A Journey Inspired by Recovery
Dr. Mario's path to chiropractic began following a significant shoulder injury that limited his ability to participate in the sports he loved.
During his recovery, he experienced firsthand the benefits of chiropractic care and developed a deep appreciation for the body's ability to heal when supported through movement, rehabilitation, and a holistic approach to health. This personal experience sparked his curiosity about the connection between the body, movement, and overall wellness, ultimately inspiring him to pursue a career where he could help others achieve better health and function.
Dr. Mario went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan University in Chesterfield, Missouri, graduating in 2022. Following graduation, he practiced in the St. Louis area, where he worked with a diverse patient population and gained experience helping individuals of all ages overcome injuries, improve mobility, and reach their health goals.
