Dr. Chris Crawford
Dr. Chris Crawford is passionate about providing chiropractic care and sharing his vision of better healthcare with the St. Petersburg community.
His journey into chiropractic began when he was a young boy receiving chiropractic care himself. After experiencing remarkable results, he became fascinated with the profession and discovered that chiropractic care was about more than just relieving pain. He learned about the relationship between spinal health, the nervous system, and the body’s ability to function at its best. These early experiences inspired him to pursue a career in chiropractic and dedicate his life to helping others achieve better health and well-being.
Dr. Crawford earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Montevallo before continuing his postgraduate education at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida. During his time at Palmer, he developed a deep appreciation for the principles and philosophy of chiropractic while learning a variety of innovative techniques designed to provide safe, effective, and comfortable care.
It was also during his studies that Dr. Crawford discovered the beauty of the Sunshine State and decided to make Florida his permanent home. His dedication to chiropractic extends beyond his local community, reflecting his belief in making a positive impact on the health and well-being of people around the world.
Today, Dr. Crawford is proud to serve individuals and families throughout the St. Petersburg community at North Shore Chiropractic. His mission is to educate, inspire, and empower patients to make informed decisions about their health and the health of their loved ones.
He believes that every patient deserves personalized care tailored to their unique needs and health goals. Through a patient-centered approach, Dr. Crawford strives to help individuals improve their mobility, reduce discomfort, and achieve their highest potential for physical health and function.
Dr. Crawford welcomes patients and families to experience the comfortable, friendly environment at North Shore Chiropractic, where his goal is to help each individual begin their journey toward better health.
His vision is simple: to make a lasting difference in the health of the St. Petersburg community, one patient and one family at a time.
Dr. Joseph Rocco
Dr. Joseph Rocco is a Board Certified Chiropractic Physician with a strong academic background and a passion for helping patients recover from injuries and improve their quality of life. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, he graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst before earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2013.
Before entering chiropractic practice, Dr. Rocco served as a professor of Anatomy and Physiology at Daytona State College and volunteered with Volusia County Veterans Services. He is a member of the Florida Chiropractic Association and the Florida Chiropractic Society.
His commitment to chiropractic care is rooted in personal experience. After sustaining a motor vehicle injury early in life, Dr. Rocco experienced firsthand the impact an injury can have and the potential benefits of chiropractic treatment.
Today, Dr. Rocco focuses on individualized patient care, including auto accident injury rehabilitation and treatment tailored to each patient’s specific needs. His approach incorporates appropriate chiropractic techniques and therapeutic modalities, along with exercise and wellness guidance, to help patients manage pain, restore mobility, and return to their daily activities.
At North Shore Chiropractic Centers, Dr. Rocco believes that effective care begins with understanding each patient’s unique condition and goals. His mission is to provide personalized, patient-focused care that supports recovery, function, and long-term well-being.
“Having been through a serious accident myself, I know what's at stake. I treat every patient like I would want to be treated.”
