New York Chiropractic College (NYCC) graduate Frank J. Nicchi (D.C. '78) joined the College's faculty in 1980. Rising to the rank of professor of chiropractic clinical sciences, he taught clinical orthopedics and neurology, differential diagnosis, and chiropractic technique.
Nicchi served as clinician at the College's outpatient health center in Levittown, N.Y., and lectured extensively on topics such as management of low back pain, headache, and risk management for the NYCC Postgraduate and Continuing Education Department, where he was subsequently named dean in 1997.

In addition to his work at the College, Nicchi has also made significant contributions to the chiropractic profession.
