As a chiropractor, Dr. Alex Tauberg of The Pittsburgh Chiropractor has had a lot of training in treating spine related disorders. In addition to all the training he received during his doctoral program he is also enrolled in The University of Pittsburgh’s Primary Spine Practitioner program. All of this training has made Dr. Tauberg a spine specialist.

PITTSBURGH SPINE SPECIALIST

What does Dr. Tauberg do as a Spine Specialist?

At The Pittsburgh Chiropractor we help patients to get out of pain and back to living their lives as quickly as possible. Dr. Tauberg does this by performing a comprehensive history and examination that allows him to determine the source of your neck pain or low back pain. He then uses conservative therapies to help you get out of pain and then learn how to keep the pain from continually coming back.

WHAT CAN A SPINE SPECIALIST DO FOR ME?

If you are someone with a spine-related disorder such as neck pain, low back pain, or headaches then Dr. Tauberg can help you relieve your pain. By using conservative care Dr. Tauberg is able to help people with neck pain, back pain and headaches get out of pain and back to living their lives. Studies and current guidelines have clearly shown that the first option for patients with neck pain, back pain, and headaches should be conservative care. Conservative care is often successful at reducing and alleviating pain as well as restoring function. At The Pittsburgh Chiropractor we often help get people out of pain using manual therapies and spinal manipulation. Then through the use of therapeutic exercises, we help restore the function your body has lost which helps you stay out of pain. By teaching you the exercises we use to do this we empower you to be able to control your pain, on your own and stay functional. Patient empowerment is a vital component of care at The Pittsburgh Chiropractor. While Dr. Tauberg wants to help you get better, he believes the best way to do this is by teaching you to be self-reliant. You should not have to keep coming back to our office for months on end. Instead, we will get you out of pain, help you restore function, and teach you strategies to stay free of pain and functional.
