Paget Chiropractor | Dr. Gregory Bernius (Chiropractor)
Simply put, I was a skeptic…
Dr. Gregory Bernius (Chiropractor)
I was in college playing football when I developed a “slipped disc.” In my case, it came on gradually over a few years. The pain was so intense that I couldn’t walk, sit, or stand without severe discomfort. I was afraid that I would not be able to play football again and that I might lose my college scholarship.
After considering surgery (which the surgeon said was my only option), I decided against it. A friend convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt — it actually felt good. I experienced relief, and before long, I was able to play football again.
It worked so well that I went to chiropractic college myself. It’s strange how life works out — now people come to see me with their disc problems, as well as with headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder and arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, numbness in the limbs, athletic injuries, and more.
Education
I hold a B.A. Degree from Mid-America Nazarene College in Olathe, Kansas, as well as a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa — the first and most recognized chiropractic college in the world.
I was an instructor at Palmer Chiropractic College in Radiology and Diagnosis, and later became an associate with one of the largest chiropractic clinics in Texas for six years before moving to Bermuda in March 1995.
I have undertaken extensive post-graduate work in the management and treatment of neck and low back pain, headaches, sports injuries, radiology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, and nutrition.
My Approach
I became a chiropractor to make a real impact on people’s health. By treating the cause of their problems — not just covering up the pain — I’m able to do just that.
While at school, I was truly amazed by the inner workings of the human body and how we can influence overall health by caring for the spine and nervous system. During my years as an associate chiropractor in Texas, I gained invaluable experience from my mentor, Dr. Mark Brown, who taught me to treat every person — whether a janitor or CEO — with the same care and respect. He showed me that each patient deserves empathy, understanding, and individualized care.
Outside of the Office
I have been married to my wife, Tina, for 12 years, and we have been blessed to live in Bermuda since 1995. We have two sons, aged 19 and 20, and two daughters, aged 20 and 21.
I would never recommend anything to my patients that I’m not willing to do myself. That’s why I make time each day to exercise, eat healthy foods, drink plenty of water, take vitamins, and receive ongoing maintenance adjustments whenever possible.
