Many women seek  pregnancy back pain relief

pregnancy.  During pregnancy, the mother is experiencing many body changes.  As the baby grows, it is putting more pressure on the pelvis and lower back.  The supporting structures of the spine are taking on more strain.  As pregnancy is nearing the end, the ligaments are stretching and pelvis is expanding to prepare for delivery.  Fortunately pain relief is attainable by going to a chiropractor.

More Obgyns are realizing they can’t recommend pain medications.  They are recommending their patients to see a chiropractor for pregnancy back pain relief.  During pregnancy women can’t take the medications most would take when they are in pain.  The medications have many harmful side effects not only to the mother, but to the growing baby.  Anything the mother ingests is passed on to the baby.  Chiropractors analyze the cause of the pain and using gentle chiropractic adjusting techniques, as well as therapeutic stretching, can provide relief.

One of our patients recently was referred to us by her friend after her Obgyn recommended she try chiropractic.  She was experiencing worsening pain and she came to our freehold chiropractic office for pregnancy back pain relief.  Click below to watch her story on how she was helped:

Natural Hip Pain Relief

March 31, 2013 by 4 Comments

Natural hip pain relief is available for those who really want it.  Hip pain is suffered by a large part of the population.  The pain can be caused by

It’s important to find the cause of your hip pain.

many sources.    For some it’s due to athletics and injuries.  Others it can be from a trip or fall.  It can even be radiating from the lower back.  The elderly are a big portion of those who suffer with hip pain.  This pain can get severe for the patient to need a cane or walker to get around.  If not treated properly the joint will degenerate and possibly need surgery.  The quality of life is altered because not many normal daily activities can be performed.

It’s important for a practitioner to analyze all areas.  Too many times medical doctors look at the point of pain and miss the true cause.  For hip pain it is so important to look at the arches of the feet, ankles, knees, and alignment of the pelvis and spine.  Other times the hip problem can be causing low back pain or knee pain.  Chiropractic takes a different approach at providing relief to patients suffering with pain.  Chiropractors find the cause and using specific chiropractic adjustments give natural hip pain relief.

Using various diagnostics from orthopedic tests, range of motion, flexibility testing of the hamstrings, quadriceps and piriformis muscles, and possibly x-rays, a chiropractor can help patients suffering with hip pain.  This treatment is aimed at correcting the underlying imbalances that are causing the pain.  A large percentage of sufferers can obtain natural hip pain relief with chiropractic care.

Watch the following video of one of our patients who had hip and back pain so bad that she couldn’t walk around without a walker or cane.  Her medical doctors wanted to use cortisone which she didn’t want to have.  She not only received natural hip pain relief, but relief of her low back pain by visiting our Freehold Chiropractic office:

Natural Sciatica Pain Relief

March 3, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Natural sciatica pain relief is sought by many people.  Sciatica is a condition suffered by many people.

chiropractor freehold Natural Sciatica Pain Relief

Sciatica can travel from the low back, down the thigh, to beyond the knee and into the feet.

It is due to irritation of a group of nerves from the low back.  People can present with numbness and tingling into the thigh, around the knee, to the calf and even extending down into the feet or toes.

Too many times patients seek care of an orthopedic doctor that just will prescribe medications.  Medications at most will mask the symptoms of the sciatica.  This can be dangerous as the underlying cause of the sciatica will most likely get worse.  There are also a list of severe side effects of all these medications which are far from natural sciatica pain relief.  Other times they will recommend physical therapy.  Some types of therapy will give temporary relief.  This can be in the form of electric stimulation, ultrasound, icing, or stretching.  None of these types of treatments correct the cause of the sciatica.

To give you an analogy to the above that you are more familiar with, lets look at your teeth.  If you have a cavity or toothache, you go the dentist.  If he just gave you a shot of Novocaine, you would feel a little better.  He could ice your mouth which would numb it for a short time.  Maybe use a laser.  Prescribe some pain medication.  But all of these would be temporary!  You would be wondering why your dentist wasn’t cleaning out the cavity and fixing it.

Natural sciatica pain relief is simple to find.  Chiropractors find the cause of the irritation to the sciatic nerve.  Once we find the cause, we use gentle chiropractic techniques to adjust the area to remove the pressure from the nerve.

Watch the following video of one of our patients who was suffering from sciatica and knee pain.  Her medical doctors wanted to use cortisone which she didn’t want to have.  She not only received natural sciatica pain relief, but relief of her knee pain and daily stresses by visiting our Freehold Chiropractic office:

Natural Headache Relief

February 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Natural headache relief is a hot topic but many people still just cover up the symptoms temporarily.  Those seeking over the counter or prescribed medications for headaches are getting at best temporary relief of the headache.  But long term use of these medications ends up leading to many

Natural Headache Relief

side effects ranging from internal bleeding, stroke, digestive issues and yes… even headaches!

A true way to take care of headaches and migraines is finding the cause of the headache.  A large percentage of headaches are caused by subluxations or misalignements of the spinal bones called vertebra.  When these bones move out of place, they put pressure on the nerves.  This leads to many symptoms, including headaches or migraines.

A chiropractor is the only doctor trained to detect and correct subluxations.  The majority of headaches are caused by subluxations of the neck.  Using gentle chiropractic adjustments has a high success rate in providing natural headache relief.  An added benefit is that there are no harmful side effects of getting adjusted.

Watch one of our patients at Hometown Family Wellness Center located in Freehold, NJ explain her story of suffering with headaches and how she was helped by chiropractic:

If you are sick and tired of popping medications for headaches and would like natural headache relief, contact our office.  We have been helping provide natural headache relief for over 14 years.  Call our office at 732-780-0044 to schedule an exam and consultation.  Using state of the art computerized myovision analysis, we can show you if subluxations in your neck are a possible cause of your headaches.  Then Dr. Russell Brokstein, chiropractor and owner at Hometown Family Wellness Center, will guide you with a chiropractic treatment plan to help you regain your headache free lifestyle.

Neck Pain Relief .. What you need to know!

January 30, 2013 by Leave a Comment

How many of you have woken up with neck pain, or after a long day of work felt pain shooting down the neck causing arm pain or even headaches?  Have you ever had a car accident that resulted in neck pain?  I would bet almost every one reading this has had neck pain at one time or another.  The question is where to get the best neck pain relief.

chiropractor freehold Neck Pain Relief .. What you need to know!

Who hasn’t suffered with neck pain?

Well it’s very important not to ignore the pain!  Pain is the last symptom to show up when you have a problem.  Many think it will just go away on its own.  Or others will just pop a pill which just masks the symptoms.. oh and don’t forget the load of side effects!

An important thing to realize, pain is just like a cavity… you can have one without knowing it and when the pain is finally there and you call the dentist, that cavity has progressed so far that the decay is so bad you need that much more work.  And we all know the more work you need the more expensive it is.  The last thing you want the dentist to do is just give you a pill or inject it with Novocaine.  You want the dentist to fix the cavity or it will keep getting worse.

If you treat your neck pain the same by waiting or just going to the doctor and getting pain medications or muscle relaxers, you might get temporary relief, but the underlying cause will keep getting worse.  Ever notice when you have pain return months or years down later, it is usually worse each time?  It can even start spreading down into the shoulders, arms and hands.  The joints and bones also will decay more quickly which will restrict your normal daily activities.

This is why it’s so important to have a qualified doctor to examine and find the cause of the neck pain.  The only doctor that specializes in the spine and finding the cause of your neck pain is a chiropractor.  You do not only get neck pain relief, but you also get the problem corrected.  Most chiropractors will also give you guidance on how to prevent neck pain in the future.

Watch the video below of a patient seeking neck pain relief:

If you would like to get neck pain relief and correct what is causing the pain without harmful drugs and prevent the possibility of surgery down the road, consult with a local chiropractor.  If you live in the Freehold, NJ area, contact our office or find out more information:  click here

Headache Relief Without Harmful Medications!

January 23, 2013 by Leave a Comment

So many people suffer unnecessarily with headaches or migraines and seek headache relief with medications.  These medications at best just mask the symptoms of the headache but can result in a long list of side effects.  Some migraine medications even have the side effect of headaches…one

chiropractor freehold Headache Relief Without Harmful Medications!

Natural headache relief without harmful medications

time I talked to a medical physician who explained to me that at least the side effect headaches aren’t as severe as migraines.

From my perspective, why should you suffer with headaches and the many side effects of these drugs.  Wouldn’t it make more sense to find the cause of the headaches and correct it?

This is what chiropractic does!  Over 80% of headaches are due to subluxations or misalignments of the neck which are putting pressure on the nerves.  We use technology in our office that analyzes your spine to tell us where the pressure is occurring and imbalances of the supporting muscles.  Then we further evaluate the region of the neck for restrictions in the neck that is causing the pressure on nerves.  After a complete evaluation we are able to use chiropractic techniques to adjust the neck, removing pressure from the nerves and providing natural headache relief without the harmful side effects of the medications.

Dr. Russell Brokstein, chiropractor and owner of Hometown Family Wellness Center in Freehold, NJ has been providing headache relief for patients  suffering with headaches for over 14 years.  Watch the following video to see one of our patients explain how chiropractic helped provide headache relief:

Do you or somebody you know suffer with headaches or migraines?  Make sure you share this blog with others so they can be helped naturally by a chiropractor without drugs or surgery. Too many people suffer needlessly with headaches and the dangerous side effects of the medications they ingest.  Chiropractic helps find the cause of the problem and corrects the cause to provide headache relief and allow people like Katlin to get back to work and enjoy their normal daily activities.

Vertigo Secret to Relief?

January 15, 2013 by Leave a Comment

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.

chiropractor freehold Vertigo Secret to Relief?

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.

Scoliosis and Neck Pain Helped by Freehold NJ Chiropractor

December 28, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Scoliosis is an abnormal curve of the spine that occurs in 2 to 3% of the population, affecting from 6 to 9 million Americans.  Scoliosis starts developing around 7 years of age and progresses to around the age of 17.  Females are more likely to present with scoliosis, especially for it to progress to severe degrees.  Many people with scoliosis are asymptomatic, but many experience back pain, neck pain, headaches, fatigue, difficulty breathing and other problems.  Symptoms are the last thing to show up with a problem and you are more safe to be checked to prevent problems from getting worse, just like most people go to a dentist periodically to get their teeth and gums checked.  You would never tell the dentist to not worry about a cavity he finds just because there is no pain.  You  know that cavity will just get worse and cost more money if you wait.

There are several signs of possible scoliosis:chiropractor freehold Scoliosis and Neck Pain Helped by Freehold NJ Chiropractor

1)  shoulders are uneven with one or both shoulder blades sticking out

2)  one or both hips are raises or one rotated forward/backward more than the other

3)  the head is not centered over the pelvis

4)  the rib cage is rotated and higher on one side than the other

5)  when the person leans forward to touch the toes, one side of the spine is more prominent or a bulge forms

6)  the entire body leans to one side

Most medical doctors say the scoliosis is insignificant if the curve is less than 25 degrees, but anytime the spine is misaligned it puts pressure on the nerves which control all functions of the body.  This will not only cause pain, but can affect your breathing, your digestion and other normal body functions.  If the scoliosis reaches 50 degrees or more they recommend invasive surgery where they cut away parts of your spinal bones and then insert rods that are locked into place restricting the entire motion of your spine.  If you get to this point, many of your normal daily activities will no longer be allowed.  Just think if your spine was just one long fused bone, rather than the 24 movable vertrebra of the neck, thoracic and lumbar spine.

Watch the video below of one of our patients explain about her experience with scoliosis.  She unfortunately was told she had to get the surgery many years ago, and now experiences neck pain and periodic back pain.

At our office, Hometown Family Wellness Center located in Freehold, NJ, we have seen many patients who were never told their alternative options to avoid surgery.  Fortunately as we educate many parents, they bring their kids in to get checked as infants thru adolescence to get adjusted to help adjust their spines.  Chiropractic has been one of the most successful forms of treatment in helping patients who have scoliosis.  Chiropractors analyze the spine for spinal misalignments or subluxations that put pressure on nerves and decrease optimal health.

Sciatica Helped by Freehold Chiropractor

December 22, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Most people experience low back pain at one time or another.  Unfortunately many wait too long to have it corrected or just cover it up with medications that just give temporary relief.  Just like a cavity can progressively get worse, the underlying cause of the back pain degenerates and can develop into bulging or herniated discs and also a condition called sciatica.

Sciatica is a condition that refers to pain or discomfort associated with the sciatic nerve. The nerve runs from the lumbar spine, down the back of the chiropractor freehold Sciatica Helped by Freehold Chiropractorleg, to the foot.  Injury to or pressure on the sciatic nerve can cause the characteristic pain of sciatica: a sharp or burning pain that radiates from the lower back or hip, possibly following the path of the sciatic nerve all the way down to the foot.  Some people describe a feeling of burning, sharp pain or even pins and needles into the foot.

There can be several causes of sciatica.  Many times the bones of the lumbar spine will misalign or subluxate, putting pressure on the nerve.  Many instances when the bones stay subluxated the discs start to generate or trauma can cause the disc to bulge or herniate further putting pressure on the sciatica nerve.  Another common cause of sciatica is when a muscle called the piriformis gets tight or goes into spasm and puts pressure on the nerve resulting in sciatica.  Also, the feet can be misaligned or have dropped arches which cause the feet to pronate or supinate.  This misalignment of the feet can cause rotation of the knees and hips resulting in an imbalance of the lumbar and pelvic regions and that can add to the pressure on the sciatic nerve.

Following is a video of one of our patients who was having sciatica as well as back pain resulting from disc problems:

In our office, Hometown Family Wellness Center,  Dr. Russell Brokstein addresses the cause of your condition.  When it comes to sciatica it’s important to find a chiropractor that not only addresses the subluxations in the spine, but also the imbalances in the muscles of the legs and the misalignments in the ankles, feet and knees.  If these other areas aren’t addressed, the subluxations will most likely keep occurring along with the pain associated with sciatica.  Chiropractic has a high success rate in correcting the cause of sciatica and this is done without medications that can results in many dangerous side effects.

Anti-Aging Review by Chiropractor in Freehold NJ

November 7, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Many people are always looking for ways to hold back the hands of time, looking for the secrets to anti-aging.  There are so many ways to live longer and live better.  We know about eating healthy, exercising, and of course reducing stress, but there are some other very important factors in slowing down the aging process.

I have been a chiropractor in practice for over 14 years and I am always get asked, “excuse me, where is the doctor” or better yet most recently I had a chiropractor freehold Anti Aging Review by Chiropractor in Freehold NJpatient say to me, but Dr. Russell it’s so much easier for somebody your age than myself.”  Interestingly in the second case, I am a little older than that patient and he was shocked.

Yes, for me I choose a healthy lifestyle as mentioned above but I also incorporate other KEY factors at staying and looking younger than most my age.  I want to share with you some of these important factors of anti-aging and how I try to help my patients with them too.

1) Everything we eat, breath and drink has chemicals and is toxic to the body.  This toxicity increases the acidity levels of the body.  Most bacteria, viruses and even cancers thrive in an acidic environment.  Another important thing to note is that the more toxic your body is, the more it stores body fat.  In the US, overweight and obesity is running rampant.  People run to Weight Watchers, LA Weight Loss and other programs with little to no success and it’s because they are not addressing the real cause of being overweight.  By counting calories, you will initially lose weight, but the toxins become more concentrated and therefore tells the body to start storing more body fat.  This leads to the yo-yo affect of losing weight, then gaining it right back.  Sound familiar?  Well in our office we address toxicity by doing a full body cellular cleanse and nutritional program.  Our patients average 5 to 15lbs weight loss on our 11 Day Body Transformation program and 22 to 28lbs weight loss on our 30 day program.  Weight Loss and cleansing is so important in maintaining health and anti-aging

2)  So many people consume caffeine in coffee and energy drinks as well as many products with refined carbohydrates or sugars.  Caffeine and refined carbohydrates lead to adrenal fatigue and adrenal failure.  You have glands in your body called adrenal glands that help regulate the 4 main hormones of the body:  adrenaline, norepenephrine, cortisol and DHEA.  When these hormones are off balance it can lead to heart conditions, digestive problems, immune problems, allergies, immune problems, arthritic problems, fatigue, increased stress, loss of sleep, depression, insomnia, anxiety, weight problems, diabetes, PMS, menopause, libido problems and even fertility problems.  Caffeine also dehydrates the body, which will age the body more quickly.

3) Science has proven that part of your genes determine your aging!  There are strands of repeated nucleotides that end the strands of your DNA.. these are called telomerase.  Telomerase is an error correcting process that assists cellular reproduction to make sure that new cells are exactly like the ones they are replacing.  The problem is that as we age, the length of the strands shorten and this is why organisms age and die.  A great analogy ischiropractor freehold Anti Aging Review by Chiropractor in Freehold NJ if you photocopy a copy over and over, the quality of the copy decreases.  Research is focusing on the protection and repair of the telomerase to slow down or even reverse human aging.  Recently I found a supplement that supports telomere health by combining scientific breakthroughs in telomere support and the benefits of antioxidants in youthful aging. Product B helps maintain youthful function of cells and healthy telomeres so you can live a longer, healthier life.  To find out more about this product or to order, click here:  Product B!  Product B helps maintain youthful function of cells and healthy telomeres, helps protect the body from harmful free radicals that can accelerate aging and contribute to poor health, targets the sources of aging, such as oxidative stress.

4) Chiropractic is such an important aspect of improving the quality of life and maintaining health.  We know the nervous system controls all functions of the body.  Activities of daily living, stress and traumas cause or spine to subluxate or misalign therefore putting pressure on the nerves and spinal cord.  When this happens it disrupts the functions of the body, we get malfunction of the organs, tissues and cells.  If this is allowed to progress we develop disease and finally symptoms.  Waiting for symptoms to evolve is the worst form of health care.  By going to a chiropractor, you improve your natural health and function naturally without harmful drugs or surgery.  This natural form of health care improves your quality of living, reduces stress, and helps you live and more healthy longer life.

In our office, Hometown Family Wellness Center located in Freehold, NJ, we help our patients live longer by warding off illness and live better through improvement in diet and lifestyle.  Nobody wants to spend the last decades of life in misery.  Every day of every year should be filled with life, laughter and happiness with promise and pain free.  Fitness, nutrition, positive mental attitude and regular chiropractic care all have key roles to play in the equation of anti-aging.  This is our multi-pronged approach to help you and other patients!
