Low Back Pain affects 8 out of 10 Americans. The majority of back pain patients have not experienced any trauma, accidents or major injuries prior to the onset of their problem. The cause of most back pain is the cumulative affect of improper sitting posture, poor work habits, incorrect lifting, lack of proper exercise and other lifestyle-related factors. All of these factors cause stress and imbalances on the spine (subluxation) and eventually cause pain. This is why people often injure their back by just bending over to pick up a piece of paper. The spine was already compromised and just the simple act of bending was enough to set off the problem. When this occurs, the surrounding back muscles go into spasm to protect the stressed or injured tissues of the back.

Dr. Berk's approach is to help restore a more normal motion and position of affected spinal bones using specific chiropractic adjustments. The simplicity and success of this approach has been documented in numerous research projects, the Rand Study and has helped many patients avoid risky surgery.

Dr. Berk can determine whether chiropractic treatment is essential for you, based on the assessment of your initial exam. Once your problem area(s) have been recognized, Dr. Berk will outline a personalized treatment program that fits you.
