Because I am a dancer, this injury thoroughly scared me. However, I
put my trust in Dr. Chris and he was able to get me back to normal
quickly. He definitely will always be my “go-t0″ doctor and I would
recommend him to everyone!

In our time we have seen many different Chiropractors, but comparing all of them together, they can not hold a candle to Dr. Chris’ ability to help people. He has a heart that is larger than anyone can imagine and a practice full with caring.

My husband and I are still able to do much of the carpentry and yard work projects that we like, and we are certain that with Dr. Chris’ help we will keep going for a long time.

Thank you Dr. Chris for your caring and help.

Ray & Doris P.

We had been multiple hospitals and have tried two different braces but Joe’s physical health continued to decline under the scoliosis guidelines of modern medicine. A combination of chiropractic plus massage therapy proved to be the only thing that helped.

Dr. Chris devoted a lot of time to understanding and treating Joe for his scoliosis and has also been an unbelieveable friend and advocate. We are truly fortunate to have found Dr. Chris and couldn’t recommend him enough to both individuals with scoliosis and otherwise “healthy” individuals who want to stay that way.

I had taken over 10 courses of antibiotics.

Along with my history of sinusitis, I also experienced a great deal of neck and shoulder blade pain from a previous shoulder injury and daily stress.As of 2010, I have been a patient of Dr. Berard for a year and four months.

I am happy to share that in 2009, I only took two courses of antibiotics to clear up a sinus infection, and drastically reduced the amount of allergy medication that I had always needed in the past.

Furthermore, I have experienced great results with my previous injured shoulder. I have noticed increased flexibility and a reduction in the tightness of my neck and shoulder blades.

After receiving chiropractic care, I am a true believer that it can improve not only your current symptoms, but your overall health.

Above all, I would highly recommend Dr. Berard and chiropractic care if you are experiencing health issues that are not improving.

Lastly, Dr. Berard is dedicated to his profession and makes himself available even beyond his office hours.

We sought chiropractic care from another chiropractor and my son’s sleep improved, but, didn’t last and his behavioral issues did not.

I continued searching for answers.

After an evaluation with occupational therapy and a referral from my massage therapist to Dr. Chris Berard, my son started treatment with occupational therapy in December of 2008 and treatment with Dr. Berard in January 2009.My son was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder and for my son it meant he was afraid of loud noises, small crowded rooms, most people, sensitive to touch, etc. He wouldn’t play with any children and avoided most activities outside our home.

My son’s examination with Dr. Berard showed many areas of irritation along his spine.We began weekly visits 2-3 days per week with Dr. Berard and once weekly visits with occupational therapy. After 8 months of occupational therapy and 8 months of treatment from Dr. Berard my son no longer needs weekly occupational therapy.

He now checks in with his therapist once a month. The irritation in his spine has improved dramatically and we have cut back on our chiropractic visits as well. My husband and I can’t believe the results.

His occupational therapist is amazed with his rapid progress.

He is not the same child we had just a few months ago. He’s playing with friends, leaving the house, is more tolerant of loud noises, etc

We sought the help from three other chiropractors for our son, but, it was Dr. Berard’s restorative style of chiropractic that made the biggest difference.

It’s amazing to see him finally enjoying his life. My husband and I believe that chiropractic played a vital role in our son’s recovery and we will always be appreciative for Dr. Berard’s help.

I had to take a break to ice both sides, then he worked some more.
I left with increasingly more range of motion, and within 30 minutes, I was back to normal.

Dr. Berard had me come back in Sunday evening to check on everything, as I was going on a trip on Monday. Thanks to Dr. Chris. I knew he could do it! I trust him completely.

At that time I saw a well respected Orthopedic Specialist and went to Physical Therapy. Since then I have experienced back pain and sciatica pain on and off.This last “flair up” lasted over two months and I could not get relief from my pain. I went to an Orthopedic Back Specialist and told him “I think I have sciatica problems and it hurts when I sit for long periods”. He examined me took x-rays and said “You probably have sciatica problems, don’t sit for extended periods.” REALLY?!

I took those x-rays to Dr. Chris and he sat with me and showed me exactly where my problems were.

I have Degenerative Osteoarthritis (Where my injury was from the accident, no surprise there) and narrowing in the spaces where nerves pass through my spine. Now I know the reasons for my pain. He took the time to educate me about spine and whole health.

After only three visits I am living pain free.

Last week I could not get comfortable sitting or lying down and yesterday I bicycled 26 miles. I plan on Kayaking and swimming tomorrow. I credit this surprising recovery to Dr. Chris’s treatment. Dr. Chris strikes a perfect balance between personality and professionalism. I will be his life long patient and my husband is going to start treatment soon. Thanks for giving me my health and lifestyle back Dr. Chris!

Of course I had no intention of seeing a chiropractor.

After my fall, my mom convinced me to go in and see one. Considering the pain I was in, I agreed.Dr.Chris was very welcoming, and I wasn’t afraid at all. I saw him adjust my mom and I didn’t have the feeling of wanting to run out of the office screaming!

So, I had a evaluation. My neck was too far forward, my pelvis was shifted, my spine wasn’t what it should of been. Dr. Chris told me that, not all those problems were from my fall.

I was adjusted three times a week for four weeks. Within that time, my back pain went away, my swimming improved greatly!

After four weeks of being adjusted, I dropped eleven seconds on my 100m back stroke. I came second place in my heat at MVC’s and dropped ten seconds from my 100m freestyle. I even came in first place in my heat at MVC’s.
At my re-evaluation, my spine was more in line. Seeing Dr. Chris has made a great improvement in my swimming and the way I feel!

My instincts told me she wasn’t O.K. So, I made contact with Dr. Chris who saw my daughter first thing the next morning.

Within a minute of touching her arm, he discovered that there was a dislocation in her forearm. Dr. Chris Berard promptly corrected it without my daughter even realizing what he was doing.She was actually smiling as he fixed it. Since that visit, my daughter has not complained of any pain.

He is the last person to even consider non-traditional medicine or procedures and your talk made such an impression that it totally changed his mind about pursuing surgical intervention and enabled him to proceed with your care with confidence.

I’m delighted to hear tonight of the good progress that he is making (as is he).

At 66 years of age, I erected scaffolding to a height of 18 feet and replaced most of the windows on my house! Just this project got me banged up and into Dr Chris’ care 4 days a week until I could get around again!I think it’s amazing that I’m still walking! And really, the reason I am is because of Dr Chris Berard’s chiropractic care.

He has saved me time and again when I thought I was ‘done!’ Only when I recovered enough I would just repeat my endeavors at trying to do everything! Why?! Enjoyment, sense of accomplishment…I’m “healed!”But no! And it is, as Dr. Chris, explained…I’m a mess…my spine is ‘loaded’ (my words) and he’s attempting to keep me from getting worse – so that I can enjoy things I love like cycling and swimming(running, we ruled out…too much impact.) Just doing daily things without discomfort or pain (without taking any medications) is just short of a miracle.

Dr. Chris is without a doubt a wonderful, caring doctor who is very concerned about his patient’s well being.

Just visit his office, listen to the videos, read some of the pamphlets and books from his library, listen to what he’s saying and practice his advisories. It goes beyond a chiropractic adjustment.

From the medicines we ‘believe’ we have to take to our own personal health habits of eating properly and physical exercise, there’s a balance there. Each of us needs to find balance and what works best for us. A good mental outlook and physique is not attainable without working at it. Proper nourishment, exercise, sleep and a chiropractic maintenance program is key to good health.

Best wishes to Dr. Chris and his family.

Thank you for putting me into your schedule yesterday at the last minute and adjusting me. I felt immediate relief.The headache left and that sick feeling in my stomach vanished. I was able to keep my appointments because of your quality care. This morning I woke up feeling like myself again!

Dr. Chris has been addressing my TMJ now for about 14 visits. I am happy to say, I have had remarkable results.
I have not had to “work” my jaw open in the morning. There has been substantial and noticeable improvements in getting the jaw re-aligned so it does not veer off to the side so drastically.

Dr. Chris has also been working on my posture and spinal alignment to increase all around results. All these advancements have decreased the face, jaw, neck and overall pain, that I was experiencing on an almost daily basis.

I know we have a ways to go still, since I had such a severe case. I am truly impressed at the strides I have come in such a short time. I highly recommend Berard Family Chiropractic to TMJ sufferers who think they have no place to turn.

Thank you Dr. Chris

Thanks, Cindy

I told her to look at my records since chiropractic care started. My thyroid is normal now, my plantar warts of over 10 years are GONE, the carpal tunnel I was considering surgery for is GONE, my pain in my lower back radiating down my legs is GONE, my fibroid tumors have shrunk considerably and 45lbs are GONE!!!!

Also…. I went shopping with Kelly and bought a sweater for the first time in 21 years that is NOT plus size. Woooooooo Hooooooooo! :) :)

So glad I found you. Happy New Year

When my daughter was born I noticed a few things that didn’t seem
right to me. She was my third child in three years, so I was used to
seeing newborns.

The first thing I noticed was that her head shape was a little off.
She had a flat spot in her front left temple area and a protruding
spot on the back of her head. I was told it was just molding from
birth and that it would get better on its own within 6 weeks or so. I
waited the 6 weeks and was thinking the whole time that it was
actually getting worse.

The second thing I noticed was that she was a bit “floppy” due to poor
muscle tone. Her pediatrician told me that it was due to her young age
and that it would improve on its own.

The last thing I noticed was that she was not rotating her neck the
way I thought she should. She would follow objects with her eyes and
not move head head at the same time. When I would put her on her on
her belly she was not able to raise her head up the way my other
newborns did; and she could not turn her head to the left at all.

When my daughter had her next well checkup I brought up her issues.
The had a second doctor come in to see her. She indeed had an issue,
but this doctor told me to just turn her head (forcefully) to the side
that she did not favor. He said to do this at every diaper change and
she would just learn to look that way. When he showed me how my
daughter screamed; it bothered her greatly.

I just could not forcefully turn my child’s head and make her cry 10
times per day. I thought of it as an adult being pushed into a split
if they are not that limber, very painful.

With no help from the pediatricians, I called Dr. Chris. He said to
bring her right in and he would take a look at her.

He did an adjustment on her, gently, and she didn’t really mind. He
then referred me to another chiropractor, Dr. Peck, due to her head
and facial shape. Dr. Peck had a great deal of experience moving
cranial bones. We saw him for about 4-6 weeks. At first she went 3
times a week, then twice, and then once. Her head and heck were
getting better.

In the beginning of her chiropractic care our pediatrician sent us to
a specialist from Children’s Hospital in Boston. This specialist
treated me like I was an unfit mother for putting my child to sleep on
her side and for bring her to a chiropractor. He was no help at all
and said that at 4 months we could have her fit for a helmet to
re-shape her head.

This helmet would be worn for 23 hours a day and would put pressure on
the areas of her head that protruded too much and have hollowed spaced
for the areas that were flat. Between the pressure and the fact that
her head would be growing, the head would eventually fit the helmet
thus creating a better shape.

This approach seemed very aggressive to me. I did not want my child to
have to wear this helmet. It must be uncomfortable and probably
painful. I only went to see the specialist to make sure there was no
other underlying issue that she may have. Thankfully, there was not.

In addition to her chiropractic care, I had placed a call to the Early
Intervention Program in our state. They evaluated her and she showed
enough of a delay in her head turning, lifting, and issues with her
head shape that she qualified for physical therapy for 6 months.

After seeing Dr. Peck for a while, we were then going back to Dr.
Chris. Her head and neck were so much better and he was able to help
her even more from there.

We continued her chiropractic care for many months. She began physical
therapy and chiropractic when she was 7 weeks old. Her PT ended at age
7.5 months and she did not require any further serviced through Early
Intervention.

She did continue to see Dr. Chris for another 4-5 weeks and her head
looks great.

She has one tiny spot on the front temple area that is ever so
slightly flat, Dr. Chris had said it will only get better, and it
has.

My daughter is now 9 months old, she is happy, healthy, and her head
and neck are as perfect as the next baby’s. She has full rotation of
her neck and she does not look like she ever had an issue to begin
with.

Thank you Dr. Chris!!!

We did not know if she had gas, acid reflux or if she was just in pain. She had a very difficult 30 hour birth, and something just didn’t seem right to me. I had to hold her for 16 hours a day. I asked the doctor if they thought something might be wrong, but their response was “Babies cry”.

I had seen Dr. Chris previously for a back problem, and I thought about bringing her to see him, but I was hesitant at first because she was so young. But, I decided to try
it out, because she was so upset all the time and nothing I was doing was helping. Dr. Chris was very reassuring. He described how the adjustment of an infant is very gentle, and explained everything he was doing.

After the first week, I saw an improvement. She just seemed less stressed than she was the previous 4 weeks. After 3 weeks of adjustments, the results are amazing.

She is a completely different baby. We can put her down for 30 minutes at a time without her crying. Considering 3 weeks ago we had to listen to her scream if we put her down just to grab the mail, this is a huge step. I would recommend Dr. Chris to anyone who is experiencing a similar situation with their infant.
