My Commitment To You For 2013

Dumont Chiropractor’s Commitment Let’s face it, 2012 was a bit of a rough ride! Between the weather, a difficult economy and a disappointing showing of our local baseball and football teams, most of us aren’t going to be too sad to see last year go into the history books. So bring on 2013! I am…

Should You Exercise When You're Sick?

Exercising in Dumont The choice to exercise or not sometimes depends on the sickness or disease. Our bodies work harder and use more energy when we are fighting an illness. If symptoms are above the neck (sore throat, runny nose), it is probably okay to exercise. You should not exercise if you have body aches,…

Life goes on after the pain is gone!

Life After Pain In Dumont People never stop surprising me. Some patients wait in pain for days, weeks or even months before they come to me for help. When they finally make an appointment, the reason for their delay was that someone had told them, “Once you start seeing a chiropractor, you have to go…

Imagine Being Pain Free for the Holidays!

Pain Free for the Holidays in Dumont It is amazing how fast the year is passing. Autumn is here and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. The worst way to spend the holidays is in pain. I get so many last-minute calls asking me to help with severe back pain or neck pain during this…

What patients get wrong about their pain

Dealing With Pain in Dumont After over 25 years of practice I am still amazed at the way some people think about their pain and where it comes from. A patient came to my office and told me that she had lower back pain that started recently. She insisted that the only thing it might…

You're never too young to train like a pro – or get injured like a pro

Children Sports in Dumont Recently I read an article in the NY Times about injuries among professional football players. Because of the fiercely competitive nature of the game, long-lasting injuries affecting the brain, spine and peripheral joints are common. Not only is arthritis a common occurrence, but also conditions like Parkinson’s disease, dementia and multiple…

Don’t ignore family health problems – even if they're difficult to talk about

Necessary Care in Dumont Every doctor knows that the worst type of patient to treat is a family member. I tend to ignore their problems, rather than giving advice that would almost certainly be disregarded. Even when one of them suffers a herniated disc injury, one of the things I treat in my office, I…

Is Talking About Spinal Decompression Therapy Scaring Patients Off?

Spinal Decompression Therapy in Dumont I received a phone call from a marketing firm this past week. It was a typical call, trying to solicit business. The man said that he had “investigated” my practice and I needed to change my approach to speaking with my patients. He told me patients were scared of chiropractors…

Why Is Your Back Like A Toilet?

Spinal Damage in Dumont The other day I found myself answering a very familiar question. A patient wanted to know how he could have done so much damage to his spine for so many years but still not feel any back pain until just recently. After over 25 years in practice, I am used to…

Breathing and Back Pain

Breathing and Back Pain in Dumont I recently attended a workshop on a method of rehabilitation called “Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization” (DNS). We focused on building better movement patterns and stability by going back to the patterns you had as an infant. Rolling over, crawling, even breathing properly are all patterns which are hardwired into your…
