Freehold NJ Chiropractor Reviews The Full Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Freehold NJ Chiropractor, Dr. Russell Brokstein of Hometown Family Wellness Center, reviews the full benefits of chiropractic care.

While reading posts on facebook, I saw a great picture that summed up how chiropractic can help you and anybody else who is searching to be healthy without drugs or surgery.

Most people seek chiropractic care when they are in pain, whether it be neck pain, lower back pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, numbness and tingling, headaches and migraines, post accident injuries, fibromyalgia and other conditions. This is just is just a small percentage of people that could be helped.

Chiropractors remove pressure from the nervous system. It is this system that controls all functions of the body. Through daily stresses, the vertebra in the spine can misalign and put pressure on the nerves. When this happens we get dysfunction, disease and symptoms. By adjusting the vertebra to remove the pressure, chiropractors correct the underlying cause of symptoms therefore improving health and function.

View the picture to the right and see different conditions that chiropractic can help you reduce and other areas that chiropractic improves. By being under chiropractic care, you improve your overall health and wellness all without the use of drugs and surgery. Think how this can improve your relationships with your family and friends as well as improve your activities of daily living. You can live once again!

Dr. Russell Brokstein has been providing patients chiropractic care for over 14 years. He opened Hometown Family Wellness Center in Freehold, NJ in May of 2005 to provide natural health and wellness to the community he grew up in.

Neck Pain is Associated with Whiplash and Auto Accidents

Neck pain is the most common symptom reported after an auto accident with around 90% of victims reporting the pain. During the crash, your body moves with the seat but your head and neck lag behind. This difference in motion results in injury. The spine is vulnerable to sprain and strain from sheer forces from the head and body moving in different directions. This sheering action can stretch or tear the ligaments, tendons and discs of your spine causing nerve impingement, pain, swelling and scar tissue. The neck pain can radiate into the shoulder, arm and hands. Other related symptoms to whiplash are headaches, dizziness, numbness and tingling in the upper extremity, visual disturbances and concussion. Research has found that up to 20% of patients can have pain even 10 years after an accident.

If you have been injured in a crash, chiropractic can help. Research shows chiropractic is more effective in both the long and short term than medical treatment or home exercise. (Spinal manipulation, medication, or home exercise with advice for acute and subacute neck pain: a randomized trial.) Chiropractic improves range of motion, reduces and prevents scar tissue and corrects the cause of the pain. Medication at best temporarily covers up the symptoms but also has the risk of serious side effects.

Also the earlier chiropractic care starts can help prevent the development of chronic pain and scar tissue. (Early intervention in whiplash-associated disorders: a comparison of two treatment protocols.) Unfortunately, many times people don’t experience pain or other symptoms immediately after the accident so they do not get checked. Weeks, months and even years later, pain occurs and the patient has no idea it is from the past accident. Make sure you get a thorough examination by a chiropractor that has experience working with auto injuries and whiplash.

Neck Pain and Shoulder Pain Relief at Freehold NJ Chiropractor

Everybody has that neck pain and sometimes shoulder pain that occurs. Stress, tension, daily activities like sitting at a computer, slouching, carrying a heavy pocket book or briefcase, work activities, as well as typing or sleeping incorrectly on your side or stomach can cause the bones in the neck and back to misalign. When this happens you get pressure on the nerves, joint dysfunction, and possibly damage to the discs. If left long term, degeneration can occur very similar to leaving a cavity without treatment.

Taking medication for the pain only temporarily covers up the symptoms. This can be dangerous as it gives you false security that the problem is fixed. The underlying cause of the pain is still present and the next time the pain presents itself it is usually worse as well as the actual cause of the symptoms.

As a chiropractor in Freehold, NJ, I see many patients who present with neck pain and shoulder pain. I do a thorough evaluation to explain to you what is the cause of your problem and how we will actually correct it. A chiropractic treatment plan, as well as home exercise and nutritional guidance is important to incorporate to obtain correction. For over 14 years we continue to successfully get results patients are happy with so they can once again enjoy their normal daily activities without the harmful side effects of NSAIDs, pain medications and other pills.

Watch the video of one of our patients as he explains his problem and how he was helped:

Chiropractor Freehold NJ Reviews by Patient with Childhood Asthma and Back Pain

People suffer daily with asthma, bronchitis and other breathing restrictions on a daily basis. They turn to medications and inhalers that at best give temporary relief but don’t address the underlying cause of the condition. Everything in your body is controlled by the nervous system and that includes your lungs. If there is pressure on the nerves that regulate breathing, the lungs can NOT function at 100%. This goes for all functions and health of the body as everything is controlled by the nervous system.

Following is a video of one of our patients who was born with an asthmatic condition until he was 2 years old at which point the medical doctors told his parents he would be in and out of the hospitals for this condition. Fortunately his parents were seeing a chiropractor who explained to them how chiropractic can help. Watch the rest of his story as he reviews how chiropractic has helped him since his childhood asthma, when he gets back pain, and that his entire family is under chiropractic care to maintain health and wellness:

Results like this are seen by patients who go for chiropractic care. My name is Dr. Russell Brokstein, owner and chiropractor at Hometown Family Wellness Center in Freehold, NJ. I had a similar experience in that I played competitive soccer and during high school I would have severe coughing attacks. The doctors my parents brought me to said it was a bronchial condition and they would just try different inhalers til one worked. Not one gave me any relief of these attacks and when I went to college, the attacks got worse and to the point that I had bronchitis every 6 to 8 weeks for my 4 years there. Upon deciding to go to chiropractic college as I wanted to help patients be healthy without drugs and surgery, I received my first chiropractic adjustment in 1994. Since then not only have I not had any bronchial attacks, but from getting chronic colds as a child and teenager, I rarely if ever have a cold. My immune system is stronger and therefore my body fights more efficiently.

If you know somebody that suffers with asthma, other breathing problems, or gets sick chronically, share this information with them. You can find out more about our freehold chiropractic office by going to www.ChiropractorFreehold.com or call for a consultation at 732-780-0044.

Vertigo Secret to Relief?

Have you ever experienced dizziness or a lack of balance? Do you have ringing in your ears? Do you have a difficult time performing your daily activities or even just walking or standing in place because of these symptoms? If so you might be suffering from a condition called vertigo.

Vertigo is suffered by 20 to 30% of the population

Twenty to thirty percent of the population suffers with vertigo most people don’t know where to turn to for resolution of this condition.

Many people suffer needlessly with vertigo. They go from one medical doctor and specialists to another, but rarely find the cause of the problem, then are put on different medications to see if one of them “hopefully” work. The reason this approach fails time and time again, not only for vertigo but for most health symptoms is that medical care is symptom based rather than finding the cause of the problem. If you are lucky, you might get some symptomatic relief, but each medication has a long list of harmful side effects.

Chiropractic takes a different approach. A chiropractor analyzes your spine which protects the most important system that controls all functions of the body = your nervous system. In the case of vertigo, the majority of the time the vertebra at the top of the neck are impinging on the nerves that result in ringing in the ears, dizziness, lack of balance and even other symptoms like headaches, insomnia, high blood pressure, chronic tiredness, sinus troubles, ear aches and allergies. After doing a consultation and examination, a chiropractor can determine if misalignment of the vertebra or subluxations are a possible cause of your vertigo. Using specific chiropractic techniques, we then correct the subluxation to remove the pressure from the nerves that are likely causing the symptoms of not only vertigo but the others listed above.

One of our patients was suffering for months with vertigo and fortunately found the answer to her condition when she found our practice while doing a search on the internet. Listen to her story and experience getting vertigo relief with chiropractic:

If you or somebody you know suffers with vertigo, share this information with them. It can help them avoid needlessly suffering from this condition any longer so they can once again enjoy their normal daily activities.
