A native Californian, Dr. Timothy Angelo entered into the chiropractic health care field because of his driven desire to provide the most advanced and effective natural health care.  Dr. Angelo’s passion for advanced, natural healthcare led him to open NorCal Spine & Sport in 2006 with the mission of delivering attentive, one-on-one care that combines the best in soft tissue treatment and physical reconditioning. 

Dr. Angelo earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science (Kinesiology) from the University of California, Davis, in 2002. Before completing his undergraduate studies, he worked for over three years in physical therapy and athletic training, gaining early exposure to rehabilitation techniques he now incorporates into his practice. He completed his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic West in 2005 and interned at Champion Chiropractic Clinic, where he worked with elite athletes across various sports, including triathletes, bodybuilders, runners, MMA fighters, and Olympic competitors.

Dr. Angelo has completed extensive post-doctoral training in sports rehabilitation and soft tissue therapies. He became Full-Body Certified in Active Release Techniques® (ART®) in 2005 and was the first chiropractor in El Dorado County to offer ART, a patented soft tissue management system that addresses injuries involving muscles, tendons, fascia, and nerves. In 2005, he also earned certification as a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP), giving him advanced skills in diagnosing and treating issues involving the TMJ, shoulders, ribs, arms, legs, gait, and orthotic needs.

In 2006, Dr. Angelo became Level 3 Certified in Graston Technique® and FAKTR, mastering the use of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to treat chronic inflammation and fibrosis. In 2014, he expanded his ART credentials to include Long Tract Nerve Entrapment, enabling him to treat nerve-related symptoms such as tingling or numbness by gliding entrapped nerves through surrounding tissues. That same year, he became TPI Certified through the Titleist Performance Institute, learning how to assess and enhance golf performance by addressing body mechanics during the swing.

A Certified RockTape Doctor since 2015, Dr. Angelo uses fascial movement taping to reduce pain and support healing during the rehabilitation phase. His integrated, functional approach to care has made him a sought-after provider for athletes across Northern California, particularly in endurance and extreme sports.

Dr. Angelo volunteers as a team doctor for multiple athletic programs, including local high schools and colleges as well as numerous running teams, and works directly with the UFC. He frequently provides on-site care at local events, including running events, triathlons, CrossFit competitions, and youth sporting events. His community-focused mindset extends beyond the clinic, as he volunteers with youth sports teams and charitable organizations throughout the El Dorado and Sacramento regions.

An avid athlete himself, Dr. Angelo enjoys surfing, soccer, running, skiing, and golf. He lives his philosophy of active living and conveys this passion through his patient care and commitment to optimal performance.
