Proper spinal alignment is essential for healthy and pain-free living. When there is a trauma to a joint, one of the ways your body responds is the stabilization of the area by formation of new bone. With time, calcium deposits build up, eventually as abnormal bony growth. This arthritic ‘splinting’ of bones is nature’s attempt to stabilize the injured joint. If left untreated, subluxation takes the form of ongoing degeneration known as ‘subluxation degeneration’ and can lead to chronic health related problems.

Consultation
On your first visit to our office our receptionist will greet you with a warm smile, and you will be welcomed as a member of our family. You will be asked to fill out some required forms which will help us gain important information about you and your condition.
One of our doctors will then talk with you and ask you some specific questions regarding your condition to determine which approach will benefit you. If our doctors cannot help you, you will be referred to a doctor that can better treat your condition. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
As these x-rays show, there is a progressive degeneration that
can be halted, or slowed, with proper chiropractic care.
If you are considering chiropractic care, we know you may have lot of questions. For your convenience, we would like to take the time to answer the most commonly asked questions below.

The Art Our doctor masters the adjusting “art” of chiropractic which includes a comprehensive evaluation, a review of health history, and arrival at a clear diagnosis and a recommended specific treatment plan customized for each patient. This includes specific spinal adjustments. Adjustment describes many hundreds of ways and techniques of directed and controlled pressure to restore spinal segments to a more normal position and range of motion, aiding in increased flexibility, increased immunological function and increased life energy. Chiropractic is truly an art.
NORMAL
Proper spinal curves permit normal turning and bending. Openings between joints allow nerve roots to exit the spine without interference. The edges of the bones are smooth and well defined. Equal disc spacing is a sign of healthy spinal function.
PHASE ONE
Loss of normal curves and misalignment restrict or exaggerate normal ranges of motion. Ligament and muscle strength is reduced. Even with nerve irritation and soft tissue inflammation, pain or other obvious symptoms may not be present.
PHASE TWO
Years of accumulated calcium deposition are now visible. Bone spurs attempt to fuse malfunctioning joints. Adjacent surfaces are rough and uneven. Joint instability is accompanied by continued nerve irritation and disc degeneration.
PHASE THREE
After years of neglect, complete fusion has immobilized the joint. Obstructed nerve openings cause permanent nerve irritation as soft tissue degeneration continues. This irreversible condition is usually associated with other chronic health problems.

Your privacy is important to us. All information received on the above forms and through other communications is subject to our Patient Privacy Policy.
Examination
After a thorough consultation with the doctor, you will have a complete examination. This will include testing, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard chiropractic, podiatric, orthopedic, neurologic, postural, and physical examinations. The doctor will gain valuable information regarding your condition so that a better understanding of how our treatment can help you. If necessary, the doctor may take X-rays or refer you for additional testing procedures.
X-ray
X-ray is sometimes required to get a full evaluation of a patient. The need for X-ray is considered on a case-by-case basis. Our equipment is state of the art for imaging.
Report of Findings
Once all of the information has been gathered and the examinations have been performed, one of our doctors will give you a report of findings and make recommendations for treatment.
Treatment
Many of our patients begin to see results from their very first visit. Our customized and effective techniques are able to restore function and movement in everyone from athletes to senior citizens, and gentle enough to be administered to children (they love us).
Our office participates in many insurance programs. We also accept auto accident liens and workers compensation cases. To find out if your insurance covers treatment at our office, please call 973.467.9011 or fill out the insurance form. We offer everyone a free no obligation consultation.
For patients who have little or no medical insurance coverage, flexible payment programs can be arranged.
What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic is a natural method of health care that focuses on correcting the causes of physical problems, rather than treating only the symptoms. Chiropractic is based on a simple but powerful premise: With a normally functioning spine and healthy nerve system, your body is better able to heal itself. That’s because your spine is the lifeline of your nervous system. It controls feeling, movement, and all function through your body.
How does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works by restoring your body’s inborn ability to be healthy. When under the proper control of your nervous system, all the cells, tissues, and organs of your body are designed to resist disease and ill health. The chiropractic approach to better health is to locate and remove interferences (subluxations, misaligned vertebrae) to your nervous system. With improved spinal function, there is improved nervous system function. The goal of the chiropractor is to remove interference that may be impairing normal health through specific chiropractic adjustments, allowing your body to heal itself. A healthy spine and a healthy lifestyle are your keys to optimal health!
Chiropractic philosophy recognizes that the power that created the body can heal the body – as long as there is no interference. The doctor does not heal you; he or she is a co-facilitator with you for your body to be put in the correct environment to heal itself. The main purpose of the chiropractor is to reduce interference to your inborn, innate healing ability.
