Chiropractic and The Domino Effect of Health and Wellness

Have you ever set up a line of dominos, only to watch them all fall with a single touch? Your spine works similarly. When one part is out of alignment, it can trigger a cascade of effects throughout your body. Let's explore this fascinating domino effect and how chiropractic care can help reverse it. The Spine: Your Body's Command Center Your spine is more than just a structural support. It's the protective housing for your spinal cord, the interstate of information between your brain and your body. When your spine is properly aligned, it allows for optimal nerve flow throughout every [...]

When Chiropractic Care Doesn’t Work

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 [...]

How Chiropractic Restores TMJ Function

How Chiropractic Restores TMJ Function

Dr. Joshua Gelber2022-07-05T14:46:35-04:00

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. Issues in this joint can also disrupt [...]

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 [...]

Survive The Jaws of the Lion

Dr. Joshua Gelber2021-01-19T18:35:17-05:00

You may have once heard of an adventurer called Dr. Livingstone. While in Africa, he was dragged away from his camp in the jaws of a lion and lived to tell the tale. It was strange. Once in the grip of the lion's teeth, he felt a bizarre sense of euphoria, and went completely limp. It was as though he'd given up the fight and resigned himself to his fate. But he never gave up his desire to live. Sure enough, Dr. Livingstone survived his close encounter with the King of the jungle. Today, we are living in the jaws of a [...]

Why Would A Healthy Athlete Use A Chiropractor?

Dr. Joshua Gelber2020-11-10T18:11:51-05:00

Here’s something to think about. With gym closures, so many people are becoming “road warriors” and turning to biking or running for fitness. Injuries from these types of activities are on the rise. That said, even healthy, top-tier athletes like Tiger Woods and Tom Brady have turned to chiropractic care to give them an edge. Indeed, A study by Anthony Lauro D.C. and Brian Mouch, D.C. showed how athletic ability can be enhanced by chiropractic care. The study looked at healthy athletes who didn’t have any musculoskeletal injuries. The goal for these athletes wasn’t to diagnose disease, but to pinpoint subluxations that could [...]

The Simple Question You Must Ask Yourself To Find True Health

Dr. Joshua Gelber2020-09-22T21:40:55-04:00

Our society is built around crisis management. Sure, you could say there’s lean toward wellness these days, but our primary mode is reaction and crisis response. The pandemic has shown this. Think about the advice we’ve been getting from health authorities and policy makers. It’s all about minimizing risk, controlling damage, and little to no focus on building health and natural immunity. Apply this to individuals: We are often most motivated to get healthy when we’re sick or in pain. For many of us the spark that ignites our passion to eat right and live a healthy lifestyle comes when we’re ALREADY suffering [...]
