Warren Buffet’s #1 Habit For Success (And Mine)

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-12-17T15:44:53-05:00

As we cross off the last remaining days on this year’s calendar, I’m already in planning mode for 2020. I like to take time to pause and reflect. And set goals. Do you do something similar? In support of your goals for the New Year, whatever they may be, I thought I’d share this interesting quote from one of the richest men on the planet, Warren Buffet: ==== “The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.” ==== The “Oracle of Omaha” has spoken. Present day is less about finding opportunities [...]

83-Yr-Old Gets Her Groove Back

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-11-11T13:38:30-05:00

Meet my patient Doreen. We started working together when she was 82, after we met at a retired persons association meeting where I’d given a talk. Like most people her age, she had several health concerns. But with regular adjustments she soon found herself with an extra spring in her step. Most notably, the stiff neck she’d suffered with for years had regained almost full range of motion. Watch this brief video to hear Doreen tell the story in her own words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edQX7zo7frw&feature=youtu.be Here’s what I love about this… Her body, at her age, still has the power to heal!

How would YOU help these people?

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-11-05T12:37:39-05:00

Take a minute and look at the picture below. Now let me ask you a question: How would you help these people? The man covering his ears probably can’t hear that well, would you give him a hearing aid? Should the woman in the middle get glasses? What about the man on the right? A microphone? Maybe some meds? What drugs would you prescribe for these folks to help them hear, see and speak? You’re right. These are ridiculous suggestions to fix obvious problems. If they’d just remove the interference (i.e. their hands [...]

Why You Should NOT See A Chiropractor For Back Pain

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-10-22T14:25:53-04:00

In 1927, R. W. Stephenson wrote The Chiropractic Text Book. This text included the entire learning program, from freshman to senior year, for chiropractic study. Since back and neck pain are the two most common reasons people choose chiropractic, how many times do you think back pain would be found in the index? Keep in mind this is the complete chiropractic text at over 414 pages long. What’s your guess? 50 times? 100? Every page? The answer is [drum roll please]… Not even ONCE. And the reason it's not listed is because chiropractic was founded on principles of healing and well-being, [...]

Why Your Pillows Might Be Killing Your Neck

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-08-28T12:45:58-04:00

It’s official. Baby Beverly joined our clan on Saturday evening. Mom was a champ, and powered through to a healthy home arrival just 4 hours later (the beauty of using a midwife is that they come check on you the next day in the comfort of your home). Hayden’s “adapting” – he’ll be a great big brother when he comes to term with sharing his parents. It’s been a busy few days for all of us… So I’m gonna keep this short and sweet. (She’s napping as I write this. I probably should be too.) Anyway, since I’ve been fantasizing about [...]

Did Marilyn Monroe Have A Bad Back?

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-08-20T12:23:30-04:00

Here’s an interesting fact for you: The one-and-only Marilyn Monroe developed her signature walk by hacking off the heel of one shoe. I hear something like that and my chiropractor’s brain instantly thinks “compensation pattern”. What do I mean? Well, by changing the length of one leg, Monroe would set up a movement pattern that, if she continued it long enough, could only hurt the delicate musculoskeletal balance in her body. She died young, at age 36. But I’d guess that if she’d lived longer, and kept walking that way, she’d have ended up with a bad back. And that would [...]

Heat Or Ice? (The Answer Might Surprise You)

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-08-06T12:34:39-04:00

Today's quick tip might come as a shock to you. I say that because most patients I talk to are confused about this. When you have an acute injury or pain, what should you reach for first, heat or ice? Most patients think it’s heat. And while heat can help in easing tense muscles, the answer is [drum roll please]… ICE. Job #1 in any flare up or sudden pain is controlling inflammation and encouraging proper blood flow. This is what ice does. It constricts the blood vessels so the swelling can go down and, when removed, allows them to expand [...]

My new secret weapon against pain

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-05-14T15:04:40-04:00

“Healing is a matter of time, but it’s sometimes also a matter of opportunity.” – Hippocrates I was reading about a plan by Space X to deploy thousands of small satellites and blanket the planet with internet access – especially for those 3.5 billion or so people who lack a regular, high-quality connection. It’s ambitious (some would say far-fetched), but if it works…The possibilities are wondrous. I’ve often taught about the nervous system by comparing it to a communications network. If there are subluxations, signals get blocked. Your body’s command center can’t do its job. Sometimes, under these conditions, pain [...]
