Freehold Chiropractor Discusses Health Risks & Dangers Verse Safety of Chiropractic

January 16th, 2010 by thedoc

Dr. Russell Brokstein of Hometown Family Wellness Center in Freehold NJ answers a lot of questions from residents in his town and neighboring towns of Marlboro, Manalapan, Howell, Jackson and Colts Neck, NJ about the risks and safety of Chiropractic care.  It seems to be a huge question brought up time and time again and has been on the news a lot lately.  Everyone knows that insurance companies are NOT in the business of losing money. So, if chiropractic was dangerous, costly, or risky in any way whatsoever, do you think I would be paying around $1500 a YEAR for the best coverage you can get? Chiropractic malpractice insurance is less than most people pay for auto insurance.  If only everyone knew how incredibly safe and effective chiropractic care is - they would understand why chiropractors pay the least amount of ALL primary care doctors.

? According to Marcel J. Hernandez, ND, who directs the wellness program at American Western insurers are discovering that offering an alternative health insurance program actually lowers medical bills,

? Nearly across the board, there are fewer complications, side effects, and costly, unexpected medical outcomes with Chiropractic procedures.

On The other hand people need to realize where the risks lie:

  • An estimated 2 billion prescriptions are written for people in the U.S. every year-earning $49 billion for the pharmaceutical industry.
  • A 13-year study by the U.S. Office of Public Health found 2/3 of all over-the-counter drugs do not do what the manufacturers report.*
  • 190,000 deaths per year were results of drug toxicity and 300,000 deaths (the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S.) was from hospital acquired (iatrogenic) infections. (This from the Vital Statistics Report from the National Center For Health Statistics in Washington, D.C.)

There are 8.8 million prescribed drug related hospitalizations costing $47 billion annually. 28% of hospital admissions are due to prescribed drugs side effects.**

So…Chiropractic has the lowest malpractice rate of all primary health care!! If you want real health insurance, put your trust and dollars in Chiropractic. That’s where the future of your health lies.

Back Pain Relief: The Best Treatment is?

December 30th, 2009 by thedoc

Did you know that the government actually recognizes that chiropractic is the best treatment choice for low back pain?

The famous RAND group did a study headed by Dr. Paul Shekelle, MD in 1992.  It found chiropractic care to be the most cost-effective treatment for low back pain?

The study marked the first time that representatives of this prestigious group had officially recognized spinal manipulation as an appropriate treatment for patients with lower back pain.

“For patients with acute low-back symptoms without radiculopathy, the scientific evidence suggests spinal manipulation is effective in reducing pain and perhaps speeding recovery within the first month of symptoms.” - Clinical Practice Guidelines, AHCPR (1994)

“There is strong evidence that manipulation is more effective than a placebo treatment for chronic low-back pain or than usual care by the general practitioner, bed rest, analgesics and massage.” - Spine, Van Tulder and Bouter et al. (1997)

“…improvement in all patients at three years was about 29% more in those treated by chiropractors than in those treated by the hospitals. The beneficial effect of chiropractic on pain was particularly clear.” - British Medical Journal, Meade et al. (1995)

“Manipulative therapy and physiotherapy are better than general practitioner and placebo treatment. Furthermore, manipulative therapy is slightly better than physiotherapy after 12 months.” - British Medical Journal, Koes et al. (1992)

Most people know chiropractors are good at correcting back pain problems but few people know why. It’s all about correcting the cause of the back pain - removing subluxations and nerve interference in your low back and spine. This allows your low back and everything attached to those nerves to function properly without pain. If only people knew that masking their problems with drugs does nothing to correct their problems and actually allows the problem to progressively get worst:  it would be similar to go to a dentist for a painful cavity, but just having the doctor shoot Novocain to get rid of the pain, but not treat the cavity.  Plus, all the side effects of those medications.
So, if you have back pain, doesn’t it makes sense to get checked by Chiropractors that find the cause of the problem and get the best results?

Freehold Chiropractor, Dr. Russell Brokstein, Discusses Health Care Reform

November 26th, 2009 by thedoc

Dr. Russell Brokstein, chiropractor and owner of Hometown Family Wellness Center,  educates the local communities of Freehold, Howell, Marlboro, Manalapan, Colts Neck and Jackson, NJ about health and wellness.

Dr. Russell notes health care reform is a major topic and concern these days.  Our government and many people feel it is the right of Americans to have health insurance. I would like to know your viewpoint on this. I believe health is a responsibility that most people take advantage of. By taking advantage, why is it the right of the people to then have our government and population pay for treatment they need to take care of their neglect.  Where do people think this money is coming from?

As long as people keep making bad daily health decisions, health will deteriorate.  Whether it be smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee and other caffeine beverages, sugar filled drinks, fast food, most foods with poor nutrition, not working out, the list goes on and on… our body will break down and start presenting with symptoms.

Sick care is very costly and our society treats it with expensive drugs and surgery which in most cases at best cover up symptoms and lead to future problems that need more drugs and surgery, setting up a vicious cycle.

When it comes to our automobiles and many appliances, we know maintenance is key to sustaining the performance of these objects.  Many of these, we take better care of, yet we only keep them 5 to 10 years.  We know if we put low quality fuel into our cars, the mileage will decrease, the engine will begin to have problems and costs will increase in fixing the car.

Well, our bodies are the same way.  As the old adage says:  You are what you eat!  As we eat low quality food, our tissues and organs break down and become unhealthy.  Daily we are introducing chemicals and toxins into our body thru what we eat, drink and breath.  These chemicals break down the body and make us ill.  What are you doing to clean out your filter system in your body?  Doesn’t your body that will last a lifetime deserve quality care more than your car?

I challenge all of you to reflect on how you would like to improve your health and prevent future health problems. By introducing the right programs and making your health a priority, you will notice a difference in how you feel, look, and enjoy life!  This is how to reform health care and reduce the costs of care.  I would like to be The health and wellness coach in the Freehold, Marlboro, Manalapan, Howell, Colts Neck and Jackson, NJ area to help YOU obtain optimum health and wellness in the new year!!!!  I will educate you on what to do, the programs to introduce better nutrition, remove toxins and chemicals, lose weight, and exercise to better health.  Are you ready for the challenge?
