Dr. Mario Rosales
Chiropractor – Palmer College of Chiropractic
Dr. Mario was born in Maquoketa, Iowa but grew up in the Rockford area. He is a second generation chiropractor. While attending Northern Illinois University as an athletic training student, he saw during his clinical rotations the inability to fully give the proper care to his athletes and decided to switch to a biology major so he could attend Palmer College, with his mom being his inspiration of course.
While attending Palmer College, Dr. Mario became a graduate assistant and helped to teach and proctor exams for the rehabilitation and the neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) courses. The constant exposure to these courses and having the responsibility of teaching them, further reinforced Dr. Mario’s knowledge of chiropractic. Dr. Mario enjoyed this so much that he is currently working on his diplomate in International Academy of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine (DIANM).
Dr. Mario is married to his wife Emily. They have 4 kids, Emma, Adin, Reagan, and Owen. When Dr. Mario is not in the clinic, you will find him in the gym or at home spending quality time with the family.
