About

D.C. Doctor of Chiropractic - New York Chiropractic College, Cum Laude

Dr. Rizzo grew up in Clinton, NY - a small college town outside of Syracuse, before going onto University of Albany where he played rugby and raced slalom and GS. He excelled in chiropractic school, making dean's list in every year and scoring in the 98th percentile on national boards; he was invited to join the Phi Kappa Alpha honor society before graduating with honors in 2009.

Following graduation, he moved to North Carolina where he practiced in multidisciplinary, family practice specializing in spinal pathology and soft tissue injury since 2009. Primary care providers, specialists and other chiropractors referred patients to Dr. Rizzo for whiplash recovery as well as disc and shoulder pathologies. In 2016, Dr. Rizzo was selected as team chiropractor for a professional indoor football team where he was responsible for injury assessment and administering and directing care for the athletes.

Dr. Rizzo is married to Allison and they have three sons: Jack, Ben and Sam. When they found out they would be having Sam in December of 2017, they decided it was time to move from North Carolina and closer to each of their families in upstate NY. They did so in spring of 2017 and they couldn't be happier to be back up north! Outside the office, Dr. Rizzo and his wife lead very active lifestyles; he can be found in the gym 5-6 days/week, he still loves to ski and tries to get on the course as much as he can during the summer.
