Daily Headaches and Occasional Migraines.. GONE!
Star Review - Hometown Family Wellness Center
Review: Dr. Russell Brokstein is a very talented and experienced chiropractor. He helped me overcome my daily headaches, tension and occasional migraines. I used to suffer from headaches and migraines that came on suddenly and lasted somewhere between 20 minutes to 2 hours! They made me so tired, irritable and unable to fall asleep at night. Traditional pain-killers provided short-term relief but the problem persisted!! When I told Dr. Russell about my headaches, he asked me several unexpected to me questions, e.g., about the food I consume immediately prior to the onset of headaches, the amount of coffee I drink and outside stressors (I never thought that food can cause headaches!) After he listened to me, he recommended several procedures, including adjusting my neck. The headache was gone 5 minutes after the treatment!!! It was almost too good to believe!! I have been headache-free since the treatment and follow Dr. Russell's advice on nutrition and caffeine-intake. I am really happy I consulted Dr. Russell and I highly recommend him to anyone suffering from stress, headaches and migraines. Thank you Doctor!

Knee Pain no More! Fibromyalgia under control! No Medication or Surgery!
Star Review - Hometown Family Wellness Center
Review: I went to Dr. Brokstein in pain in my knee. I was worried that surgery was going to be my only option but I was open to chiropractic care as I had been to a different chiropractor many years prior due to a car accident. I am fully recovered from the knee injury in only a short time and without pain. I have full range of my knee thanks to Dr. Brokstein's care. I have been to other chiropractors in the past and his caring manner and knowledge surpasses others greatly. I cannot thank him enough for getting my knee back to normal. I do continue to see Dr. Brokstein as I do suffer from Fibromyalgia and he has helped greatly with that pain and flare ups. I highly recommend him as an option to avoid other unnecessary medical procedures like surgery.

Dr. Russell is more than the best chiropractor....
Star Review - Hometown Family Wellness Center
Review: 12 years ago I found the best Chiropractor on the planet. Dr. Russell Brokstein is the kind of physician that always meets the needs of the patient by being kind and caring and putting the patient first. Under Dr. Brokstein’s care I was able to find relief from my persistent sciatica and he also provided re-habilitation and informative exercises to relieve the daily stress of carpel tunnel syndrome. Dr. Brokstein provided not only physical care but nutritional advice as well. His weight loss programs have been extremely beneficial. If you are looking for an attentive doctor that listens to the patient and attends to their needs then I recommend Dr. Brokstein at Hometown Family Wellness Center for the entire family.

Review: I have been seeing Dr. Brokstein for chiropractic help since 2006 mainly for continued spinal maintenance and overall health. I continue to see Dr. Brokstein because he is very skilled in making sure that I am feeling well and adjusted after an appointment. I would suggest to anyone who may be suffering from any type of back pain, pinched nerve, sciatica, or any imbalance that one should make an apointment to see Dr. Brokstein and start back on the road to feeling better.

My vicious cycle of issues finally ended when I found Dr. Brokstein
Star Review - Hometown Family Wellness Center
Review: It has been a long and winding road that has led me to Dr. Brokstein.....and extremely bumpy one for that matter. I always tell my friends and family that finding Dr. Brokstein was like winning the lottery!! Many of the doctors I have seen for years simply manage the issue(s) I am having by putting a band aid over it and never getting to the root of the issue, ultimately leading to more doctors, more medication and more frustration.....where does it ever end I thought. For years this vicious cycle continued. That is until my initial visit with Dr. Brokstein. He was so informative, spending more time than any doctor ever had with me and started to put the pieces together for me. His whole body approach to wellness is exquisite, he is in a league of his own and made me feel I could finally start to stop the cycle, and he was going to help me achieve that goal! It has been such an amazing experience......I would whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Brokstein to anyone!

Lucky to have found Dr. Russell
Star Review - Hometown Family Wellness Center
Review: About 2 weeks ago I experienced the worst pain in my life. It was in my lower back. I knew that going to a regular doctor won't treat the cause of my problem, only would mask the symptoms so I decided to go to a chiropractor. My condition was so bad that I could hardly stand up, every movement was causing me sharp pain and weakness in back and legs. I found doctor Brokstein and was very pleasantly surprised how friendly and nice he was. I have been to a lot of doctors in my life and never had anyone be so understanding and caring for the patient. It was determined I had an inflamed or possibly bulged disc which is a serious condition and normally requires months of treatment. I also had sciatica and muscle imbalance. The doctor did an adjustment to my back and offered me a very affordable payment plan since I'm uninsured. I went for few more adjustments the next 2 weeks and now my discs are completely healed. I'm able to go back to work and do my every day activities without pain. For the last 2 weeks I haven't taken any pain relievers or muscle relaxants. Overall, this has been a very pleasant experience. The doctor is not only very skillful and knowledgable, but a nice and easy-going person who truly cares for his patients. He also gave me a lot of advice on how to stay healthy in the future.

Review: When I met Dr. Russell I had thrown my back out and could not move for days. I was unemployed and had no insurance.

Best Chiropractor I've been to hands down...
Star Review - Hometown Family Wellness Center
Review: I have visited almost 10 chiropractors since I was a kid. Dr. Brokstein is by far the best I've seen. He is extremely knowledgeable and is focused on getting to the root of the problem, and not just treating the symptoms. Also, he does a great job of explaining why the pain exists in the first place and makes great recommendations on how to prevent the problems in the future. On several occasions, he has seen me on very short notice and has been more than accommodating.

Review: I was involved in a car accident a few years ago and treated with an orthopaedic doctor for back and neck injuries. The orthopaedic doctor prescribed a cortisone injection, an epidural and physical therapy non of which provided any alleviation to my lower back pain and neck. A year after my last epidural injection, I was still experiencing a lot of lower back and neck pain. About two or three months ago the back and neck pain was becoming unbearable and I began to have severe headaches so I decided to seek chiropractic care instead. After just a few visits with Dr Brokstein, my headaches started to go away and I am finally beginning to feel some alleviation from the pain that I have been experiencing in the past few years. Dr. Brokstein is an extremely personable and a very caring doctor, he really takes the time to explain his treatments and answer your questions. I highly recommend him to anyone that is interested in seeking chiropratic care.

Review: There are a few things in a person's life for which they are greatful. A loving partner, adult children that actually get along with each other, a good barber or hair dresser, a good mechanic. Another is a good chiropractor. I started chiropractic care when I was in my 30's. Over the past 30+ years I have gone thru 5 chiropractors before finding Dr. Brokstein. Like anything else when you have found the right one you stick with it. I have been a patient of Dr. Brokstein for over 10 years now. My son and daughter are also patients. He listens to what you have to say and treats you accordingly. I have been to some medical doctors where after sitting in their waiting room for 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour and then they warehouse you in an examine room for another 1/2 hr have the audacity to rush thru the appt. AND the complaints you told them about are still not addressed. They are so anxious to get to the next patient they quickly write you a prescription and out the examine room door they go. Medical doctors can't take care of everything. There are limitations to any medical field. Dr. Brokstein takes the time to listen and addresses you aches and pains. He is the most thorough chiropractor I have ever had. I would highly recommend Dr. Brokstein to anyone interested in chiropratic care.

Review: I have been a patient of Dr. Brokstein for approximately 3 years. I started going because of back pain, which is now non- existent. I am also a marathon runner and Dr. Russell has shown me different exercises to improve my time and has also improved my posture. Over the past few years I learned the importance of nutrition and how eating the right foods will help the body to perform at its maximum potential. Dr. Russell believes so much in what he does and he practices everything that he preaches. He really cares about all his patients and takes his time while treating them. I have learned more from him than I have learned from any medical doctor.

Review: I have mild scoliosis and I came to Dr. Russell hoping I would find some relief. It has been about 6 months and I am amazed at how much better I look and feel. I am much more comfortable and I feel a sense of balance that I haven't felt in my body for a long time. I can even physically start to see the changes as my posture is getting much better and my shoulders are evening out. Overall I feel a lot less pain, balanced, and much more relaxed. I have even been feeling an improvement in my sinuses since I have started treatment. Since coming to Hometown Wellness Center I can confidently say I know I am on my way to better health!
