Dr. Joe Shuluga recently joined Finn Chiropractic Group as an associate following his graduation from Palmer College of Chiropractic. He joins doctors Shawn Finn and Eric Pasierb and the rest of the staff at the clinic, which has been located in Seven Fields, Pa. for thirteen years.
We recently asked Dr. Shuluga a few questions to get to know him better.
1. Where did you study as an undergraduate and which chiropractic school did you attend?
Dr. S: I earned my B.S. in Biology from Youngstown State University in December 2006. I then attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, graduating cum laude in October 2010.
2. Please tell us about your family and where you grew up.
Dr. S: I grew up in small town called Lowellville OH, which is just outside of Youngstown Oh. My parents are Leida and Joseph Shuluga and I have two siblings Katie Olson and Nicholas Shuluga.
3. Why did you choose to attend Chiropractic school?
Dr. S: My freshman year of high school football I received a neck injury, it just so happened that the team doctor was a local chiropractor and was able to keep me going for the season. I continued care with the same chiropractor throughout high school and college and during my junior year of college I realized that I would love to give the same care that I was receiving for a lifetime.
4. Could you please describe the opportunity that you were given to treat in Vietnam during chiropractic school?
Dr. S: Through Palmer College I participated in a clinic abroad experience to spread and promote the word and touch of chiropractic care. I chose to go to Vietnam, and there I spent 19 days across the Pacific in a foreign land, not knowing the language, treating patients. It was the experience of a lifetime, and something I will never forget. In many cases, I was the first doctor that any of these people had ever seen. I saw it all, and I saw how the benefits of chiropractic care can touch the lives of so many, even if they were only to be seen once. Even through the language barriers, hugs and thanks from patients will never be forgotten.
5. What are your interests and hobbies in your free time?
Dr. S: The Steelers! My family and I have had season tickets for the past 15 years and moving back to the area has giving me the opportunity to get back into spending time with my father and brother.
6. Would you mind explaining how you got hooked on DiBella's subs?
Dr. S: I was told by a patient that DiBella's subs are the best things around, skeptical at first I decided to go. Now a days, anyone can see me in there on a Wednesday at lunch enjoying a good old fashioned turkey sub. I don't know what they put in them down there, but I'm addicted.
