Dr. Ruocco has developed a community awareness program that connected with senior living populations and those with quality of life issues called “Live Well America.” He donates this program to his local community. “Since starting chiropractic care, the pain in my shoulders is not a severe and the stiffness and spasms in my neck are gone. I also noticed that my whole body is not so rigid and I am sleeping much better. It has been 3-4 weeks since I began care with Dr. Ruocco and my life has changed because I am able to do the things that I was not able to do when I had the excruciating pain.” “If someone wants to come in for simple chiropractic treatment that is fine.

That answer came through chiropractic help. “It was our last resort but we thank God we tried it,” said Dr. Ruocco. “His success inspired me to become a chiropractor. “Today, my dad is vibrant and enjoying a healthy life free from pills.” Little did Dr. Ruocco know that his future wife, Melissa, would become a patient. Years of menstrual “I was giving up and beginning to accept the pain and suffering as a way of life.
