BIOGRAPHY: GREGORY DECRESCENZO, D.C.

Dr. Gregory DeCrescenzo was introduced to chiropractic at the age of 16 following an injury that he sustained to his lower back while competing in powerlifting. After conventional treatment was ineffective, he sought the care of a local chiropractor. His injuries resolved within two weeks of chiropractic care and rehabilitation. From this period forward, Dr. DeCrescenzo aspired to be a doctor of chiropractic. He maintained a friendship with the chiropractor, who kindly sponsored Dr. DeCrescenzo to compete in Russia for a world powerlifting competition. Dr. DeCrescenzo went on to win several powerlifting competitions, including the title of World’s Strongest Teenager. Dr. DeCresenzo credits his ability to continue in the powerlifting competitions to the chiropractic care he received at the age of 16.
