Diet

Dr. Berry, your chiropractor, is trained in nutrition and how your diet affects your overall health and well-being. To your chiropractor nutrition comprises more than simply eating three meals a day. The chiropractic profession views nutrition as the materials needed to maintain your health.  This includes the vitamins, minerals, and tissue building quality of what you eat.
