“I tried everything.”
“A few years ago, I developed problems with both of my elbows and my right knee. As a professional violinist and an avid outdoorsy person, this was very devastating to me. I tried everything from acupuncture, massage, stretching, chiropractors, etc. and although these things helped, I never really felt like I was getting much better, until I started going to De Novo and began receiving regular ART sessions. I immediately began to feel a difference and am finally back to living the active life I was living before the injuries happened! I send all my friends to De Novo! Thanks guys!!”

“I came to De Novo Pittsburgh hoping for a miracle.”
“I came to De Novo Pittsburgh Chiropractic and Health hoping for a miracle – that they might actually be able to keep my body healthy and pain free despite the 20 hours of triathlon (swim/bike/run) training that I do each week.  Not an easy task but so far so good!

Originally Dr. Cohen treated my iliotibial band pain with active release therapy (ART).  And once he successfully nursed that injury back to good health, I continued to see him for a chronic hamstring issue that has bothered me for the past six years.  Dr. Cohen has worked diligently on the hamstring and surrounding muscles to the point where I have been able to run pain free, and all without having to alter my training or racing schedule.

Beyond the excellent treatment results I’ve received at De Novo, I’ve truly appreciated working with doctors who understand and care about my success as an athlete.  Their facility is top-notch.  Scheduling appointments is easy and can be done online.  And most importantly, I trust and value the advice and treatment I’ve received at De Novo.  I highly recommend them to any athlete looking to get healthy and stay healthy to compete at their best.”

“I feel ten years younger!”
“My personal experience at De Novo Chiropractic & Health has proven to be one of restored health.  The relief from a non-mobile shoulder and painful neck is a direct result of knowledgeable and caring doctors.  Trust was never an issue due to their open communication policy.  They explained my diagnosis and treatment plan with an invitation to direct any further inquiries to either of them.  When asked about my progress I simply stated, “I feel ten years younger!”.  I plan to schedule any future appointments that require chiropractic treatment exclusively with this office.”

-Terry Piazza

“I thought I might have to give up running.”
“I am a running enthusiast and for the past 5 years, I have been plagued by lower back pain and knee and foot pain from overuse injuries that have severely hampered my running ability.  I have been to orthopedic and sports medicine doctors and had many physical therapy sessions all with limited and short term success.  I was starting to get depressed about my injuries and thinking that this was it, they weren’t going to get any better than this.  I thought I might have to give up running altogether.

“I attended a wellness seminar where I work and heard a presentation from Dr. Klueber and Dr. Cohen about the services they offer at De Novo Chiropractic where they practice ART – Active Release Techniques.  It sounded promising and thought that I would make one last effort to address my constant pain.  I scheduled a consultation and began treatment.  They took the time at the beginning to carefully identify the problem areas and developed a plan from treatment of the injuries, as well as the many surrounding muscles and tissues.  Through their treatment techniques they were able to improve my range of motion, reduce my pain and restore function and flexibility to those areas.

In a little over 2 months they have me back to running consistently but more importantly pain free.  Five months later, I completed a half marathon.  I thought that my running days were over!

I cannot thank Dr. Klueber and Dr. Cohen enough for genuinely caring about my well being, providing excellent care, offering their leadership, enthusiasm and encouragement and for giving me back the sport that I love.”

-Joan Jenkins

“In four visits my leg had loosened up completely.”
“Dr. Cohen and Dr. Klueber have been dubbed my ‘running angles,’ and for good reason.  A month into training for my first half marathon, I began to experience pain in my knee.  My IT band was tightening up to the point that it was affecting my runs and stretching along wasn’t helping.  A good friend directed me to De Novo Chiropractic and within four treatments, my leg had loosened up completely.  During the next several months leading up to the race, I continued to be impressed with their knowledge and professionalism during my weekly maintenance visits.  Thanks to Dr. Cohen and Dr. Klueber, I had a great first half marathon experience and am confident that I’ll be able to tackle my first full 26.2 healthy and smiling.”

“They encourage you to maintain your normal fitness routine.”
“De Novo is a pretty unusual chiropractic office, but also pretty awesome.  Drs. Cohen and Klueber are the only staff in the office — you don’t spend any time sitting in the waiting room, and all the time that you’re in there is spent with the doctors.  All the scheduling and billing stuff is done using a computer-based system.  They are both chiropractors, and are trained in Active Release Techniques as well (this is a kind of soft-tissue work, which is really good for many painful conditions).  They both have full-body certifications in ART, which is nice and not especially common in Pittsburgh.  In terms of insurance, they seem to take a variety of plans.  I’m on UPMC insurance, and the copay or whatever still isn’t too pricey for me (and I’m a graduate students, so I’m not exactly rolling in dough).  I’ve been going to De Novo for a couple weeks now because of knee pain, and Dr. Cohen has really helped out a lot.  A typical treatment session lasts about 15-20 minutes, consisting mostly of ART (although I did get my back cracked once or twice).  Although it’s been really helpful for me, I wouldn’t describe ART as ‘painless’ or ‘pleasant’, so 15 minutes is plenty of time.  The first session last longer than that because they collect a pretty detailed personal history.  They are also interested in your everyday activities, and they give you some exercises/stretches to do at home to help your condition.  Overall, it’s really great because you know how when you go to the doctor or chiropractor or whatever, you spend about an hour there and you only see the doctor for like 15 minutes?  Here you only spend like 20 minutes in the office and you see the doctor the whole time.

The things I’ve liked the most about this place is the extent to which they encourage you to maintain your normal fitness routine — I’ve had previous doctors tell me to not do certain activities that I really enjoy and want to continue to do.  De Novo seems a bit more interested in helping people continue to maintain their goals about fitness, so if you’re trying to recover from a sports-related injury, or if you want to maintain an active lifestyle during treatment for whatever is ailing your, I would definitely recommend them.

Additionally, both of the chiropractors are certified as personal trainers, and they offer personal training and nutritional consultation services.  The Downtown location is convenient to a lot of difference places, too, and the hours are convenient for people who work.”
