Chiropractic Care in Marietta
As a chiropractor, Dr. Berner believes in the power of the body to heal itself. He explains to patients that chiropractic treats misalignments in the spine. These may be caused by accidents or injuries that tear loose the connective tissue which holds the spine together.
Once weakened, the spine begins to lock down into a stress position. You can still move and do things, but the stress remains. Some signs you might notice include one leg longer than the other; one hip higher when standing; slight twisting of the body; leaning to one side; unbalanced muscles; or abnormal movement.
In time, the gradual wear and tear breaks down the spine, leading to arthritis. Chiropractors find the misalignment, correct it, and bring the body back into balance.
Gentle Care for a Special Area

Using upper cervical care, we’ve helped patients with the following:
