Doctor of Chiropractic Matt Berman’s abilities have made him somewhat of a celebrity, if his clientele is any indication. In addition to the clients at his private practice—Berman Chiropractic & Wellness—Dr. Berman has performed chiropractic therapies for celebrities including musicians, athletes, and dancers. And despite his precise expertise, his office doesn’t have a clinical feel. A stone wall and relaxed ambiance reminds visitors more of a spa than a doctor’s office.

But Dr. Berman does know a thing or two about clinical settings; he began his medical career working in a hospital, where he observed that patients sustained themselves with long-term medication, too-frequent surgeries, or sugarcoated multivitamins. By contrast, when he began working in a chiropractic office, he recalls that “people were getting better without the use of drugs or surgery.” Inspired by his initial brush with chiropractic, he now combines holistic health services such as massage therapy and spinal decompression. Dr. Berman, along with Dr. Craig Connor, are members of Professional Sports Care, a chiropractic sports medicine organization that provides services to tour players and professional golf programs.
