Celebrating 5 Years of ChiroWay® of Duluth with Danielle Berger Berkseth, D.C.

This week marks 5 years since Danielle Berger Berkseth, D.C., opened ChiroWay® of Duluth, a milestone reached in what seems like a blink of time.

According to the Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Advocacy’s 2018 Frequently Asked Questions, roughly 80% of small businesses survive their first year, but only about 50% of small businesses survive beyond the five-year mark.

Having not only survived but thrived in business, we went ahead and asked Danielle Berger Berkseth, D.C., owner and chiropractor of ChiroWay® Duluth, a couple of questions looking back on her past five years in business and practice.

Early Inspiration and Starting ChiroWay® of Duluth

Before attaining her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University, Danielle grew up in Foxboro, where she was first introduced to her love of chiropractic. She nannied for the family of a local chiropractor, where she witnessed, and personally experienced, the life-changing impact of spinal adjustments.

Regarding her decision to collaborate with ChiroWay®, Danielle stated, “I started ChiroWay® of Duluth because I wanted to own my own practice, but I also didn’t want to go into practice all on my own. I wanted some guidance. Owning a franchise location has meant I’ve been able to make my practice my own, all while having a team of chiropractors to work with and give direction as I needed it.”

Professional Accomplishments and Education

Danielle cites her biggest professional accomplishment in this half-decade as continuing her education with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), and expanding the practice member base. “Using the interactions I’ve had with clients to better serve individuals coming in seeking care has been an ongoing process,” she shared.

The ICPA’s mission is to establish and advance the chiropractic family lifestyle. The mission at ICPA and ChiroWay® share similar values that promote regular chiropractic for infants, children, and adults to express a higher quality of life.

Personal Achievements and Reflections

Danielle, who proudly became a new mother in December, reflects on her personal achievements since opening her practice, including the birth of her daughter, which has allowed her the capacity and freedom to spend several weeks with her new family of three.

When asked what comes to mind about this achievement of time, Danielle responded, “I think about all of the people I’ve met and cared for over the last five years, and it makes me so happy to know I’ve helped the amount of people that I have. Many of them have become friends and feel like family to me.”
