Allen Berger, DC has been practicing state-of-the-art alternative medicine in Denver since 1980. A lifelong learner, he has systematically pursued, learned, and incorporated the most advanced natural healing methods available, as patients with increasingly difficult and complex conditions sought him out for help. Patients from all over consult with him, often after trying multiple other health approaches without success. Dr Berger is one of the few practitioners in the world of Matrix Repatterning, a revolutionary and phenomenally effective new method of manual medicine. He also practices Applied Kinesiology, Functional Medicine, Clinical Nutrition, Acupuncture, Frequency Specific Microcurrent, Laser Neuromodulation, NET, and other cutting-edge techniques. His work is applicable to all ages.
I had constant upper respiratory problems as a child. I was always sneezing and coughing, hacking and spewing, weeping and blinking and sniffling. I had colds all of the time, and pneumonia when I was in the second grade. When I was about eight years old my parents took me to an allergist, who tested me for allergies by injecting me with hundreds of syringes full of suspected antigens. He concluded that I was allergic to all green plants, all animal dander, and all dust and mold. In short, I was allergic to everything alive. We couldn’t have any pets, and I wasn’t supposed to be outside when my allergies were bad. For the next ten years I got eight injections a week to desensitize me, and I took ever-increasing doses of antihistamine medications, which made me drowsy, but I still had my debilitating allergies.
When I got ready to go to college I ordered a thousand antihistamine pills to last me until I came home. It turned out that the pharmacist got the pills in bottles of a hundred, and instead of transferring them to a huge prescription bottle labeled with only my name and dosage and the doctor’s name, he gave me the ten original bottles. Because of this, I got to read the label for the first time. (In those days it was unheard of for patients to see the prescribing information for drugs, and there was no internet.) What I read made me upset.
On only half of the dose I had taken all through puberty, you weren’t supposed to operate motor vehicles. I called my doctor and voiced my concerns to him about this. He answered “who’s the doctor, me or you?” I told him “neither one of us; you’re fired!”
This left me with a problem. I still had my allergies, which were basically unchanged after ten years of treatment, but I no longer had a doctor to take care of me. I was dependent on antihistamine horse-pills, but I only had a thousand, and I took at least three a day. I realized that “if it is to be, it is up to me,” and I began a search to find my own treatment. I discovered that if I modified my diet, all my symptoms went away. It was incredible. That discovery led me to the work I do today, and still inspires me.
I tried to learn as much as I could about nutrition and health. In the early 1970’s I helped found a natural foods cooperative. I kept learning about various ways to naturally approach health and health care, and ultimately enrolled in chiropractic school to formally study, and to enable me to have a professional practice in which I could help others with health problems that medical care couldn’t solve.
Patients kept coming in to see me with more and more difficult problems I couldn’t help them with, so I had to keep learning new skills. Over the years I have become proficient in many diverse healing techniques. Because I felt I needed to do more for my patients than just provide manual therapy, I became certified in acupuncture, and took training in many different aspects of clinical nutrition. When I realized the impact of emotions on health I learned to practice NET, the most effective form of psycho-emotional change work I know of. Seeking the most advanced and effective natural therapies available, I added the technological advances of low level laser and microcurrent electrostimulation therapy to my practice. When I discovered it, I became one of only a handful of practitioners in the world certified in the cutting-edge healing methods of Matrix Repatterning, which I believe to be the most advanced physical medicine on the planet.
I continue to strive to incorporate the most progressive, effective, and enlightened healing modalities available into my practice. I take great satisfaction in having been able to help many people with difficult, complex, chronic conditions, people who had previously received only minimal benefits from standard care, and who had given up hope.

Testimonials from Allen's clients
I was in a head-on collision with another driver who turned in front of me. I just could not seem to get back to normal following this event. When I did go back to work, it was really hard for me to think clearly and deeply about my tasks, problem solve, make decisions, and focus. .. Through Dr. Berger’s work, God brought me to a level of health and wellbeing…

I felt as if I had seen nearly every allergist in the city … I literally forgot what it was like to breath through my nose. I spent my days gasping for air and feeling exhausted… the traditional medical community provided no long lasting help. Dr. Berger provided acupuncture, nutritional and chiropractic care. The combination of these therapies has created a practically miraculous turn-around in my general health and specifically…

I had pain in my lower abdomen would vary from just noticeable to extreme, especially when I became fatigued … I went to Dr. Allen Berger after hearing him speak … I no longer have stiffness in my lower back and the pain is gone!
Working with Allen and Wendy has led me to a happier, healthier life. My family and I have been seeing them when needed over these last 10+ years. They are amazing healers and well worth the time and energy.
Dr. Berger has aided me greatly in recovering from chronic headaches, a severely sprained ankle, a second batch of ulcers, various liver issues, a severe and remarkably persistent head injury, I am absolutely indebted to Dr. Berger for the assistance which he has provided to me!
I had ongoing lower back pain for over 20 years. Chiropractors provided some help, but I still had pain. Dr. Berger believed the problem was due to an old injury from a leg break and that area needed treatment. He was right! I no longer have the extreme pain in my back and leg!
I am sleeping in the same room with my wife after 24 years of sleeping in separate bedrooms! There is no doubt that the various treatments Dr. Berger gave me are mainly responsible for my ability to sleep through nights consistently without snoring.
I was in pain from Fibromyalgia, Plantar Fasciitis and extra weight. I felt hopeless, helpless and destined to live out my life in chronic pain. Dr. Berger directed me on what foods to avoid, gave me nutritional supplements and began his treatments. Now, I am like a new person!
The acupuncture, chiropractic and nutritional methods of Dr. Berger have literally given me a new lease on life. My migraine headaches, which I’ve endured for decades, have ceased. Thank you, Dr. Berger!
My health had deteriorated to a point that my very existence was in jeopardy. My liver was not functioning properly, and I was hospitalized. Dr. Berger put me on various vitamins and nutrients … now my liver functions are all within normal range.
