Freehold Chiropractor’s Merry Christmas 2020 Poem
Chiropractic Merry Christmas 2020
T’was the day before Christmas,
but there was no cheer.
No jingle bells jingled, no sound of reindeer.
There was a Corona Virus Pandemic everywhere
Word got out that Santa was sick.
There’d be no friendly visit from jolly St. Nick.
People were sad; no gaiety sounded.
For Christmas had come,
but Santa was grounded.
He walked down the street,
but what should he see
On a small sign was printed, Russell Brokstein, D.C.
Dr. Brokstein took Santa’s temp before being seen
Protecting his patients and staff was most important you see
Santa had to wear a mask
and distance himself from his reindeers
Yes we were cautious but he walked around the office for a look see
Were we following CDC protocols, wiping down tables, distancing patients and using masks as meant to be
Yes, he proclaimed and seemed very pleased
Now Santa was not one to like a new tactic,
But all else had failed, so he’d try Chiropractic.
He entered the office and saw at a glance
In place such as this illness hasn’t a chance.
For all were smiling; the music was classical and snappy.
With all the patients contented and happy.
In a very short time, to judge by the clock.
He was in the adjusting room, talking to Doc.
“It must be the hurry, the tension and all.
I simply can’t seem to get on the ball.
Life used to be easy, just bring lots of toys from the North Pole.
Now I dodge viruses, social discourse and too many that feel alone.”
“And Doc, take a look at the size of this pack!”
“Have you any idea what it does to my back?”
Poor Santa was miserable, just barely able
With the help of Dr. Russell to get to the table.
Doctor Russell was gentle. Without fuss or tussle
He examined the vertebrae and relaxed the muscle.
He spotted the trouble, and then with a click,
Started aligning the ailing St. Nick.
And Santa felt aches and pains slipping away.
In no time at all his back and hips began to sway.
The air was a tingle with a new fallen snow,
And a healthy Kris Kringle was rarin’ to go.
As he went out the door, he threw all a kiss
Why, it has been centuries since he’d felt as good as this!
Then once more he shouldered the bagfull of toys,
His heart overflowing with true Christmas joys,
From Dr. Russell and Jen

Are You Getting the Full Benefits of Chiropractic Care?
Not many people know the full benefits of chiropractic care. Unfortunately, most people just go to a chiropractor for neck or back pain, sciatica or other types of pain. Then when the symptoms are gone, they stop care. If that is you, you are not receiving the all of the benefits of chiropractic care: getting pressure off your nervous system to allow your body to function at its best and to stay health naturally.
This morning I saw a post on FB by a future chiropractor, Dean Peters. I want to share it with you and the picture he posted below. I hope this helps you get the real idea of what we are doing when you come to the chiropractor:
“Holy 💩! ⚡️
THOUGHT FLASH ⚡️
What do you do when a light goes out in your house…I flipped the switch on and off a few times! Did that work?
❌NOPE! Still didn’t come on”!
What next you ask?
I changed the light bulb 💡in hopes that I’d see the light! Did that work?
❌NOPE!
What next?
So I tried another lightbulb💡! Did that work?
❌NOPE!
What next?!
I went to the Master Control Center and discovered it was a simple breaker that had tripped!
I toggled the switch back on and God said, “Let there be light☀️!”
Let me land the plane for you🛬…when your body is suffering from symptoms such as fever, numbness, tingling, coughing, sneezing, hypertension etc….at what point are you going to make the decision to 🛑STOP living in the dark, and go straight to the circuit breaker AKA your Master Control Center 🧠 (YOUR BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM) and discover if the breaker has tripped?!
Quit thinking you need more lightbulbs(AKA-medications that mask symptoms) and get to the root cause of the issue! Go to the doctor that knows how to get to the root cause, not the one that wants to simply suppress symptoms. Medication cannot create health, removing interference within your nervous system does. One life to live in this vessel, treat it well.
This. Is. Chiropractic! Doctors of chiropractic are specifically trained to locate, analyze, and annihilate vertebral subluxations that are preventing you from living at 100%. If there was pressure on your nervous system, how soon would you want to know about it?!”
Are you ready now to experience all the amazing benefits of chiropractic care?
In our society, people wait until they have symptoms, yet the symptoms are the last sign of a problem. These problems have been building over time, many times from the time you are born! They won’t go away over night. To make it more difficult, patients come in thinking one chiropractic visit is going to fix the years of abuse to the spine and nervous system. Then patients stop coming in when the symptoms are gone rather than do maintenance visits.
I bet you bring your car in for maintenance so it doesn’t break down, or have HVAC come in once or twice a year to make sure your heater and AC are working, or most of you surely go to the dentist once or twice a year to make sure your teeth are healthy yet at least your teeth can be replaced. You are born with one spine and nervous system so why not take care of it?
It is your body and your choice to choose how you follow treatment, but why wouldn’t you want the best for your body and health? Why wouldn’t you want the best for your spouse, children, family and friends? Chiropractic is the leading natural healthcare provider in the world. Optimizing your body’s ability to function the way it is meant to.
On your first visit in our office, we do a computerized spinal exam that shows each level of the spine and where there is pressure on the nerves. I always use the analogy of the circuit breaker system in your house and how it relates to your nervous system.
Pressure on nerves at any level can affect function and lead to different symptoms. Chiropractors adjust your spine to get pressure off those nerves. It’s that simple 🙂
Share what chiropractic is really about! People need to know it’s not about pain relief. We can change the US health system by getting more people to choose chiropractic over popping medications that just mask symptoms and have a snowballing effect of side effects. We have been educating and helping people in Freehold and neighboring towns of Marlboro, Manalapan, Colts Neck, Jackson, Howell and many other nearby cities for over 15 years.
