How is chiropractic different than physiotherapy or osteopathic manipulations? This is a frequently Googled question that I wanted to address. First, these fields can all be very complimentary.

Osteopathic manipulation is a hands-on treatment, which [...]

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!

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-06-18T14:12:46-04:00

Forgive me if I haven’t yet shared something personal with you. I’ve been talking about it for a little while now…and it's good news... The wife and I are expecting baby number two! :-) #Blessed With that in mind, here’s a quick “pregnancy care” note: Pregnancy, as beautiful as it is, can be a lot of stress on the body.

I had a meltdown last week

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-02-19T11:56:25-05:00

A couple of weeks ago my wife got sick. I mean this was the worst cold she’s had in about eight years – sneezing, heavy-duty dry cough, the whole nine. About a week later my son got sick, too. Poor little guy got it bad, with fever, even a double ear infection. I had to step up. So I double-dosed my USANA vitamins to keep the ol’ immune system a-humming and took on some additional parenting duties. Add to that I skipped a few lunches to do some outreach here in the community. It was tiring, but fulfilling. Next, I had to [...]
