Dr. Joseph Acierno is the Owner of Acierno Family Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Center. His older brother, Dr Anthony Acierno, first exposed Dr. Joe to chiropractic. After sustaining many athletic injuries, compounded by spinal injuries from a motor vehicle accident, Dr. Joe received chiropractic care.  He was so impressed by the non-invasive approach to resolving pain that he switched his educational path from pre-med to chiropractic.

Dr. Joe received his undergraduate credentials at the University of Pittsburgh and Point Park College then received his Doctorate of Chiropractic in 1996 at the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. Among some of his awards, Dr. Joe is proud to be named to the Deans List on several occasions and to be named to the Presidential List for Academic Excellence.  Since graduating, he has been in private practice in the Greater Pittsburgh area and continues to further his education by keeping up with current issues. With Dr. Joe’s 12 year of experience and his brother’s 33 years of experience, the Acierno Family Chiropractic centers have 45 years of chiropractic experience to draw on.

While attending Palmer College, Dr. Joe found a love for sports injury rehabilitation and pediatric chiropractic.  To this day, Dr. Joe has treated athletes of all ages from elementary school through the professional level.  He takes great pride in the fact that the patients he treats often entrust him with the health and well being of their family members and friends, which often include infants and toddlers and sometimes even the family pet.  He enjoys the role of “community doctor” not just community chiropractor.

Dr. Joe has licensure in chiropractic and physical therapies in the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio and is a diplomat of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. He has been a member of the Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association, American Chiropractic Association, International Chiropractic Association and currently also works with the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Dr. Joe, his wife, Kerri, their two children Kelly & John, four Guinea Pigs, fish and Lucky the dog reside in McCandless Township.
