About Us
Meet Dr. Alex Tauberg, DC, RN, CCSP, PSP
Evidence-based spine and sports injury care in Pittsburgh
Being in pain is frustrating. It can change how you work, train, sleep, and enjoy time with your family.
My job is to help you get clarity on what is going on, reduce pain efficiently, and build a plan that helps you return to the activities you love with confidence.
I am Dr. Alex Tauberg, a dual-trained Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) and Registered Nurse (RN).
I am also a Primary Spine Practitioner certified through the University of Pittsburgh,
and a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner (CCSP).
I combine hands-on care with evidence-based rehabilitation to help you get better and stay better.
Credentials that matter when you are dealing with spine pain
Many people are told their only options are to rest, “live with it,” or consider medication, injections, or surgery.
In reality, most musculoskeletal and spine problems deserve a structured evaluation and a conservative plan that matches the person in front of you.
My training is built around being that first-contact provider and helping patients make smart next-step decisions.
- Primary Spine Practitioner (PSP), University of Pittsburgh certification (first-contact spine care)
- Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner (CCSP) (sports-focused conservative care)
- Registered Nurse (RN) with inpatient rehabilitation experience
- Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)
- Emergency Medical Responder (EMR)

What “evidence-based” means at The Pittsburgh Chiropractor
Evidence-based care means we do not guess and we do not chase fads. We combine the best available research with clinical experience and your goals.
That usually includes a mix of hands-on treatment and active rehab, with an emphasis on helping you feel in control of your condition.
Depending on your case, your plan may include:
- Targeted manual therapy when appropriate
- Myofascial release and trigger point therapy
- Rehabilitation exercises and progressive loading
- Education and self-management strategies so you are not dependent on ongoing visits
- Adjunct therapies when clinically appropriate, including shockwave therapy
Conditions commonly treated
- Low back pain and recurring flare-ups
- Sciatica and radiating leg pain
- Neck pain and upper back pain
- Headaches that may be related to neck dysfunction
- Sports injuries and overuse injuries
- Shoulder, hip, and knee pain influenced by movement limitations
- Arm and hand symptoms that can mimic carpal tunnel patterns
Experience with athletes and real-world performance demands
I have served as a team chiropractor for the Pittsburgh Vengeance hockey organization and have provided sports and event coverage in endurance and athletic settings.
That experience shapes how I approach care. We focus on function, return to activity, and building resilience, not just short-term symptom changes.

Pittsburgh roots
