Biography

In the world of veterinary health, few practitioners blend compassion, innovation, and expertise quite like Dr. Maeg Berkowitz. As the founder of Chiropractic Dogtor in the Bay Area, California, Dr. Maeg has dedicated her career to helping animals—particularly dogs—regain mobility and quality of life through non-invasive chiropractic techniques. With credentials including an MBA, Doctor of Chiropractic (DC), and Certified Veterinary Chiropractor (CVC), she specializes in treating conditions like Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), a debilitating spinal issue that affects many breeds, especially French Bulldogs.
