The Chiropractic Office of Dr. Gregory Berkoff

Dr. Berkoff Office Reception

A modern approach to chiropractic care at our La Jolla | UTC office.

Each medical office is a bit different and this is especially true of chiropractic practices.  Whether you are a long-time chiropractic patient relocating to the area or someone considering a first visit to a chiropractor you may have certain ideas and expectations about what your experience will be like.

Our doctor believes that most problems can be solved by approaching them patiently, rationally, and scientifically.  We are ‘holistic’ but not in the sense that we dispense potions or dabble in esoteric forms of healing.  Rather, we approach the care of each patient with the understanding that a good doctor-patient relationship is built on many factors including respecting our patients’ time, privacy, needs, expectations, and wallets. Because lifestyle impacts health, we offer evidence-based guidance on a wide range of lifestyle issues including diet, exercise, sleep, and more.  
 




Our chief concern is your well-being.  Some chiropractors promote the the idea of long-term or ‘maintenance’ care, in which patients are encouraged to have routine chiropractic manipulation treatments, ostensibly for the purpose of preventing injuries or illness.  Dr. Berkoff is not one of those chiropractors; he believes that ‘maintenance’ care fosters dependency and promotes a scientifically invalid premise.  At our practice, we will work hard to correct whatever problem(s) you might have and/or teach you the skills and habits to maintain your health following the completion of your course of care.  While some conditions may require longer term treatment than others, in every case our goal is to do the most good in the fewest number of office visits.
