKay are the best! They’re also the nicest people.Their technique in adjusting the spine is superb and every time I left this office after getting adjusted I felt awesome. You hardly have to wait to be seen and getting an appointment is simple and stress free. I’ve also been seen for acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy and all therapies are amazing. I highly recommend The Center for Joint and Spine Relief. This place has been a huge life saver and blessing to me over the years. I actually give it 10 stars!!

I highly recommend The Center for Joint and Spine relief. They are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, well trained, accommodating, and highly recommended. Dr. MCkay is a wonderful doctor and healer. He is highly knowledgeable and is the best chiropractor I've ever had. His adjustments always leave me with a sense of relief and reduction in pain. The acupuncturist is also fantastic and has also helped alleviate a lot of my physical pain. She is well trained and knowledgeable. Betty is absolutely fantastic in every way and is always courteous, kind, and very helpful. I would highly recommend The Center for Joint and Spine Relief and have sent friends here in the past for both chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture treatment.
