I came to meet Dr. Berry (intern Dr. Berry, at this time) in May, 2005 at our local town festival where he had a booth set up describing Chiropractic care. I didn't need much convincing my neck was really messed up. I couldn't turn my head or move my neck in any direction without a lot of pain. After a complete exam at Parker College, He informed me my neck had straightened out. I had lost the (natural) curve in my neck! Dr. Berry took excellent care of me. What I really liked most about him is that he really listened to me and addressed my every concern about my on going treatment thoroughly, professionally, and thoughtfully. No question was to silly. Plus, whenever I had to bring with me any of my three children he always welcomed them. About the same time I met Dr. Berry, I had started seeing another chiropractor who lived across the street from me. I found he was only interested in getting me out of pain which was great at that point, but I interested in addressing the loss of curve and getting to the root of the problem! I found Dr. Berry to be very thorough. He offered me treatment plans and hope for living pain-free for good. I highly recommend Dr. Berry for any chiropractic treatment. |

About Dr. Mark Berry |
My name is Dr. Mark N. Berry. As you'll read, my chiropractic story is not accidental. It is a very personal story of my journey from pain, fear and indecision to ultimate relief, wellness and happiness. In the tenth grade, I played football at St. James High School the fullback and linebacker positions. While playing in the area championship game I blocked someone, just as I had always done in every other game that season. But during that particular play, I had a sharp pain in my neck. I played through it, though, because I was tough. HA HA. Stupid is more like it! At first the pain and discomfort was horrible. I could not sleep on a pillow. I had trouble moving my neck and, even worse, getting myself out of bed was painful. The intense pain went on for weeks. After a few months most of the pain was gone so I tried to participate in spring training drills. One hit and I was in the same amount of pain and discomfort that I experienced in the beginning. It was distressing: I had just begun receiving letters from colleges about their football programs and I couldn't even handle one hit. My father decided to take me to an orthopedic doctor. An MRI found a bulging disk in the cervical region of my spine. I was referred to neurologist who told me that I should try physical therapy and see what happened before we thought about surgery. We asked why the disk was bulging and the doctor told us that it was possible that I was born that way. I knew there wasn't any way I was born with it. My father asked if it was okay to go to a chiropractor. The neurologist said, 'yes.' Initially, I was scared. I thought that it might break my neck. My father told me not to worry, that it would be over before I knew it. The chiropractor (Dr. Jones Montgomery, AL) took X-rays and looked at the MRI and found where the problem was on the film. After the first adjustment I had better movement in my neck and it did not hurt as bad. I had been in so much pain and discomfort--for months. Now, after about ten treatments, I felt no pain and could move my neck normally! This sparked my first interest in chiropractic. While studying at the University of Alabama, I was going back and forth trying to decide whether I should become an oncologist or a chiropractor. At the time, the desire to beat the illness that took my mother away from me was so strong that oncology was in the lead. One class required you to shadow a professional in the field of your choice for 120 hours and journal your daily experiences. I decided first to shadow a chiropractor, Dr. Tidwell (Tuscaloosa, AL). There, I saw things that I never thought chiropractic could help: hemorrhoids, ear infections (in the daughter of a pediatric nurse much less, dizziness, pain, etc. There was even a woman who could not open one eye without the use of her hands. Through the doctor's chiropractic care I saw each of these patients conditions improve or eliminated. I was amazed at the magnitude that an adjustment could have on someone's health regardless of their condition. After that class assignment I was certain, without a doubt that I wanted to be a CHIROPRACTOR! High School:
