Freehold NJ Chiropractor | Expert Adjustments & Sports Care

Hello and welcome to Hometown Family Wellness Center located in beautiful downtown Freel, New Jersey. I want to congratulate you in taking the first steps in taking care of your health and getting the pain-free that you deserve.

Now that you see our location, I’m going to invite you on in. Welcome to our office.

I’m Dr. Russell Brockstein, your toprated chiropractor in Freehold, New Jersey, and author of The Next Health Revolution: A Natural Path to Revive Your Health and Maximize Wellness.

When you schedule an appointment in my office, unlike other doctors, I only schedule one person at a time because I value your time. Other offices, I’m sure you’re used to, you go to and you wait forever. I don’t believe that a patient should be waiting for a time that they scheduled for.

Now, when you come in, I do a very thorough evaluation with you to give you a personalized care plan that’s fit for you, to get you better as quickly as possible, and so you can enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle.

Once again, the first thing we do for your full body examination is a state-of-the-art computerized spinal scan called Myio Vision. This test is a surface EMG that is non-invasive and gentle, analyzing your nerves and muscles for spinal imbalances from the top of your neck to the bottom of your lower back on each side.

It provides us instant results of the severity of the pressure on your nerves as well as how severe your imbalances are. Results are instant and I review with you immediately.

Most chiropractors will use X-rays, but I prefer avoiding radiation to your body unless examination indicates the necessity. if you had a car accident, other trauma, or within the first handful of visits, you aren’t getting results.

This test will also show you how other symptoms you might be experiencing can be a result of subluxations or misalignments of the spine.

Upon completion of the test, you can enter your phone number to get a text with a copy of results.

Next, I do an orthopedic and chiropractic exam to determine the causes of imbalances I saw on your myio vision results. Ranges of motion tell us which joints are misaligned. Orthopedic tests help determine if your issue is just joint related or if there’s involvement of the discs and nerves.

Chiropractic and manual muscle tests tell me where and when to adjust. And flexibility tests show which type muscles are contributing to your imbalance. This makes treatment more specific to you.

And if for any reason I feel I cannot help you, I will guide you to the proper specialists that might be able to.

To further evaluate the cause of your problems, I use the Foot Levelers 3D scanner to show if one arch is dropping more than the other.

Over 80% of the time, dropped arches translate forces up your leg through your knees and hips, causing back and neck pain. The scan shows if spinal pelvic stabilizing orthotics will benefit in correcting your problem.

Yes, I actually start your treatment right after the exam. And I say this because many chiropractors will do an exam first day and have you return another day to start treatment.

But you came in for relief and I want to provide you with relief as quickly as possible so you can be more comfortable.

There are many chiropractic techniques so every chiropractor will be a little different. I was fortunate to go to Life Chiropractic College which is now Life University and it’s one of the top three chiropractic colleges where we learn at least 10 techniques.

Chiropractors from many of the other schools only learn one technique and others, believe it or not, don’t even learn how to adjust.

Not every patient is going to respond well to one technique. So, it’s great. I have specialized in many to help patients like you.

I’ve combined the best of each of these techniques to make up what I call the Broxine technique.

It’s using little of Thompson drop technique, full spine diversified technique, flexion distraction technique to decompress the disc in your lumbar spine, toggle for upper cervical specific cases, and some instrument adjusting for those that like a little lighter touch.

Most chiropractors just adjust spines, but I will also adjust your extremities.

manual muscle tests I did during your exam might indicate your ankles, knees, and hips are contributing to your lower back pain and even your neck pain.

And if a chiropractor only adjusts your spine, but leaves the misalignments in your ankles, knees, and hips, these instabilities will keep throwing off your spinal regions.

Other muscle tests help me determine if your shoulders, elbows, or wrists need to be adjusted.

And I will not neglect areas that are contributing factors to your problem. I take a full body approach to helping you recover.

Here I’m using the impulse adjusting instrument which is gentle way of adjusting the neck.

After manual adjustments, if there is still restriction of motion, I will use this instrument to optimize your range of motion, removing more pressure from the discs and nerves.

During the exam, I will point out many of the muscles putting stress on your back and neck.

Along with your treatment, I perform therapeutic stretching to further balance your spine and remove the tension that keeps pulling the joints out of alignment.

I’ll also show you home stretching to help expedite your recovery.

And finally, if you like a little more relaxation and stress relief with your treatments, I provide you with intersegmental traction that further works on decompressing your spine, loosening of muscles, and increasing mobility in your joints.

What better way to complete your session and feel better?
