About Doctor V Chiropractic Center

After graduation from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1992, Dr. Robert Vano founded two high-volume practices. The first in Harmony, PA was sold in 1997. The second in Richmond, VA and was sold in 2000. Both were among the largest practices in each area at that time.

He relates his success to three things - passion, integrity, and sincerity. "I am passionate about what I do as a chiropractor.", relates Vano. He continued, "And I learned a long time ago, that doing everything with the highest level of integrity and sincerity are what I'll base my practices on." Vano reports he sleeps good at night knowing he did his best that day to share chiropractic with the practice members who trust in him.

2 % of the benefit is straight ahead into a dead-end.  The other 98% of the benefits can only happen by going a different direction. The choice is yours.

When asked why "Doctor V"? "Has a nice little ring to it, doesn't it?", replies Vano. "Just kidding.", and continues, "That's what most of my practice members started to call me." When I decided to open another office, I called upon my former sign guy, Ed, from Harmony, PA and explained that I wanted something more "hip". He, himself always called me Doctor V. So, we put our heads together and settled on our current Doctor V logo, making it into our sign.

The Other 98%

The practice philosophy at Doctor V's is what sets us apart from other chiropractic offices. While most doctors are "stuck" in the traditional medical model of care, Doctor V is progressive. The practice philosophy at Doctor V focuses on YOU becoming A Better You(TM). "There's no way on this earth for you to be as healthy as you could be if you have subluxations in your spine.", states Dr. Vano. He continues, "What most people don't know is when they use chiropractic for back and neck aches, they're missing out on 98% of the benefits chiropractic offers them." Doctor V is all about that other 98%!

We also wanted to make chiropractic care accessible for everyone, "Not just those with big pocket books or the best insurance plans on the market.", reports Doctor V.

At Doctor V, their practice model focuses on making chiropractic care easy and affordable for everyone. "We realize that in today's society, time is of the essence. And with the rising cost of fuel, co-payments, and deductibles, Doctor V states "That's why we make it so easy to get in to have your spine checked - and we keep it affordable."

Setting a New Standard

Something else Doctor V has available to residents of the Pittsburgh area, are affordable maintenance care options. "We see a trend happening - higher co-payments, higher deductibles, restricted coverage - ALL, part of the downside of depending on insurance plans to pay for health enhancement." He continues, "At Doctor V, we're setting a new standard - a standard that will eventually, have to be embraced by most chiropractors across the country - a standard that makes care more affordable for everyone."

Ultimately, it is you, the practice member, who gets to decide how much you want to benefit from chiropractic care. We hope you'll choose to learn more about the other 98% so you can make your investment worth it in the long-run.

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

What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Pittsburgh folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.
