 Dr. John Asks some important questions of interest to Pittsburgh residents - Chiropractor Pittsburgh Dr. John Asks...

How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, Pittsburgh patients find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
