What the outcomes show

At Freehold Chiropractic, we believe in tracking patient results to understand the effectiveness of our care. For patients presenting with back pain, we have analyzed a total of 6 verified cases to measure treatment outcomes.

The data from these cases shows an average pain reduction of 100%. This means that, on average, patients who completed their recommended treatment plan for back pain at our clinic reported a complete resolution of their pain symptoms. One patient who began care for back pain explicitly stated that during the course of treatment, "all of the back pain had gone away."

While we do not currently track average mobility gain as a formal metric, patient reports often describe significant functional improvements. For example, some patients have reported that their back "improved substantially" within approximately three weeks of starting care. Another patient, whose back pain was affecting their movement, noted that treatment not only relieved their symptoms but that they were also provided with exercises to support their continued improvement. These reports highlight a focus on both pain relief and restoring normal function.

How Freehold Chiropractic approaches Back pain

Your care at Freehold Chiropractic is led by Dr. Russell Brokstein, D.C., a Freehold native with over 28 years of experience and more than 185,000 adjustments performed. His approach to back pain is rooted in a comprehensive, full-body philosophy, recognizing that back pain is often connected to other areas of the body.

Your treatment begins with a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of your pain. This may include advanced diagnostic tools like:

• MyoVision Surface EMG: This non-invasive scan measures the electrical activity in the muscles supporting your spine, helping to identify areas of muscle tension and imbalance that can contribute to back pain.
• Foot Levelers 3D Scanning: Since the feet are the foundation of your entire body, imbalances there can create a chain reaction that leads to stress on the lower back and spine. This 3D scan provides a detailed map of your arches to determine if custom orthotics could be a beneficial part of your recovery.

Based on your unique findings, Dr. Brokstein develops a personalized treatment plan. He utilizes his proprietary Brokstein Technique, which is a synergistic blend of several proven chiropractic methods tailored to your specific needs. These methods include:

• Thompson Drop-Table Technique: Uses a special table with drop-away sections to deliver a gentle, low-force adjustment.
• Full Spine Diversified: A classic hands-on technique to restore proper movement and alignment to spinal joints.
• Flexion Distraction: A specialized table is used to gently decompress the spine, which is highly effective for lower back pain, sciatica, and disc-related issues.
• Upper Cervical Toggle: A precise, light adjustment focused on the top two vertebrae in the neck, which can have a significant impact on the entire nervous system and spinal alignment.
• Instrument Adjusting (Impulse): A handheld instrument delivers a series of gentle, targeted pulses to the spine, making it an excellent option for patients who prefer a non-manual adjustment.

In addition to adjustments, your plan may incorporate other supportive therapies like Intersegmental Traction to gently stretch the spine and improve mobility, Therapeutic Stretching to improve flexibility, and Extremity Adjusting to address related issues in the hips, knees, or feet. This comprehensive approach, which has earned the clinic over 560 five-star Google reviews, ensures that your care addresses not just the symptoms, but the underlying cause of your back pain.

FAQ

1. How does chiropractic care help with back pain? Chiropractic care helps with back pain by identifying and correcting spinal misalignments, known as subluxations. These misalignments can interfere with nerve function, cause muscle tension, and restrict joint movement. Through targeted adjustments, Dr. Brokstein helps restore proper spinal motion, which can reduce nerve irritation, decrease inflammation, and alleviate pain.

2. Is chiropractic adjustment for back pain safe? Yes. When performed by a licensed and experienced Doctor of Chiropractic, adjustments are a safe and effective treatment for many types of back pain. Dr. Brokstein has over 28 years of experience and utilizes a range of techniques, from traditional manual adjustments to gentle, instrument-based methods. This allows him to choose the safest and most comfortable technique for each patient's specific condition and preference.

3. How many visits will I need to fix my back pain? The number of visits required varies for each person. It depends on several factors, including the severity and duration of your condition, your age, your overall health, and your adherence to the treatment plan. Dr. Brokstein’s goal is not only to get you out of pain but also to provide you with the tools to stay well, which may include prescribed exercises and stretches you can do at home.

4. What is the Brokstein Technique? The Brokstein Technique is not a single method, but a proprietary combination of several effective chiropractic techniques that Dr. Brokstein customizes for each patient. It includes Thompson drop-table, full spine diversified, flexion distraction, upper cervical toggle, and instrument adjusting. This integrated approach allows him to be more precise and effective in addressing the specific needs of your spine and nervous system.

5. My back pain isn't that bad. Should I still see a chiropractor? Even minor back pain can be a sign of an underlying issue that could worsen over time. Addressing small problems early can prevent them from becoming chronic or more serious. A chiropractic evaluation can identify underlying imbalances before they cause significant pain and dysfunction, making it a proactive step toward maintaining your long-term spinal health.
