Dr. DaPonte originally started working as an Air Conditioning Supplier on Pleasant Hill Road , but after he suffered a serious back injury on the job, he was unable to work without chronic back pain. This continued for months. "I was starting to get desperate for answers, and was feeling totally out of control. As much as I had always had a cautious reluctance to taking pills, I was already popping Aleve like peanuts, barely getting by."
Luckily for Dennis he had a cousin who was going to Chiropractic School in Atlanta, GA. "We talked on the phone and he gave me a basic understanding of how Chiropractic Physicians address musculoskeletal issues and he explained how my injury had very likely altered the structure and alignment of my spine. He said, if there indeed was a structural problem with my body, then chemical solutions would only ever treat the effect and would never get completely down to the cause of my pain." He was convinced that he needed to see a Chiropractor. His decision to visit that Chiropractor, ended up not only dramatically improving the quality of his life, but it put him on a path that in time would redefine the purpose of it.
To prepare for his career, Dr. DaPonte earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in Marietta, GA. Even though he has been practicing for over 11 years, he remains passionate about furthering his knowledge and expertise. He is member of the following professional organizations:

He has called called Harrisonburg his home since his freshman year at Broadway High School in the early 90's.
