Meet Nicholas R. Altavilla, DC
A little bit about me — I’m originally from the South Hills and graduated from Baldwin High School. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Mercyhurst University, and later received my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
While at Palmer, I served as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for a youth sports performance program called Athlete U. In addition to that role, I also taught group fitness classes and provided personal training, helping individuals of all ages improve their strength, mobility, and overall wellness.
I’m a passionate and dedicated chiropractor committed to helping my patients achieve optimal health and wellness through evidence-based techniques. I take a personalized, hands-on approach to care, focusing on helping people move better, feel stronger, and prevent future injuries. My goal is to empower each patient with the knowledge and tools they need to take an active role in their long-term well-being.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising, and being outside—whether it's going for a walk, fishing, or playing ball with Mater.
