About Dr. Mark Jason Bernardo, DC

Chiropractor in Rocklin | Sciatica & Disc Specialist

Hi, I’m Dr. Mark Jason Bernardo, founder of Disc Wellness Chiropractic in Rocklin, California.

I graduated cum laude from Life Chiropractic College West, and from early in my training I was drawn to structural spinal conditions — especially disc injuries and nerve-related pain.

Today, my clinical focus is clear: I help patients dealing with sciatica, disc bulges, herniated discs, car accident injuries, and neck pain. Many of the people I see have already tried other approaches and are still looking for answers.

If you’re searching for a chiropractor in Rocklin who focuses specifically on disc conditions and nerve compression, that’s the core of my practice.


What I Focus On

  • Sciatica
  • Disc bulges
  • Herniated discs
  • Cervical and lumbar radiculopathy
  • Car accident and whiplash injuries
  • Neck pain
  • Pain traveling down the arms or legs

These conditions often require more than general adjustments. They require evaluation, precision, and a structured plan.


My Approach: The Disc Wellness Protocol™

In my office, I use what I call the Disc Wellness Protocol™.

It’s a structured approach that combines:

  • Digital X-ray analysis
  • Gonstead-specific spinal evaluation
  • Static and motion palpation
  • Instrumentation
  • Specific spinal listings
  • Line-of-drive adjustments
  • Chattanooga spinal decompression therapy

I’ve completed over 200 hours of advanced Gonstead training because I believe precision matters — especially in disc and sciatica cases.

Every X-ray is reviewed personally.
Every adjustment is intentional.

My goal is not just symptom relief, but structural improvement when appropriate.


Experience with Complex Cases

A large portion of my practice involves:

  • MRI-confirmed disc herniations
  • Severe sciatica
  • Chronic disc degeneration
  • Post-car accident injuries
  • Patients told surgery may be their next option

Disc conditions are rarely random. In my clinical experience, there is usually a structural pattern contributing to nerve pressure. Identifying that pattern is critical.


Car Accident & Veteran Care

I work with personal injury cases and collaborate with attorneys when needed. Documentation and detailed evaluation are important in these situations.

As a TriWest provider, I’m proud to serve veterans and military families in Rocklin, Roseville, and surrounding communities.


Who I Serve

  • Desk professionals with chronic neck and low back pain
  • Patients struggling with severe sciatica
  • Individuals diagnosed with disc bulges or herniated discs
  • Auto accident patients
  • Veterans
  • Athletes
  • Families seeking structural spinal care

If your case feels complicated, you’re not alone. Many of my patients come to me specifically because they need a more detailed and focused evaluation.
