Meet Dr. Dan, PRS Chiropractor
Dr. Dan is a nationally recognized Pierce Results System Chiropractor who practices in the North Hills of Pittsburgh, PA. He has been serving the community for over a decade and loves to help individuals and families get healthy and stay healthy through specific and effective chiropractic care.
Dr. Daniel Turo, DC journey into the field of health began at a young age, marked by his determination to overcome asthma through active participation in organized school sports like football, basketball, and track and field. Reflecting on his childhood, he acknowledges the prevalence of chronic ear infections, asthma, and allergies – conditions he now recognizes as deviations from true health. Although these may be considered “normal” for children in our country, Dr. Dan will tell you after his years of working with children in his office, that they don’t have to be!
Dr. Dan had the opportunity to enroll in an anatomy and physiology course at North Allegheny High School which illuminated his pursuit of a career in health care. He completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology (the study of movement) at The Pennsylvania State University and graduated Cum Laude in Fall 2006. He found his true calling while researching and touring the Life University campus and their College of Chiropractic located in Marietta, GA.
Music to his ears, he attentively listened to the philosophical teachings that all life is innately intelligent and that each of us is born to be healthy provided that there is no interference to the nervous system, the primary communicator and coordinator of the body. He excelled through the program and graduated Magna Cum Laude in March of 2011. He reaffirms each day that chiropractic is the best avenue for which he can serve his community and all of humanity.
Driven by a passion for patient education, Dr. Dan authored a comprehensive book that explores topics such as innate intelligence, self-healing, and the role of chiropractic care in achieving optimal health. This book serves as a valuable resource for new patients and is also used extensively as a community outreach tool. By distributing copies widely, Dr. Daniel Turo, DC aims to empower community members with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their health.
His love for teaching does not stop there! Dr. Dan is the president of the Pierce Results System Foundation. He volunteers his time teaching Basic and Advanced continuing education seminars for students and doctors all over the country. His goal is to help the organization reach the next generation of chiropractors and beyond!
During his journey, Dr. Dan married his high school sweetheart Erin who now runs their office. The Turos have three rambunctious children – Ethan, Sammy and Joanna – and round out their family with Benson (their rescue dog) and Raxy (Ethan’s Bearded Dragon).
Dr. Dan is ecstatic to be back in the North Hills of Pittsburgh serving his community through speaking engagements, health care classes, volunteering and of course… adjusting spines one day at a time!
Meet Angela Turo, Functional Training Specialist
From a young age, Angela has loved being active and working with people! Always involved in sports and fascinated by the sciences in school, she pursued her undergraduate degree at Penn State in Biobehavioral Health, which focused on the integration of biology, psychology, and sociology for a truly holistic approach to health and wellness.
She then pursued her master’s degree in Wellness and Human Performance from the University of Pittsburgh, learning how to use diet and exercise to do everything from help optimize athletic performance to manage chronic disease. Her true passion lies in working with people of all ages and physical abilities to help them live their healthiest life!
Angela’s knowledge and skills are deepened by her own personal struggle to achieve her optimal healthy lifestyle and the discovery of exercise as a true medicine in her life.
Angela struggled with chronic pain through her late teens and twenties which greatly limited her ability to be active. She was told by her doctor she would just need to “get used to it,” which was incredibly demoralizing at such a young age. But instead of accepting this fate, she found the right health professionals and was finally able to address the underlying root of the problem and slowly regain her physical strength.
With the ability to exercise again, her stress and anxiety melted away, and she felt an unbelievable transformation physically, mentally, and emotionally. Exercise has brought her pure joy, empowerment, and a sense of identity when it comes to her health.
This rediscovered passion for exercise led Angela to become an ACE-certified Personal Trainer. Since 2020, she has obtained specialties in Functional Training and Senior Fitness. Functional Training involves moving the body the way it was designed to improve strength, balance, and mobility.
Functional movements are imperative for all ages from teen athletes looking to prevent injuries, parents trying to keep up with children, to the aging population looking to maintain their independence. By becoming a Senior Fitness Specialist, Angela is able to apply the principals of functional movement to older individuals in a safe and controlled manner to meet their specific needs.
We all have our own unique barriers in life that are preventing us from making healthy choices. There is no one-size-fits-all exercise plan, because we are not the same! Angela’s mission is to help guide her clients in overcoming barriers and provide accountability to reach their health and fitness goals.
Angela truly has found her passion in personal training and watching her clients transform their lives through the power of exercise! If you fear the gym, lack motivation to exercise, have a specific health concern, or simply don’t know where to start, personal training could be right for you! Angela can design a program to address your specific needs and help guide you through process.
Angela feels honored to be a member of the Turo Family Chiropractic team and looks forward to helping our community get healthy and stay healthy for life!
