About us
Pembroke Chiropractic has been helping members of the community just like you since 1992, at the same office on Pembroke Boulevard.
Mark Soccio, D.C., LCP
Dr. Mark
Dr. Mark graduated from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1990 and has practiced in Virginia Beach at the same location since 1992. He received his acupuncture certification from Logan College of Chiropractic in 1998, and in 2003 the Legion of Chiropractic Philosophers degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic.
How he became a chiropractor
Before chiropractic, Dr. Mark was a licensed aircraft mechanic at a small airfield on Long Island, and stocked shelves at a supermarket at night. One night a pallet of bleach came crashing down on him, striking his head, neck and back. By the next morning the pain was unbearable.
His family doctor prescribed medication without examining him, and the specialists after that gave stronger drugs that only masked the symptoms. Then a friend took him to her chiropractor, Dr. Larry Johnson. He felt better quickly, and noticed his allergies improved too, after fifteen years of allergy shots. It changed his life: he quit his jobs and went back to school to become a chiropractor.
