National Teacher Appreciation Month Celebrated by Top Rated Chiropractor in Freehold NJ
May is here and it’s time to celebrate National Teacher Appreciation month. Another unusual school year is ending and teachers were again put to the test with extra stress during the Covid19 restrictions. Teachers had to adapt to virtual classes, modified weekly schedules and constant changes.
Teachers deserve recognition every day. More than ever, we need to show how much we love them as the school year is quickly winding down during these unusual times.
Make sure you thank every teacher you know!
Dr. Brokstein says, “Teachers work so hard during the school year. They have a big impact on students of all ages. Teachers encourage, influence, inspire, guide and mold students into future leaders and hard workers. Many of my friends and patients have worked in local schools. Teachers have been under more stress these last 2 years. Every teacher deserves extra appreciation as the school year is quickly coming to an end. Freehold is my hometown and opening a practice here was a great way to give back to the community. Participating in National Teacher Appreciation month is one of several events during the year that I like to be a part of. I thank every teacher who motivated me to work hard and become the person I am today and every teacher who continues to work hard in the current stressful education environment.”
To honor teachers, Dr. Brokstein is extending to all teachers a Natural Health and Stress Relief Consultation:
This natural health and stress relief consultation includes a comprehensive exam, state of the art Spinal stress evaluation and discussing your health goals.
I am also offering every teacher $10 off one or our Chiroflow water based pillows or any of our in stock natural plant based supplements.
Life as a teacher is more hectic than ever, so we want you to have the freedom to take full advantage of this health opportunity and not have to worry about grading papers, building lessons plans and the difficult times with covid19.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Month!

Plantar Fasciitis More Common As Spring Activities Go Into High Gear Warns Freehold Chiropractor
This condition is under diagnosed and overly painful. And it targets everyone, from those who are hard on their feet to professional athletes. We’re talking about plantar fasciitis.
Simply put, plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the tissue in your foot. Toe-curling pain from the condition usually
presents in the heel area and worst first thing in the morning when you get out of bed and take that first step. One common cause are shoes that don’t fit properly. Example: Women are 2.5 times more likely to get plantar fasciitis than men due to wearing high heels.1
The arches in the feet start dropping at around age 5. Shoes are not fitted for each individual. Your feet are not the same, the arches are different heights, yet you are wearing shoes that are built the same. Then the next person who wears the same size buys the same shoes but their arches are not the same as yours and need different support. Walking, running and standing for years with shoes not properly supportive lead to stress on the tissues in your feet.
An estimated 2 million Americans2 are treated for plantar fasciitis every year. What that 2 million number doesn’t consider is the millions of people who suffer in pain every year and have no official diagnosis.
Surgery and injections are often prescribed to treat the pain and inflammation. But we offer a safe, drug-free, non-surgical treatment: Soft tissue techniques, gentle adjustments to the foot and ankle, ultrasound therapy and Foot Levelers custom orthotics.
The adjustments with therapy and soft tissue techniques help optimize motion in the joints, break up the scar tissue and reduce inflammation naturally with no dangerous medications or injections.
The Foot Levelers custom orthotics are custom-made specifically for your feet based off a 3D scan. Foot Levelers custom orthotics help treat plantar fasciitis by:
- Positioning the foot in a proper position for healing
- Supporting all three arches to help distribute pressure on the feet more evenly. (Foot Levelers is the only custom orthotic provider that supports the three arches of the feet.)
- Cushioning and protecting the heel from repeated trauma. In In fact, 9% of running injuries in the United States are due to plantar fasciitis.3
From work boots and dress shoes to cleats and running shoes, Foot Levelers makes custom orthotics for all of your shoe types and activities. And when you are at the beach or on the way to the gym, Foot Levelers also makes custom-flip flops! I wear Foot Levelers in all my shoes, have the flip flops as I am a summer beach bum and they all make a world of a difference not only in my feet but my lower back.
Whether you are a weekend warrior or have children getting ready for spring sports, help them reduce the risk of and prevent pain from plantar fasciitis through Foot Levelers custom orthotics.
We include a complimentary foot scan with all our initial exams. If you would like to learn more about how Foot Levelers custom orthotics help treat plantar fasciitis, please give us a call and schedule an appointment.

Super Bowl Message: Age is as Limited as Your Mind
As we roll into this evening’s Super Bowl I read a couple great messages from colleagues. I reflect on the NFL’s GOAT, Tom Brady:
First, Dr. Margolies wrote an amazing email and I wanted to share his message:
“Today is Super Bowl Sunday and Tom Brady, the 43 year old quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will prove that age is as limited as your mind. He is the oldest quarterback to play in the Super Bowl. Today is his 10th Super Bowl. He’s been in 18% of every Super Bowl! He has already won 6 of the previous 9 he has been in.
Many NFL fans disliked him continually winning with his former team New England Patriots. After last season he
made a move to Tampa Bay and he took with him his winning attitude, work ethic and leadership navigating Tampa, a team that last played in the Super Bowl back in 2003, to the Super Bowl this Sunday after beating three strong competitive teams with their superstar quarterbacks to get to the party.
We are a product of choices and Brady never looks back just ahead. He takes care of his body and mind with a special diet and physical and mental regime. Granted he has a personal chef and can afford whatever he needs to succeed but many like him never reach their goals as he has. Message to take away, don’t let age get the better of you, strive to keep your mind and body sharp and win your own Super Bowl.”
Another colleague, Dr. Jeff Roistacher writes, “If you don’t respect the greatest of this man than you are simply a hater. His entire day revolves around his fitness, preparation and family. It’s not an accident on why his body continues to function for him.
How would your body function if you put even 10% of the effort he does?
Think about this.. 92% of the cause of Cancer, Diabetes and Heart disease are your diet and lifestyle!! It’s not your genetics or bad luck.
I don’t understand why YOU don’t take your health seriously BEFORE you become sick. Do you think the MD’s will save you by giving you meds to mask your horrendous lifestyle?”
I have been in practice over 22 years and will be 50 this year. I value and make my health a priority. Around 10 years ago I had a patient come in who was 25 years old and he said, where’s the doctor? I responded by saying, “right in front of you” and introduced myself. He says, “What? Did you start when you were 14?” I asked, “What do you mean?” and he then says, “You can’t be much older than me.” When I told him I was turning 40, he asks me, “What’s your secret?”
I told the patient that I work out 4 days per week, do my daily spinal hygiene stretching, take my multi vitamin with omegas, antioxidants, minerals and telomere support, get adjusted 1 to 2 times per month and do a 11 day nutritional cleanse program 4 times a year. When I told him this, he says, “THAT’S NO WAY TO LIVE!”
Really? I was holding in my laugh and responded, “well that’s why you feel and look like that at 25 and I look like this at 40.”
Turn the clocks forward 10 years, he returned to the practice after 9 years being away and when he sees me, he says, “Wow, you don’t look a day older than you did last time I saw you.” I said, “I am still living the same healthy lifestyle I always have.” He just laughed and continued on with the visit.
We all have a choice. If you are sick and tired of looking and feeling sick and tired, then it’s time for a change. It’s time to make your health a priority! Health is a responsibility. Are you ready? If not now, then when?
My goal is to help as many people as possible to make this shift in lifestyle and turn health around. You know what the definition of insanity is? Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
I have programs and systems for anybody to follow, but you have to want it! Feel free to message me or discuss further on your next visit.

Hometown Family Wellness Center Where Health is a Lifestyle
Sports Chiropractor in Freehold NJ
Many people are athletes at different levels and experience injuries. It’s important to find a sports chiropractor in Freehold NJ that has experience working on these problems.
Dr. Russell Brokstein at Hometown Family Wellness Center in Freehold, NJ has been working on athletes for over 22 years. As an athlete himself, Dr. Russell has found chiropractic to not only help in recovering from injuries but improve optimal functioning.
A sports chiropractor not only adjusts the spine, but will utilize therapeutic stretching, extremity adjusting, soft tissue techniques, stabilizing exercises and other therapies if needed. The important thing is the initial analysis to find the actually cause of the problem to know which techniques to use. It’s important to differentially diagnose if the problem is stemming from a strain or sprain, is there an underlying joint restriction, are the discs or nerves being affected and are there tight muscles contributing to the imbalances.
Too many practitioners just address the point of pain. As a sports chiropractor in Freehold NJ, I search for the imbalances leading to the dysfunction. You will get relief of your pain, but improve healing and increase range of motion. Studies have shown that athletes seeing a sports chiropractor improve in strength, faster injury recovery, injury prevention, increased flexibility, overall improved sports performance. The great thing is this is all without any dangerous, addictive medications nor surgery.
Dr. Russell has worked on children who play sports, high school and college athletes, pro athletes, weekend warriors and even a competitor in The American Gladiators. One of our patients recently shared his experience below:
