Hometown Family Wellness Center: Freehold, NJ Chiropractor Dr. Russell Brokstein

Do you know that symptoms are the body's LAST attempt to tell you something is wrong, NOT the first? Judging your health by your symptoms is the WORST thing you can do. Almost everyone in this country judges their health based on their symptoms – and it's not their fault. In this country we have a SICK care system – Not a health care system…because we only go to a medical doctor when we're SICK.

In chiropractic, we preach PREVENTION similar to a dentist does with your teeth: Do you wait until your teeth or gums hurt or are rotting out?

Chiropractors talk about good nutrition, exercise, sleep, a good attitude, and of course we adjust the spine to keep your nervous system and your body functioning at its maximum potential so you get and stay healthy. This is OUR HEALTH care system…we don't want people to wait for symptoms to develop – we try to prevent them.

Dr. Arthur Barsky, associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, believes that some people are more sensitive to bodily sensations and have a lower tolerance for pain. "Symptoms are a general barometer of how you feel psychologically and much less so medically," Barsky said.

"Despite the existing medical establishment who would have you believe that you should always be battling one health problem or another in order to buy their drugs and line their pockets, the truth is, your body is designed to maintain the ideal you. To provide you optimal energy, to heal you when you are sick or injured, and to live a long and satisfying life." Dr. Joe Mercola

Structure determines function

Body structure affects health

Understanding body structure will result in a better understanding of your overall health

The body is a self-healing, self regulating organism – with the nervous system functioning as the master control system of the body. If the nervous system is compromised in any way (interfered with) the body cannot function normally – Only then do symptoms develop. Do you know anyone waiting for symptoms to develop?
