A drugless life – the ongoing road to naturally better health Part 5
Dr. Joshua Gelber2016-11-23T08:41:37-05:00Back to Part 4 Dr Josh weighs in... If you haven't read parts 1-4, this conclusion will definitely seem out of sync, so I encourage you to go back and start there. It's been a number of years that this practice member has been utilizing chiropractic care; and over that time you are now witness to the written words of a woman with a lot on her life plate (let's face it, who doesn't in our overburdened and pressuring society). That being said, this is a story of determination, of standing against a mainstream model of sick-care habits, prescriptions, and un-natural [...]
A drugless life – the ongoing road to naturally better health Part 4
Dr. Joshua Gelber2016-10-25T22:20:20-04:00Back to Part 3 Striking a balance As a woman, there are certain symptoms that the medical community will tell you are “normal.” We are brought up to believe that monthly menstrual pain and the other less than comfortable and emotional “joys” that go along with it, are simply a fact of life if you are a woman.

When I first got my period as a teenager, I was not prepared for the severe cramping, back and leg pain and nausea that would greet me every month. [...]
A drugless life – the ongoing road to naturally better health Part 3
Dr. Joshua Gelber2016-10-05T15:23:26-04:00Back to Part 2 Symptoms, an “alternative” mindset, diagnosis and acceptance I like to think I lead a fairly healthy lifestyle. Sure, there are nights when I go to bed way too late after having a little too much wine, and days when I might choose a sleep-in instead of an early morning workout at the gym.

But for the most part, on weeknights at least, I’m in bed by 9 and up at 5 for an early morning [...]

Dr. Joshua Gelber2016-09-14T10:00:44-04:00Back to Part 1 Part 2 - Disclaimer*** The author boldly shares about her mental health journey - it goes deep, it's personal, and the primary reason her identity is kept private. Please enjoy her openness. Coping with Anxiety Being under regular chiropractic wellness care for the last 5 years, I like to think that I have a firm understanding of the different forms of stress (chemical-emotional-physical) and how they play a role in my overall health and well-being.

Dr. Joshua Gelber2016-09-01T07:49:28-04:00I’ve got a practice member. She’s pretty remarkable – remarkable as in life has thrown her a lot of trauma mentally, emotionally, physically, and chemically. While she has struggled at many times to just make it through the day, she continues to come out on top, not succumb to a world of negativity and hopelessness, and sift through the diagnoses, prescriptions, suggestions and recommendations many have given her to come out SAFER and HEALTHIER, by avoiding the many substances that can mess with our ability to live a “normal” life. She has claimed chiropractic has saved her in many cases –I [...]

Click and watch how safely we adjust kids - it takes less force than most adults, and she really enjoys it!
