Natural Sciatica Pain Relief

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:

Chiropractor in Freehold Reviews Stress and Your Health

Dr. Russell Brokstein, Chiropractor in Freehold, NJ reviews stress and how it affects your health.

Each week 95 million Americans suffer from stress related symptoms for which they take medications.  Stress is recognized as the number one killer as it results in many of the health conditions people suffer from.chiropractor freehold Chiropractor in Freehold Reviews Stress and Your Health  According to the AMA, stress is the cause of up to 80 to 85% of all human illness and disease.

Stress in humans results from interactions between people and their environment that are perceived as straining or exceeding their adaptive capacities and threatening their well-being.

There are drug-free solutions you need to know about:

1)  There are glands in your body called the adrenal glands.  They are also known as the stress glands.  They help regulate the 4 main hormones of the body:  adrenaline, norepenephrine, cortisol and DHEA.  When these hormones get thrown off balance, it can cause heart conditions, digestive issues (IBS, acid reflux, and colitis), allergies, sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, headaches, fibromyalgia, immune problems, arthritic conditions, skin conditions (eczema and psoraisis), diabetes, weight problems, PMS, menopuse, libido problems.. just to name a few.

Many people consume 2 products that destroy the adrenal glands:  caffeine (coffee) and refined carbohydrates (white breads, pastas and rice are examples).  By eliminating these products from consumption and using a proper adrenal support vitamin, the adrenal glands can be regulated properly so the body can handle stress and reduce the symptoms and diseases it can produce.

2) Internal and external stressors have been scientifically proven to contribute to many health conditions.

What is a Stressor?
A stressor is any biological, chemical, emotional or physical substance or factor that can cause temporary or permanent harm.Examples of common stressors can include:

  • Emotional (marriage, death, work)
  • Chemical (cigarette smoke, toxins)
  • Environmental (hayfever, grass, food)
  • Biological (cats, dust mites)

There is technology known as biofeedback stress reduction therapy which is an assessment and therapeutic tool used by practitioners to identify those substances causing stress on the body (stressors) and then corrects your body’s response so that future exposure to those substances no longer cause a stress response.  The therapy recalibrates the body’s response so that future exposure to the corresponding substances now allows the biofeedback measurements (and the body’s reactions) to fall within the acceptable parameters. Your body no longer feels overburdened or stressed by the stressors.

3) Every day our bodies are subjected to these stresses and stressors.  Along with physical stress, including traumas or accidents, chemical and chiropractor freehold Chiropractor in Freehold Reviews Stress and Your Healthemotional stress also cause spinal misalignments called vertebral subluxations.  These subluxations interfere with the nervous system which controls all functions and health of the body.  For the body to function optimally, it is important to remove all nerve interference.  The only health profession that corrects and optimizes nerve flow is chiropractic.  In our office, we use technology called Myovision which analyzes the imbalances of the nervous system to see how your body is functioning.

At Hometown Family Wellness Center in Freehold, NJ chiropractor Dr. Russell Brokstein examines and addresses all 3 of these areas to reduce the stress to your body so you can be optimally healthy without drugs and surgery.

Freehold NJ Chiropractor Reviews How Stress Affects Your Health and Body

Do you experience stress?  Do you know how stress affects your body?  Do you know stress comes in multiple forms:  physical or trauma, chemical and mental?

Stress is listed by the American Medical Association as the leading basic cause of more than 60% of all illness and disease.  It is known to be the cause chiropractor freehold Freehold NJ Chiropractor Reviews How Stress Affects Your Health and Bodyof many illnesses and symptoms ranging from high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, anxiety, ADD or ADHD, digestive problems like Chron’s, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and acid reflux, immune deficiency, allergies, headaches, musculoskeletal disorders, fibromyalgia, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, breathing problems and much more.

Stress can also lead to many addictions like smoking and alcohol and even lead to suicide.

Many people reach for different medications to fight many of these conditions and symptoms that result from stress.  Unfortunately most don’t realize the drugs are just covering up the symptoms and resulting in other symptoms due to side effects.  This is a vicious cycle currently used by most medical doctors in treating their patients.

Chiropractic takes a natural approach at addressing the cause of all of these conditions:  STRESS!

The nervous system coordinates all functions of the body and when under stress, the body has a difficult time regulating the organs, tissues and cells of the body.  The best method of correcting the problem is addressing the nervous system to bring it back to balance.  This is what chiropractic does for you!

Chiropractors work with your nervous system because it is like a circuit breaker system through which the spinal cord and nerves send their messages.  Messages from the brain go to all parts of your body via the spinal cord and at every level of your spine between the vertebra,  nerves go to their destination either a muscle, organ or other tissue of the body.  If the messages from the brain are uninterrupted, the body can handle stress more easily and function optimally to bring you natural health and wellness.  But due to the different daily stresses we experience from birth til death, the spinal bones that protect the nervous system can move out of place therefore interfering with the nerve messages and causing dysfunction, disease and symptoms.

Chiropractors detect and correct the misalignments (subluxations) of the spine by adjusting the vertebra to remove the nerve irritation which helps release muscular tension, increase circulation and improve function of the body.

Everybody experiences stress!  You have to learn to manage stress including exercise, proper nutrition, do activities you enjoy, meditate, get adequate sleep and most importantly get your spine checked and adjusted by a chiropractor.  Don’t wait for symptoms like headaches, digestive problems, daily aches and pains, high blood pressure, weight gain or other issues to show up as the symptoms are the last sign to show up.  Prevention and maintenance with chiropractic care helps keep stress at bay and your body functioning optimally to maintain your health and wellness so you can enjoy your family and normal daily activities.

In our Freehold NJ office, Hometown Family Wellness Center, we take a multi-pronged natural approach to reducing your stress and improving your health naturally.  With state of the art technology we will measure how your nervous system is functioning, what sensitivities you are experiencing due to stressors, and analyze how your adrenal glands are functioning.  Your adrenal glads are also called the stress glands as they regulate the 4 main hormones that help the body deal with stress.

Chiropractor in Freehold NJ Reviews 5 Important Pillars of Health

Everybody is always searching for the secret ingredient or pill to being healthy.  The great thing is being healthy is actually very simple if you follow the 5 important pillars of health.  If you make these a priority in your life, you can maintain optimal health and wellness without drugs and surgery much more easily:

1)  Exercsise -  it is so important to exercise and keep the body moving.  You do not have to be a gym buff, but just simply walking 20 to 30 minutes a day can do the trick.  Exercise strengthens the muscles including your heart, helps get oxygen to all of your tissues, keeps your joints moving, tones chiropractor freehold Chiropractor in Freehold NJ Reviews 5 Important Pillars of Healthmuscles which help burn more calories efficiently and therefore help to maintain or lose weight, improves self confidence and reduces stress.

2)  Quality Sleep – We all need the proper amount of sleep.  You can actually get not only too little sleep but too much sleep is unhealthy too.  Read the article: How Much Sleep Do We Really Need?  Sleep is when the body unwinds, decreases stress and does a lot of it’s healing.

3)  Positive mental attitude – Stress and negative thoughts are a major contributor to poor health.  Some statistics show that over 60% of health conditions are related to stress and negativity.  By reducing stress and being positive, your health will drastically improve.

4)  Nutrition -  You know the saying “You are what you eat!”  Our country has some of the worst eating habits:  fast food, large portions, refined carbs, processed foods.  Your body is a high performance machine that needs high quality foods.  By eating a well balanced diet, you will have more energy, it can help you sleep better, your body heal damage to tissues and organs, and maintain proper weight.  Obesity and diabetes are running rampant in the United States because of the dieting habits of the population.  Think of your car if you put in low grade fuel – the car has lower fuel efficiency, the engine starts to make noises, and the costs are higher to fix and maintain it.  Your body needs high quality fuel and deserves it to be healthy!

5)  Healthy Spine and Nervous System – This is the most important element to being healthy without drugs and surgery.  Every function of the body chiropractor freehold Chiropractor in Freehold NJ Reviews 5 Important Pillars of Healthrelies on the nervous system.  Right now your heart is beating, your lungs are breathing, your stomach is digesting, etc without you even having to think about it.  Your brain sends messages down your spinal cord and out every level of the spine thru nerves that goes to ever last organ, muscle, tissue and cell of the body.  As long as there is no interference to these messages, your body can function as close to 100% as allowed.  Unfortunately, due to physical, mental and chemical stresses from the time we are born thru adulthood, the bones that protect the spinal cord (the vertebra) can move out of place and put pressure on the nerves.  Just the slightest pressure on the nerve can decrease the message sent thru, decrease function and eventually result in disease and symptoms.  Many people realize when they get numbness and tingling in the hands or feet it is most likely due to a pinched nerve in the neck or low back, but imagine what happens in the mid to upper back if the nerves that go to the heart, lungs or stomach are pinched or any other of the nerves on the picture above left.  Do you think the heart can work at 100% if only 90% of the nerve flow is getting to the organ?  More importantly is you wouldn’t even have symptoms until around 30% or more impingement occurs.  This is why it is so important to have your spine and nervous system checked.  It also helps with the previous 4 pillars of health because if your nervous system is not working properly, it will decrease the benefits of your exercise, the nutrition you take in, your mental well being, and your sleep.

As a chiropractor in Freehold, NJ I address all 5 of these areas to help you get your health back naturally and maintain it for a healthy and happy lifestyle.  For the past 14 years I have been helping patients who have been dealing with health issues and the medical doctors have been prescribing one medication after another, performing expensive testing that many times provide no answer to the cause of the problem, and no end to the vicious spiraling decrease in health.  If you are ready to make your health a priority and top responsibility for you and your family, call our office Hometown Family Wellness Center, 9 Broadway,  at 732-780-0044 to schedule a consultation and go to our website to find out more information:  www.chiropractorfreehold.com.

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.

Fibromyalgia Sufferers Receive Hope from Freehold NJ Chiropractor

More people than ever are suffering with Fibromyalgia.  Did you know that 2.1 – 5.7% of all Americans have Fibromyalgia (1), AND that there is NO 100% reliable medical test to verify or diagnose this disorder?  (1) http://www.flash.net/~dwback/fibromyalgia.htm)

My name is Dr. Russell Brokstein, chiropractor and owner of Hometown Family Wellness Center located in Freehold, NJ.  I have been helping patients with Fibromyalgia for over 13 years.

Here are the facts: Diagnosis is difficult, the underlying cause of it is unknown, frequency, degree and location of pain vary from day to day, and treatment is focused on managing the symptoms. Many of the medications doctors are recommending (Lyrica, Cymbalta and Savella) have severe side effects and can be extremely dangerous.  At best they just give temporary relief, but the side effects prevent the patient from enjoying an active and healthy lifestyle.

Chiropractic has been shown to be an extremely effective way to manage symptoms by allowing the body to function normally after an adjustment. It all comes down to clearing the master system, the Nervous System! Did you know that chiropractic can help people with Fibromyalgia just by removing nervous system interference?

One common symptom found in Fibromyalgia sufferers are tender points.  These red dots represent tender points. “Tender points” refers to tenderness occurring in precise, localized areas, particularly the neck, spine, shoulders & hipschiropractor freehold Fibromyalgia Sufferers Receive Hope from Freehold NJ Chiropractor

On top of the tender points there are several Syndromes that often appear with FM:

Dr. Frederick Wolfe, a clinical professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, is a respected rheumatologist and a well-known investigator of Fibromyalgia.  Dr. Wolfe points out that chiropractic treatment helps FM patients

Source:  Frederick Wolfe, “The Fibromyalgia Problem,” Journal of Rheumatology 24,no.7(1997) 1247-49

Dr. Wolfe wrote “In our current series, we interviewed 81 FM patients and 81 control patients using a structured questionnaire. We asked patients to indicate if a drug or treatment had reduced their pain…Of interest is that chiropractic treatment scored among the most effective measures”

Source:  Wolfe F: The clinical syndrome of fibrositis. Am. J. Medicine 81 (suppl 3a):7-14, 1986

In our Freehold office, we not only analyze the traditional tender trigger points associated with Fibromyalgia, but we perform a state of the art computerized spinal exam that helps locate imbalances and pressure on the nerves and spinal cord.  This helps us locate the areas of the spine that are interfering with normal nerve impulses.  We take our analysis further by testing sensitivities and stress levels with biofeedback stress reduction.  Internal and external stress is known to cause many symptoms and illnesses including those syndromes common to Fibromyalgia.  The biofeedback technology measures the severity of the sensitivities, if they are acute or chronic, then using the treatment portion of the biofeedback uses positive reconditioning to balance the immune system.  Next we test the body for toxicity.  The more toxins and chemical build up in the body, the more sensitive the organs, muscles, tendons and ligaments.  Finally we examine the hormonal balance and with basic nutritional vitamin supplementation balance the adrenal glands.

Our unique, natural multi-pronged approach to health and wellness has helped many Fibromyalgia sufferers that no other doctors have been able to achieve results with.  We have been helping residents in Freehold, the surrounding towns of Marlboro, Morganville, Colts Neck, Manalapan, Howell, Jackson and other communities of Monmouth and Ocean County, New Jersey.  For more information on Dr. Russell Brokstein, go to our website at www.ChiropractorFreehold.com

Freehold Chiropractor Explains When Chiropractic Care Should Begin

When do you start going to the dentist?  Do you wait until you have pain or until your teeth start to decay?  Do you just want the dentist to shoot a cavity with Novocaine or do you want him to fix the decaying tooth?

When do you start going to the eye doctor?  Do you wait until your eyes deteriorate?  Do you wait until you have glaucoma and cataracts or do you do preventative measures?

How about your car?  Do you wait until it breaks down or do you bring it in for periodic maintenance?  How about an oil, lube and filter?

The biggest and most important question is when should you start to go to the chiropractor?

The saying “there is no time like the present,” is very true when applied to preventative health care.  Many people incorporate that with the other disciplines, but we neglect the most important system of the body:  The Nervous System.

It is this system that the chiropractor helps you with, and it is the nervous system that controls all functions of your body.  The power that goes from the brain to the rest of the body allows it to heal itself and be healthy.  Your heart beats, your lungs breath, your stomach digests in conjunction with the intestines, your eyes can see, your ears can hear, your muscles can contract, you can move all without having to think about it.

This nervous system is so important that we have the spinal bones protecting chiropractor freehold Freehold Chiropractor Explains When Chiropractic Care Should Beginit.  Unfortunately the daily stresses that occur from the time of birth and throughout life cause VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATIONS:  the bones move out of place, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves and interfering with the functions of our body.

The first subluxations develop during the birth process as the medical doctor pulls and twists on the baby’s neck and if uncorrected at this early stage, will only add further neurological stress to the growth and the adaptive demands of a new life.  Children need chiropractic care.  They receive the best care and the most profound results for ear infections and colds, respiratory conditions, digestive issues, and so much more.

Subluxations continue to occur as children learn to walk they fall several times, they sit in classes with poor posture, carry heavy books and backpacks, play sports, play fight and wrestle, numerous accidents and falls from a bike, then auto accidents and other injuries as we get older through teenage and adult years, and general stress, poor nutrition, lack of exercise can all add to the subluxations.  Regular chiropractic exams and adjustments allow for you and your children to have nervous systems that are functioning optimally.

The majority of  society reaches for medicine when “sick,” but the fact is the relief is from masking symptoms with a pill or injection, while the causes were never fully corrected.  These medications then lead to many other side effects.  Everybody seeks Relief, but why not find the cause and correct it.  The earlier you and your family are monitored and corrected for subluxations, the more optimally healthy you will be without drugs and or surgery.  The longer you wait to get your spine checked, the bones start to degenerate and the joints become more arthritic…  Your growing family and neighbors need chiropractic care.

There is no age, size, gender, color or financial limit for who deserves excellent chiropractor freehold Freehold Chiropractor Explains When Chiropractic Care Should Beginhealth!  You were born with  health and deserve it throughout life!  It is Natural To Be Healthy! An optimally functioning nervous system is necessary to maintain and preserve your health.  EVERYBODY needs chiropractic care!

The Importance of Chiropractic – More than Pain Relief Explains Freehold Chiropractor

We currently live in a society that is run by medicine and surgery.  This isn’t health care at all.. this is what is called sick care.  Waiting til you have pain, symptoms, high blood pressure, digestive issues, chronically sick, cancer and other conditions then just treating it with medications that at best cover up the symptoms making you think you are healthy until the next symptoms appear.  Many of these symptoms are actually just side effects of the medications you are taking.  Rather than taking you off the medications causing side effects, they put you on another medication to cover up that symptom but causes many more side effects.  This is a vicious cycle which is the downfall of our health and wellness in the Unite States with skyrocketing costs.

When most people hear or think about chiropractic, they think of pain relief.  This is what the medical profession would like everybody to think, but it is the furthest thing from the facts.  Yes, people go to the chiropractor and get relief of their back pain, their neck pain, headaches and migraines, Fibromyalgia, sciatica, numbness and tingling just to name a few.  Research is constantly coming out showing the effectiveness of chiropractic with all of these conditions.  You can view many of them on my blog by clicking:  Hometown Family Wellness Center’s Blog.

More importantly is that if everybody would understand how the body works chiropractor freehold The Importance of Chiropractic   More than Pain Relief Explains Freehold Chiropractorand what chiropractors actually do, YOU TOO would experience what true health care is all about.

Chiropractic was founded in 1895 and is based off the natural functioning of the body.  We all know the nervous system controls all organs, systems, cells, tissues and functions of the body.  Your brain sends messages to all of these areas and as long as the nerve impulses reach the intended destination, your overall health will be optimal.  Because this system is so important, we were created with a protective boney spine that not only is hard, but we have multiple joints that allow us to move.  Now, for a second, just imagine if the spine was just one long bone.. that wouldn’t work too well would it?

The only problem with our spine consisting of 24 moving vertebrae or bones is that with all the daily stresses we encounter, they can easily move out of place, putting pressure on the nerves.  When this occurs, there is interference of the messages the brain is trying to send through the nerves.

You already probably have experienced numbness and tingling in your arms,  hands, legs or feet and know it’s because there is pressure on the nerves in your neck or low back that go down the extremities.  But what do you think would happen to the nerves that are between your shoulder blades that go to your heart and your lungs?  Do you think you’d get numbness and tingling of the heart or lungs?  What about the nerves in your mid back that help control the stomach, intestines and kidneys… would they start tingling?  What if only 80% of the nerve message gets through the nerve that goes to the heart?  Do you think the heart will work at 100%?  of course not, it can only function at best 80%!!!  Is this a healthy heart?  Do you think your blood pressure can be normal with the heart only receiving 80% of the nerve impulses it’s supposed to be getting?  What about all the other organs getting less than 100% of the nerve impulses?  Is less than 100% going to bring you optimal health?

Another analogy that might make this more clear to you is thinking of your house.  There is a circuit breaker that is the control center of the house and all the wires (nerves) leave it to go to every room in the house.  Each room has multiple outlets that you plug different appliances, electronics, lights, etc.  What happens if the circuit trips?  Whatever is plugged into that outlet from that circuit is going to shut off or malfunction.

This is how basic your body works.. I know, I made it look very simple.  Your body short circuits from the time you are born to current.  We have stress that accumulates in the body, that cause the spinal segments to misalign, thereby putting pressure on the nerves.  At birth the medical doctors are pulling on the baby, twisting his or her neck, misaligning the bones in the neck.  As a child, how many times did you trip and fall, play fight with friends, have accidents playing sports.  All the years sitting in chairs at school that are hard to sit with proper posture.  Carrying heavy book bags, then purses or briefcases on one shoulder.  Just walking and missing the curb can cause the bones to misalign.  Ever have an auto accident?  Just think of all the small traumas that you never considered can be doing damage to not only your body but your entire health.

It is so important that everybody gets their spines checked.  We all experience stress that causes the bones to misalign on a daily basis that puts pressure on the nerves and decreases the overall function and health of our bodies.  These misalignments are called subluxations by chiropractors.  A chiropractor can evaluate anybody to detect and correct these subluxations, bringing about optimal nerve function and get your body as close to optimal health as possible.

Imagine everybody being more healthy with a drug-free, hands on approachchiropractor freehold The Importance of Chiropractic   More than Pain Relief Explains Freehold Chiropractor with chiropractic.  Research shows that chiropractic saves money in healthcare.  Less hospital admissions, less surgeries and procedures, less prescription drugs.

Why wouldn’t  you want to be a part of the growing trend of patients who want to be healthy naturally?  Are you ready to be able to enjoy a normal active lifestyle, reduce your health care costs, improve the functioning of your body, reduce your need for harmful medications and surgeries?
