Dr. Brett Berner
Upper Cervical Chiropractor
Meet Dr. Brett Berner, an Upper Cervical Chiropractor specializing in the Orthospinology procedure. He’s passionate about helping others live healthier lives through precise, gentle care—without cracking or twisting the spine.
His journey began at Palm Harbor University High School in a medical program that sparked his interest in healing. While earning his Bachelor’s at Florida State University, he discovered the powerful impact of Upper Cervical Chiropractic while shadowing local doctors, inspiring his career path.
Driven by compassion and a commitment to excellence, Dr. Berner combines advanced diagnostics with customized care to help patients restore their health naturally. He’s now a trusted leader in the field, known for delivering lasting results.
Dr. Brett Berner’s defining moment came during a college winter break when he found his father barely able to walk, relying on a cane due to severe low back pain from years of physical strain and military service. Wanting to help, Dr. Berner referred him to the Upper Cervical Chiropractor he had previously shadowed.
The diagnosis revealed an Atlas Obstruction—the root cause of the pain. After just one precise correction, his father walked out without his cane and never needed it again.
Witnessing this life-changing transformation inspired Dr. Berner to dedicate his life to Upper Cervical Chiropractic, helping others find lasting relief when all hope seems lost.
Dr. Brett Berner earned his Doctorate from the esteemed Palmer College of Chiropractic and is committed to making a meaningful impact in his community. With experience caring for patients of all ages—from newborns to seniors—he combines clinical expertise with a deep passion for natural healing.
A strong advocate for ketosis and intermittent fasting, Dr. Berner often shares his knowledge to help others improve their health through simple, sustainable lifestyle changes.
Originally practicing traditional chiropractic, he transitioned to Foundational Correction after witnessing the life-changing results his father experienced through Upper Cervical care. This precise, non-invasive technique avoids cracking or popping and allows him to help patients who feel they’ve run out of options finally find relief.
With thousands of hours of training, Dr. Berner specializes in managing chronic conditions and enhancing quality of life. He’s excited to serve the community and create lasting change through the power of Foundational Chiropractic care using the Upper Cervical Orthospinology procedure.

Michelle
Office Manager
I'm a proud Florida native with a passion for healthcare and a deep desire to make a positive impact in people's lives. Working in this field is incredibly fulfilling because it allows me to connect with others, provide support during challenging times, and play a role in their journey toward better health and wellness.
Outside of work, I enjoy soaking up the Florida sunshine at the beach, where I find peace and balance. I'm an avid reader who loves getting lost in stories that inspire, entertain, or offer a fresh perspective. Creativity is another important part of my life—I express it through crocheting, a hobby that allows me to turn simple materials into something beautiful and meaningful.
When it’s time to unwind, you’ll find me curled up watching movies, whether it’s a timeless classic or a new release I’ve been excited to see. These moments help me recharge so I can bring my best self to everything I do.

My passion for healthcare and desire to make a meaningful impact on others’ lives led me to a rewarding role as a Chiropractic Assistant at Foundation Chiropractic.
