I cannot say enough positive things about The Pittsburgh Chiropractor! I was in chronic pain all the time and just found somewhere local to try. It has honestly been nothing but great. Alex is super friendly and personable. He took the time to explain what was going on and how he would try to help. First visit, he was showing me exercises to do at home, to eventually get me to where I can visit him less - ultimately helping me and saving money too! And most importantly, I feel so much better since I started! Pain level down to a baseline 1 or some days zero. If you are thinking of seeing a chiropractor, I highly recommend starting here!

I went to Dr Tauberg for bi lateral knee pain. I have been having laser treatments once a week. After 4 weeks the pain in both knees is at a zero on the pain scale. So glad I found his practice.

I can't say enough.  Dr Alex is just awesome.   I am.very glad to have chosen The Pittsburgh Chiropractor.  And I say this as a person who grew up with two chiropractors in the family, and having had basically lifelong chiropractic care.   This is a top notch chiropractor.

Dr. Alex has been able to fine tune a treatment plan for my nagging shoulder and neck pain. I injured that area last summer and had significant problems that affected my ability to go thru my day. I treated with PT, had testing and was saw multiple doctors. I did improve to a certain point but never was able to get rid of a spasm, tightness and pain in the shoulder that flared up limiting me. Dr. Alex listened to my issues and provided the reassurance that we could get this managed. His treatment and recommended exercises has given me relief and the ability and confidence to do more of my normal activities for which I’m grateful. I wish I had seen him months earlier!

I have a really bad lower back pain and mid back tightness, Dr. Tauberg helped with that. He accommodated my schedule when I was suffering from a really bad back pain after vacation and was able to see him quickly. He is patient and very knowledgeable.

A Message From Dr. Tauberg, Owner & Founder of The Pittsburgh Chiropractor

❓Are you worried about back pain & stiffness that doesn’t go away no matter how much resting, exercising, or stretching you do? 

❓Are you frustrated that other treatments haven’t worked? 

❓Are you having trouble keeping up with with your active lifestyle and are missing out on your favorite activities?

❓Are you still looking for a long-term solution so you can get back to enjoying your favorite activities?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you are in the right place! 

Many people in Pittsburgh suffer unnecessarily with back pain and stiffness because they’re told…

⚠️ Just “rest it” and it’ll be fine (then months later they’re still suffering…)

⚠️ It’s “normal” with age.

⚠️ If you take some pills everything will be fine.

⚠️ Surgery is the only option. 

⚠️ You need to come in for treatment for the rest of your life.

The truth is:

✅ Resting it doesn’t change anything. You might get a small temporary relief, but then when you get active again you’ll still be suffering from back pain and stiffness (I bet you’ve already experienced it!)

✅ It’s not normal to get back pain and stiffness as you get older! 

✅ Pain pills can be addicting, dangerous, and can cause a lot of other problems with your body.

✅ Surgery is not the only option. It’s just the only option your surgeon can offer you.

✅ You can be taught how to manage your pain on your own. 

At The Pittsburgh Chiropractor, We Specialize In Helping Active Adults & Athletes From Pittsburgh Suffering from Back Pain Quickly Recover So That They Can Get Back To Playing With Their Kids, Living Their Active Lifestyles, & Enjoying Their Favorite Workouts Or Sports Using One On One Personalized Care!

❓ A family member tells you to try stretching or core exercises.

❓ A colleague mentions going to a physical therapy.

❓ The “experts” on YouTube recommend doing a certain exercise.

❓ A friend suggests going to a pilates or yoga.

❓ All while the doctor tells you to take some pills or wait it out.

It’s overwhelming to try to make a decision with all these choices…what will happen if you don’t make the right one? 

Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action.

When It Comes To Solving Something Serious Like Back Pain & Stiffness…

You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up getting dangerous surgery (when it was unnecessary) or being dependent on addicting painkillers the rest of your life. 

Getting the “least-invasive”, most natural treatment is VITAL to you stopping your back pain and stiffness and keeping it from ever coming back. 

To do that, you have to not just treat the pain, but have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY the pain happened in the first place. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems.

At The Pittsburgh Chiropractor we’ve created a 3 step process to get rid of your pain AND make sure it doesn’t come back again. 

Step #1 – I Want To Listen To Your Story

Our medical system is frustrating. You wait weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment, only to get to talk to the doctors for 10 minutes before they have to run to the next patient and you’re left sitting there wondering, “What just happened?”

Even most chiropractor or physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced, and your therapist doesn’t have time to actually touch where you hurt.

This is why my first step is to listen to your story.

After working with lots of people with back pain and stiffness, I know that no two people are alike. Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of pain. 

That is why my first step is to have an open conversation and time for you to tell your story. That way I get a deep understanding of what’s going on not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your life.

Step #2 – Find Out WHY BACK Pain Started

Many people have a diagnosis, or medical term for what’s going on with their body. Maybe their doctor gave it to them, maybe tests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online. 

You could have been told that your only choice was to rest, use ice or heat, take pain meds, or come in for adjustments for the rest of your life. 

Sometimes, those things bring temporary relief, but they’re not addressing what CAUSED the problem in the first place. 

Every person’s cause of back pain and stiffness is different. No one has the exact same problem caused by the exact same thing as another person. 

My goal at Tauberg Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is to find that original cause of your pain, so not only does your back pain go away, it STAYS AWAY! 

I understand that you still might be skeptical or unsure if chiropractic care is right for you. That’s why I offer a free discovery visit. (Yes! That means the first session is ON US!)

My Discovery Visits are meant specifically for those people who are skeptical, unsure, or have even been let down in the past. During the Discovery Visit you’ll find out what’s wrong, how long it’s going to take to fix it, and give you peace of mind that your problem can be fixed naturally! 

Step #3 – Get Rid Of The Pain & Keep It From Coming Back

This is when the big transformations occur. We develop a personalized plan that allows you to…

…Get back to exercising without fear of back pain and stiffness coming back 

…Be able to play with kids, get back to your workouts, return to your favorite sports.

…Get back to your pre-injury lifestyle you love 

Our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to win back their lifestyle. (Even if they feel stuck right now!)

Want to know more about our availability and costs before making any commitment to coming in? 

You don’t have to sacrifice activities you love over problems that can be fixed. 

Sincerely,

Dr. Alex Tauberg
