Rod Manadero graduated from Life University in 2002. Prior to studying at Life Chiropractic University in Marietta, Georgia, he attended Old Dominion University, in Norfolk, Virginia. He has been practicing for over 19 years. He has been in his current location for almost 14 years. Since he began practicing chiropractic, he has kept up to date on many continuing educational classes, ensuring that his patients receive the most comprehensive and advanced chiropractic care.

He has always been active, and his favorite sports include surfing, stand up paddle-boarding (SUP), mountain biking, backpack camping, golfing, and tennis; of which his favorite will always remain surfing. Lately though he has been kept busy with his young family of two daughters, and his young son. He is also an avid traveler, with a wanderer's spirit, and he enjoys traveling as often as he can manage, usually with the whole family, preferably to a surfing location. It does not hurt for his wife to be from a world famous surfing location, Cape Town (Jeffrey's Bay, South Africa).

He is a Christ Follower, who attends a non-denominational church in Yorktown, and he believes prayer and belief in God is central to our healing and well-being. He does pray for his patients' health and rehabilitation. He has seen many patients recover and increase their abilities remarkably since entering his care.
