Christopher Berard

Chiropractor

Berard Family Chiropractic strives to give our patients the best Chiropractic experience possible. Our low force, highly specific, gentle chiropractic adjustments are performed with each individual patient in mind. Great attention goes into the initial examination including several important objective measurements which give us a very clear picture as to what level your body is functioning at, not just how you are feeling. The results from the exam help Dr. Chris Berard create a very specific course of treatment that will put you in the best position to have great results. We work with newborns all the way up to centenarians. We are very proficient at adjusting extremities, especially shoulders and knees. Dr. Chris adjusts many top athletes including professional players, a former Olympic athlete, as well as one of Hollywood’s top stunt woman. Please visit the testimonial section of our website.

Yours in HEALTH,

-Dr. Chris

Established in 2008.

Dr. Chris started his practice in Methuen, Ma., after working as an associate for 5 years in another successful practice, working with his uncle. Dr. Chris wanted to bring his adjusting skills closer to the hometown he grew up in, and found the perfect location along the banks of the Merrimack River. When people ask where we are located, we tell them we are 1/4 mile past Jay Gees IceCream going towards Lowell. It seems that everyone knows where Jay Gees is!

We pride ourselves on having the ability to use many different techniques in our office to suit the needs of each individual. Some of our techniques are Pettibon, Thompson, Activator, Neuromechanical Impulse, Arthrostim, Toggle Recoil, Cox Flexion/Distraction and Full Spine Diversified.

Pettibon technique is focused on rehabilitation and stability of the spine, including Neuromechanical re-education. These modalities help to limit degeneration and ultimately restore the normal curves in the spine, therefore reducing stress on the nerve system and vertebral bones and discs.

Infant Care: crying

My 4 week old daughter was constantly crying. For the entire 4 weeks of her life, we could not put her down without her crying, and she cried for more than half the time we were holding her. When she cried, it was a painful cry. We did not know if she had gas, acid...
