Who we are
The Pittsburgh Chiropractor is led by Dr. Alex Tauberg, a dual-trained Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) and Registered Nurse (RN) with advanced training in spine care, sports injuries, rehabilitation, and performance. Our clinic emphasizes conservative, evidence-based care that prioritizes accurate assessment, individualized treatment, and active rehabilitation.
If you have tried rest, random exercises online, quick adjustments, massage, or medication and still do not feel like yourself, you are not alone. Our goal is to help you understand what is driving your symptoms and map out a reasonable path forward that fits your lifestyle and goals.
What sets The Pittsburgh Chiropractor apart
Thorough evaluation first. Many musculoskeletal problems are not just about “tight muscles” or “being out of alignment.” We start with a structured exam to identify the likely driver of your symptoms and determine the most appropriate next step.
Evidence-based care. We aim to blend the best available research with clinician expertise and your preferences. If you want a simple definition of evidence-based practice, the BMJ overview of evidence based medicine is a well-known reference point.
Rehabilitation-first, not passive care forever. We use hands-on care when appropriate, but we are equally focused on progressive rehabilitation so you build long-term resilience and reduce the odds that pain returns.
No pressure. You will not be pushed into endless treatment plans. The goal is measurable progress, clear milestones, and a plan you can actually follow.
Services and areas of focus
Our clinic supports a wide range of spine, joint, and sports-related conditions. Depending on your case, care may include manual therapy, mobility work, progressive strengthening, movement retraining, and clinically appropriate modalities.
