There are some insurance companies that will accept. I know this for a fact. If you have a Flex Spending Account that is also in your favor. I use it for my treatment. U spend $$'s submit the receipts & u get your $$$'s back so you can continue going for treatments. Me & my husband my mother my sister-in-law use Dr.Berg and we have had nothing butFavorable results & we continue to go to Dr. Berg.He's knowledgeable and we've all enjoyed his treatments.I went to dr berg 1 Sat morning deadly sick with something I have no idea I had a splitting headache, achy all over could not walk in there on my own by the time he and one of his drs. finished with me when I left there everyone at the front desk was amazed it was like a total transformation I left there smiling and went on my way and went on with my day. I to this day am amazed at the diffeence from when I arrived to when I left 1 hr. later.

I went to see Dr. Berg about my overall health and weight. He seemed to be very knowledgeable about nutrition and health. Although the program was a little out of my price range he gave me an eating plan and I have lost 24 pounds. I am very happy with the service that I received.

Do not go here. Dr. Berg tries to get you in there as much as possible for as many aliments that he can treat. Once he "helps" you with one issue, he finds another. It doesn't appear that he has any intention of letting you go as a patient or decreasing the frequency that you go. All he sees is dollar signs.

DO NOT GET ROPED INTO PAYING FOR A PACKAGE WITH DR. BERG!! The cheapest package is for 12 sessions and it costs $1380 and you have to pay for it all up front (none of the treatment is covered by insurance). The other thing is when you sign on for the package you are agreeing to be treated by people other than Dr. Berg and you don't get to meet them beforehand. The acupressure technique does not work. The acupressure sessions are generally quite rushed. That being said, the diet that he recommends in his book is helpful; he does know some things about nutrition. But all that requires is buying his book and following the recommendations in there; all of your progress will be based on your effort to grocery shop and prepare the right foods. If you do choose to see him for nutritional advice, see him on an individual session basis.

Highly recommended!! I've attended the Wellness Cntr for 1.5 yrs now.It's been the VERY BEST experience.I suffered from many different ailments and have seen marked improvements in every aspect of my health.The EXTREME exhaustion, painful joints, body that wouldn't respond to exercise,constant year-round rhinitis,abdominal discomfort,shakiness,improper digestion,slowing thyroid,slow metabolism,difficulty getting deep & restful sleep, and unresponsive acne are all GONE or VERY well managed. They've even helped me get over allergic reactions in a few days that previously would only subside with months of steroid creams and pills.They've NEVER pushed supplements on me or encouraged me to sign up for more and more rounds of treatments.Their staff is VERY polite,professional,& kind.The doctors are honest,caring,& knowledgeable.Everything Dr. Berg & the other doctors say makes perfect sense AND works.I've stopped taking all medicines,have lost the final 10 lbs and am in great condition.

Eric Berg, D.C. operates The Health and Wellness Center in Alexandria, Virginia, has been reprimanded, fined $1,500, and ordered to stop using and promoting Body ResponseTechnique (BRT), Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET), Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA), and testing with an Acoustic Cardiograph (ACG). BRT, NAET, and CRA involve bogus muscle tests that supposedly are related to body organs. The ACG is claimed to provide a "readable signature" of heart sounds" that is used to detect imbalances of body chemistry. The alleged problems are then corrected with dietary supplements. The consent agreement (shown below) notes that Berg had made many therapeutic claims that were not supportable by reasonable scientfic or medical evidence. Surveys have found that over 40% of chiropractors have used muscle testing in similar ways, most notably as part of a system called applied kinesiology.

Dr. Eric Berg helped me a lot with my problems. He is a very impressive man and he knows what he is talking about. I had many issues especially pain and he handled it and this is not even mentioning the Weight Loss Program he has. The 4 body types that is mentioned in his book, The 7 Principles of Fat Burning, is incredible. You will be surprised on how good each body type can describe the person..it will leave you speechless. I really appreciate all of Dr. Berg's help and would recommend anybody with Pain, Weight problems or any problem in general to go to him.

I am embarassed to say that I fell for this guy's spiel. His offices were dated and cluttered, and poorly furnished. His office staff was so unprofessional,that I wanted to ask him, why he had such a large staff if things still didn't run smoothly. I waited one afternoon for over an hour to be called, when the office staff had told me they would work me in. I actually fell asleep waiting to see the doctor on another occassion. Those of us, who are overweight, are always looking for a new fix, but I can't wait until my money that I have paid is used up, because I will never make this mistake again. The couple of doctors that I saw were polite, and they seemed genuinely interested in your health, but after the first visit, I never saw Dr. Berg again. I guess I will see him at the end of my time, so he can convince me I need more treatments. I know my answer already, no.

I agree w/raters 10/09 and 12/24 except I did not discern the authenticity of the "guinea pig" from the audience at the seminar. Probably the reason for the staff ineptitude was because there was large turnover. If you are looking for a "straight" chiro this is not the place to go; I never witnessed standard chiro services used. It appears that the HWC subscribes to the Ben Cummings method of managing and wise.org: http://www.practicebuildingcenter.com/public/99.cfm I could have gotten better and less expensive help by going to a REAL dietitian. I believe that all my improvements where due to my diet and exercise and not BRT treatments that the VA Medical Board determined to be inappropriate for a chiro practice: http://www.dhp.virginia.gov/Notices/Medicine/0104001851/0104001851Order09132007.pdf I found Dr. Berg to be a capable intelligent person and I hope he can find a acceptable way to help people.

Eric E. Berg is a licensed chiropractor, not a medical doctor. He uses (has used) alternative 'techniques' which the licensing board in Virginia has instructed Dr. Berg to "cease and desist the use of, and any and all advertising pertaining to, BRT, NAET, CRT, ACG" among additional requirements to keep his license. Dr. Berg has trained and 'certified' a large number of alternative practitioners in his "Body Restoration Technique" (BRT). He also trains practitioners in how to incorporate 'weight loss' services, rather than 'pain relief' services, including all the marketing tricks to increase the number of incoming patients. Visits averaged around $95 and no insurance is taken. The Health and Wellness Center is a practice which certainly seems very interested in taking lots of your money.

I was referred to Dr. Berg by a friend and I have since referred many of my friends there and we have all had different but significant results there. He is great and the staff are all great. I will continue to refer.

Dr.Eric Berg and the Health & Wellness Center is a total scam. He claims to use a method of acupressure called, Body Restoration Techniquite, or BRT to help all ailments. It is a total lie. They rope you in with a free seminar, where they pay a person to attend & claim results. Next, they do not accept any insurance nor do they provide codes. Their office staff is unintelligent, does not know how to use their own computer programs, and cannot answer simple questions. The office is designed so that you can hear everything going on with other patients. There are no doors, only curtains, and no closed walls. The "doctors" there keep you coming in for visits by telling you how sick you are and that you aren't yielding results b/c you are so sick. They also prescribe unnecessary supplements in unsafe amounts. Horrible experience...these people are clearly out to take advantage of sick and poor people.
