Why is there no staff?
De Novo Pittsburgh is premised upon the traditional values of the doctor patient relationship. Most chiropractic practices stay financially viable by seeing as many patients as possible. This is accomplished by employing many people to assist the physician in treatment and office workload. Typical chiropractic visits allow 1-4 minutes of actual physician time per visit with the rest of the time being spent with other personel.

De Novo Pittsburgh is a practice designed to enhance the doctor-patient relationship by providing personalized, hands on, accessible health care. By utilizing readily available technologies such as the internet and electronic health records (EHR) De Novo is able to simplify the office tasks allowing for more time for patient care.

Is chiropractic treatment safe?
In general, chiropractic treatments carry a very low risk of complication. Patients may experience short-term [24 - 48 hours] local soreness following the initial adjustment. The risk of serious, irreversible complication is rare. It is important that you discuss any specific concerns with your treating chiropractor prior to receiving treatment.
