Wellness Care Versus Short-Term Relief

Dr. Joshua Gelber2024-05-08T13:10:12-04:00

When you’re in pain, unable to work well or enjoy your life, nothing else matters but getting well. During my thorough evaluation, I look for what issues in the spine could be problematic, creating dysfunction in the neuromusculoskeletal system. I enjoy offering hope and aid to patients with acute issues, marveling with you at what the body is capable of healing when the nervous system is clear. You may wonder why I offer a wellness approach to care rather than a quick, get-out-of-pain plan. I have great respect for how intricate and complex the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves are, working [...]

Dr. Joshua Gelber2023-11-10T20:01:06-05:00

“Chiropractic won’t work for me.” “I got adjusted, and it didn’t do any good.” Our mindsets play a big role in our health. We may come to a doctor, or even a gym or nutritionist with certain expectations. You may anticipate certain results if you’ve been referred or have heard great things about a particular field, such as chiropractic. Or maybe your mindset is rooted in desperation and exhaustion. If you’re at the end of your rope, then you’re tired of dealing with symptoms - you need relief and you need it yesterday! Whatever the case may be, often we approach [...]

What is TMJ and how does it relate to chiropractic? TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint and it’s pretty important in talking, chewing, and opening our mouths. You probably want to do all of those motions every day! 😉 In this joint in the jaw, is a little articular disc that moves as you open and close your mouth. Sometimes this disc can move incorrectly and cause a snapping or popping sound as well as a lot of pain and discomfort. It can also cause your jaw to freeze and lock. No fun at all.

6 Key Wellness Habits

6 Key Wellness Habits

Dr. Joshua Gelber2021-09-10T17:21:08-04:00

In the “react and respond” health environment we live in, more people are becoming proactive (vs. reactive) about wellness. They’re turning to chiropractic, meditation, nutrition, yoga and exercise to improve their health. Why are they making this shift? Because they intuitively know wellness is more than the absence of disease. Wellness is an expression of your highest potential as a human being. When you’re at your peak mentally, physically, chemically and spiritually, the possibilities are endless! Wellness is more than just reacting to problems and illness. It’s about "right and wrong." Rather than focus on what’s ‘wrong’ with you or what [...]

Try not to do too much too soon. Waiting rooms are full of weekend warriors who injured themselves or fizzled out by going hard when their bodies simply weren’t ready. Sometimes [...]
