Neck Pain Relief in Pittsburgh
How to eliminate nagging or debilitating neck pain so you can get back to doing the activities you enjoy.
A Message From Dr. Alex Tauberg, Owner & Founder of The Pittsburgh Chiropractor
❓ Are you worried about neck pain and 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 your active lifestyle and 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 neck 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 About Neck Pain
✅ Resting it doesn’t change anything. You might get small temporary relief, but when you get active again you’ll still be suffering from neck pain and stiffness (I bet you’ve already experienced it!)
✅ It’s not normal to get neck pain and stiffness as you get older.
✅ Pain pills can be addicting and dangerous, and can cause 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 and athletes in Pittsburgh recover from neck pain so they can return to workouts, sports, and playing with their kids through one-on-one personalized care.
Why Neck Pain Can Be So Confusing
You may hear advice from family, coworkers, YouTube “experts,” or even doctors — stretch more, try yoga, go to physical therapy, take medication, or wait it out. With so many opinions, it becomes overwhelming.
Many people delay taking action for weeks, months, or even years because they are unsure what the right step is.
Choosing the Right Provider Matters
If you choose incorrectly, you could end up with unnecessary surgery or long-term dependence on medication. The least invasive, most natural approach is often the smartest first step.
The key is not just treating the pain, but identifying why it started in the first place. That is how you create a long-term solution.
Our 3-Step Neck Pain Recovery Process
Step 1: We Listen to Your Story
Most medical visits feel rushed. We prioritize giving you time to explain what is happening and how it affects your life.
Every case of neck pain is different. We take time to understand your body, your history, and your goals.
Step 2: Identify the Root Cause
Temporary relief strategies do not address the underlying cause. Our goal at The Pittsburgh Chiropractor is to determine exactly why your neck pain started so it not only improves but stays away.
Not sure if chiropractic care is right for you? We offer a complimentary discovery visit. During this visit you will learn what is wrong, how long recovery will take, and whether we can help naturally.
Step 3: Fix the Problem and Prevent Recurrence
We create a personalized plan so you can:
💪 Return to exercise without fear of neck pain and stiffness coming back
👨👩👧 Be able to play with your kids again and keep up with your lifestyle
🏃 Get back to your workouts and return to your favorite sports
🏆 Resume your pre-injury lifestyle you love
Our best patients are motivated individuals ready to take control of their health.
You do not have to give up the activities you love because of neck pain.
Sincerely,
Dr. Alex Tauberg
