What’s In A Nerve?

Every few seconds in every day of our lifetime, tens of billions of sensory messages travel as electrochemical impulses along the slender branches of the human nerve system. They make their way to communication headquarters in the Central Nervous System; the Brain, and Spinal Cord. Fifty to One Hundred Billion nerve cells, or neurons act as information specialists. Each receive a message on branching arms called dendrites and send signals via a single nerve fiber, or axon. Th

Our Own World Within.

From Chiropractic, Amazing Isn’t it? From our human perspective, we are blind to vast reaches of reality. Mysteries lie all around us, even within us. Just as a journey to the moon may show us the daintiness of our planet, a venture into the miniscule can be a true voyage of discovery. An exploration of the Human System should probably start with the nerve system, for that great mass of cells and fibers contain the pathways which determine what is uniquely Human in our nature

What’s Our Health Worth?

To start, lets come up with some sort of definition for Health. Many of you have heard me say, “I think Health is best used like a unit of measure to describe how well we’re living, or more specifically how well we’re expressing our potential for Life.” After all, from the time of conception we have the potential to Live, if things go well, we express that potential by continuing to live. The Healthier we are, the better we live, right? What is a Healthy (ie: efficient, livin

What’s a Cough All About?

A number of weeks ago I ran across this article from the New York Times, and was pretty happy to find that their conclusions found over the counter Cough Syrup to be completely ineffective for stopping coughs, and in many cases dangerous to young children. I was even happier to see them find that Honey, is in fact, MORE Effective than over the counter cough medications! I believe that we can benefit from using the Chiropractic perspective to expand upon this discussion a litt

You’ve Never “Caught” a Cold

It’s hard to believe that in 2018, with all of our advancements in technology and science we’re still attributing our seasonal fluctuations in health to obscure events, bad luck, or the belief that “something must be going around.” You and I have never “Caught” a cold, nor has a BUG ever been so pervasive that a Healthy-Body just becomes over-run by a “trojan-horse” of germs which it encounters every day. To be honest, Cold-Viruses are as common as the air we breathe; as a ma

Top Tips and Recommendations for Your Child’s Backpack

As parents, we only want to absolute best for our children. That why at Hands On Health Chiropractic in Brick, NJ, we emphasize the importance of children getting regular Chiropractic adjustments, regardless of pain or symptoms. Why?

Client Centered Care

At Hands On Health Chiropractic in Brick, NJ, the care we provide is incredibly specific; both in its application and the sense that every-body’s care is unique to the individual. Each and every one of our spines are unique because they develop as the direct result of everything we’ve ever experienced; strengths, traumas, stress, repetition, patterns, and even our emotions. If no two spines are the same, then it only makes sense that no two people can receive the same adjustm

The Importance of Understanding

Historically, the title of Doctor has been synonymous with the role of a teacher, and in practice, the Doctor of Chiropractic is not simply a practitioner, but also responsible for sharing the Chiropractic Philosophy of Health and Life. While I believe everyone is entitled to use Chiropractic in the manner which they deem most appropriate, experience has shown me that a little information can go a long way. Personally, I value understanding at my core because it builds knowle

Chiropractic Care Benefits Every-body

…But just how your Life will change is entirely of up to you. Many people seek Chiropractic based on a need for relief when they’ve become overwhelmed by the effects of Stress, or when they desire to regain their Health because Life isn’t as full as they’d like it to be. Stress is more consistent and persistent in our lives than ever and will overload any system; a stick will bend and twist until it suddenly snaps, and we Adapt (bend) to continue Living until we, proverbially

Are You Healing? Or Are You Just Suppressing Disease?

Anyone who has ever eaten an aspirin certainly knows that there is a big difference between pain relief and being healthy enough to promote true healing. Even though painkillers may help you "feel better" it is widely understood that this relief does not necessarily mean anything has been cured or that any healing has actually taken place. I am continually astounded by how many people truly believe their various drugs and conventional approaches have performed some type of

Be CLEAR in the New Year!

Many of us celebrate the New Year as a time for a fresh start, a new beginning; perhaps a chance to reformulate previous ideas and create new goals to manifest our desires for the future. Whether we're looking to lose a few pounds, start a business, or simply give thanks for that which we have; keeping ourselves CLEAR and CONNECTED with Regular Chiropractic care will help in more ways than one. We all live with stress in our day to day lives, that's no secret. Unfortunately

Why We Share Chiropractic

I recently had the opportunity to share Hands On Health Chiropractic’s vision for health and healing with our local Rotary Club of Brick, NJ, and in addition to meeting a bunch of great individuals involved in some awesome services to our community it also got me thinking. Why is that Chiropractors are so ready and willing to get out and tell people about their service? We Share Chiropractic because it is not a commodity. Everyone has a dentist and an eye doctor, but many peo

5 Reasons Chiropractic Makes a Great Gift

Our greatest compliment comes when our existing clients share our vision for Health and Healing with those whom they know and love. 1. Life is Stressful… During the holidays we double down. Getting adjusted regularly allows us to counteract the effects of stress before they get you down! 2. Chiropractic Keeps Us Healthy The flu is not a season, it’s an inability to adapt to the things we’re exposed to. During the holidays we become increasingly susceptible because we’re ove

How Will Chiropractic Help Your Child Have the Best School Year Yet?

Every Family has their annual back to school rituals; new shoes, school supplies, fresh haircuts, but most of us don’t equate back to school time with a trip to our Chiropractor. In fact, many people believe that unless their back aches there isn’t a reason to visit a Chiropractor. Statistically, chances are that just wearing a backpack for the next 9 months will provide a great reason to get your child’s spine checked. Did you know that 1 in every 3, five to eight-year old’s

Everything Heals…. Even Discs.

Spinal Discs are a big topic these days; just ask your family members, I bet a few will tell you that they’ve had herniated or blown discs in their spine. While many people believe that Disc Injuries are some sort of life-sentence to be tortured periodically, emerging evidence is saying quite the contrary. As a matter of fact, pooled data from eleven studies suggests that 66% of non-surgically managed disc herniations actually heal. Surprisingly some of the most severe injuri
