Dr. Braglia grew up in Albany, NY, where he was very active in sports and athletics. He realized he wanted to become a Chiropractor after undergoing chiropractic care himself and seeing the improvement in his health and better performance in sports. Not only was he free from pain, but he had more energy and could move better. Dr. Braglia had always wanted to be in the healthcare field, and after talking with and observing several chiropractors at length, he knew it was right for him. He is committed to helping people get well and realize their full potential, without the use of drugs. He is excited to get started here at Shoreline Family Chiropractic & Wellness and help as many people as possible achieve optimal health through chiropractic.
