Dr. Chris Crawford
Dr. Chris Crawford is a chiropractic physician dedicated to helping patients recover from injuries, improve mobility, and maintain an active lifestyle. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Montevallo before earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida.
His interest in chiropractic began early in life, when he received chiropractic care as a young boy. The positive impact of that experience sparked his curiosity about the profession and ultimately inspired him to pursue a career helping others improve their health and physical function.
During his studies at Palmer, Dr. Crawford developed his approach to individualized care while learning a variety of chiropractic techniques. He also discovered his love for Florida and chose to make the Sunshine State his permanent home.
Today, Dr. Crawford serves the St. Petersburg community at North Shore Chiropractic Centers, with a focus on personalized treatment, including care for patients recovering from auto accident injuries. He works with patients to understand their symptoms, limitations, and goals, helping them reduce discomfort, restore mobility, and return to their daily activities.
Dr. Crawford believes that effective care starts with listening and clear communication. He takes time to help patients understand their condition and treatment options so they can make informed decisions about their care. His goal is to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard, supported, and confident in their recovery.
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.”
