At Shealer Chiropractic, P.C. of Penn Hills, we take great pride in providing the finest Chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different Chiropractic services offered in our Pittsburgh chiropractic office, but please call us at 412-823-5710 if you have any questions!
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Brent Shealer has years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness.
Corrective Exercises
At Shealer Chiropractic, P.C. of Monroeville, we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced chiropractor will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.
Lifestyle Advice
Many of our patients come to see our chiropractor to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While our chiropractor will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.
Rocktape Kinesiology Taping
Rocktape Kinesiology TapingAt Shealer Chiropractic, P.C. of Monroeville and Penn Hills, Dr. Brent is a Rocktape FMT Level 1 practitioner. When applied properly, Rocktape lifts the skin away from the muscle, which promotes blood flow. Faster blood flow means more oxygen and more lymph drainage away from injured tissues, which helps remove Lactic Acid in inflammation and thus promote faster healing. It’s great for all levels of athletes at all ages. Rocktape provides greater support and faster healing both during and after athletic events. It can also be used generally to treat various “non-athletic” everyday sprains and strains.
Nutritional Counseling
What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their body, and as part of that goal we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by our experienced chiropractic health professionals can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? At our Pittsburgh chiropractic clinic, we can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is based on their individual needs.
Spinal & Postural Screenings

Posture and spinal screenings by a trained and experienced chiropractor such as Brent Shealer of Pittsburgh can help reveal important health information, unlocking the door to improved health and well-being. In order to help the Pittsburgh community, we provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment.
