Angelo P. Ippolito, D.C. owner of L.I.C. Chiropractic

I'm Dr. Angelo Ippolito and I've practiced Chiropractic for 20 years. Undergraduate training was at Yale University (1978-82) majoring in Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry. Professional training at New York Chiropractic College (1988-91). I currently practice in Long Island City, Queens, NY where I reside, as well, with my 2 children.

Specialties

I'm an evidence-based Chiropractor with a focus on chronic back pain. My approach is biomechanical and biochemical integrating spinal manipulation and Paleo lifestyle (nutrition, exercise, ergonomics). I will add supplements (vitamin D, magnesium, probiotics, etc.) when needed. Additional problems for which I find solutions include neck pain, headaches, myofascial pain syndrome, fatigue, and body composition disorder (my own term, too much unhealthy fat and not enough healthy skeletal muscle.)

Background

I have been "Paleo" minded for the past 10 years. Embracing a Paleo lifestyle has transformed my body and has enabled optimal health for me. At 51 years I am in better health and more fit than at 31...I walk my talk. Many people compare me to my hero, Jack LaLanne (I was very happy to see Jack mentioned in the "Paleo Answer.") I teach my patients and members of the Community what Paleo is and isn't . I also educate people about exercise compatible with our genome which is basically being regularly active with occasional bursts of intensity. I've created an entire body workout with resistance bands that satisfies the paleo-intensity factor. All my Paleo knowledge comes from the work of Dr. Cordain particularly the pdfs of the published articles retrieved from the Paleo Diet newsletter.
