About the Author

Dr. Robert F. Gucciardo, DC

Gucciardo Specific Chiropractic and Natural Health Center

Dr. Gucciardo was born and raised in Queens, NY. He attended Archbishop Molloy Highschool where he played baseball and then went to Pace University in Pleasantville, New York to continue playing baseball at the Division 1 level and graduated from The Lubin School of Business with a BBA degree. In early childhood he had watched his brother receive chiropractic care from a local chiropractor because he was diagnosed with scoliosis in his early teen years. While receiving care, his brother also had other health benefits that amazed Dr. Gucciardo. Then one day while playing basketball at age 11, Dr. Gucciardo fell and injured his hip and lower back. He was checked out by the same chiropractor his brother was receiving care from. Some adjustments were made and things improved.
