Rio de Janeiro

The location for the event is both rich in culture as well as history, making it a great place for chiropractors from all over the world to congregate. Rio de Janeiro is one of the most beautiful locations in the world. The average daily temperature in the month of April ranges between 69 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The city was the Brazilian capital until 1960 - when Brasilia, the current capital, was inaugurated. The city's architectonic traces include luxurious and imposing constructions that sheltered the nobility and other important personages of those times.

Dr. Webb and Associates strives to be on the cutting edge and the practice has consistently remained a front runner in the Pittsburgh region when it comes to new techniques and treatments.
