Pittsburgh Chiropractor, Dr. Robert Vano
“I shocked my family and friends when I joined the U.S. Army to pay my way through chiropractic college. Two months after I was honorably discharged, I was on my way to the #1 chiropractic school in the world.”
Discovering The Chiropractic Approach To Health
Dr. Robert Vano was just like any typical 19-year old; not quite certain what he wanted to do in life, but kept an open-mind to new experiences.
While working as a short-order cook at a local Bob Evan's restaurant Dr. Vano met a waitress who told him her boyfriend was a doctor. When asked what kind of doctor, she replied enthusiastically, “a chiropractor!” She realized Dr. Vano's interest and a few days later, he was invited to visit that doctor's office. For about two hours the doctor showed and explained models of the human spine and nerve system. He learned that day, that every system in the body is under the control of the nerve system and when the nerve system is disturbed, the body does not function properly and is unable to maintain a state of optimal health. For the first time in his life, the young Dr. Vano to be, discovered that “our bodies are self-healing and self-regulating; that health comes from within, not from putting things into my body”, explained Dr. Vano.
Growing up, he was exposed to the traditional medical approach to health; to ingest something to make him feel better rather than doing things to keep him better. Discovering the chiropractic approach to health was truly "health" care, unlike the "sickness" care he was used to, Dr. Vano realized he had stumbled onto his career. From that day onward, “becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic was my goal in life." “Someday, I will have my own office - just like this one,” remembers Dr. Vano.
Chiropractic Education
To assist in paying for chiropractic college, Dr. Vano joined the U.S. Army. He enlisted as a combat medic and the GI Bill provided the financial support needed to start chiropractic college. Wanting the best education possible, Dr. Vano chose the founding school of chiropractic; Palmer College of Chiropractic. “I thought if I was going to become a chiropractor, I wanted to graduate from the best school in the world,” smiled Dr. Vano. Fortunately the U.S. Army prepared Dr. Vano for the grueling workload of the course. He remembers days that started at 7 am and did not end until the labs closed at 11 pm. “I remember that experience as if it were yesterday”, he explains.
Family
Dr. Vano married Corinne while in chiropractic college. Six weeks after his graduation from Palmer, Corinne gave birth to their twins, Katlyn and Matthew. Their birthday is Dr. Vano’s favorite day of the year!
Living the Chiropractic Lifestyle
Putting his beliefs into practice, Dr. Vano enjoys doing things that stimulate his mind and body. This involves a routine of exercises, reading self development books, listening to tapes or CDs, and talking and listening to other people every day. Dr. Vano has his spine checked at least once each week and more frequently if he’s under additional stress. “It's easier to stay healthy than it is to regain health.”, says Dr. Vano. He continued, “Besides, my body adapts better to all the things in my life, when I stay well adjusted.”
Invitation For A Complimentary Orientation
“Now that you know me better, I'd like to get to know you. That's why I'm inviting you for a Complimentary Orientation to our office. Why do I offer this, you might ask? Because if it weren't for the time that Dr. Ken Pennell took with me when I was first introduced to chiropractic, I would not have fallen in love with it the way I have. I want you to see and discover for yourself what 100% pure, non-therapeutic, All-American chiropractic is all about. I want you to love chiropractic like I do!
