Dr. Eric Damato first became a chiropractic patient in 1990. As a teenager, he sustained a spinal injury while wrestling. Chiropractic allowed him to recover fully and return to sports. Dr. Damato continued to play three sports a year, crediting chiropractic as a large part of his success. After suffering a shoulder injury senior year during the state high school wrestling championship, it was his chiropractor whom came down out of the stands to correct the injury. After being able to return to competition and advancing to the New England wrestling tournament that he knew it was his calling to become a Doctor of Chiropractic.
