Has your quality of life been affected because of back pain? You're not alone - Harvard Health tells us that almost 85% of people in the US have back pain so severe that they see a doctor at least once in their lifetime. Unfortunately, these problems often start small but end up becoming severe issues like sciatica. For active people and athletes, dealing with back pain isn't just compromising; it's life-changing.
And while many people will tell you that having a "back problem" is something you'll have to deal with for the rest of your life, that's far from the case. The good news is that seeing a chiropractor in Port-au-Peck can provide you with the relief needed to live a healthy, active life without giving up the things you love most, like sports and spending time with your family.
Of the millions of Americans who suffer from back pain daily, many have found long-lasting relief through the same chiropractic care offered at NJ Sports Spine & Wellness. But what exactly is chiropractic care, and how does it help?
Chiropractic care is a drug-free, non-invasive approach to overall wellness and healing that focuses on correcting issues with your musculoskeletal system. When performed by a licensed chiropractor, it can alleviate and even eliminate common problems such as:
To treat your conditions and help reduce your pain, chiropractors use time-tested, hands-on techniques to adjust your spine, neck, back, and other joints throughout your body to restore proper function, mobility, and alignment. Once your body is in proper alignment, it functions optimally, leading to improved overall wellness and health.
Unlike some sports rehab clinics in The Garden State, chiropractors from NJ Sports Spine & Wellness work with you one-on-one to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific goals and needs relating to your pain and ability to live a normal life. Because our team takes a holistic approach to healthcare, we cover all aspects of your health and wellness when developing your chiropractic treatment plan. That way, we increase your chances of living a fulfilling life free of pain and worry about throwing your back out.
Seeing a chiropractor can quite literally change your life for the better. According to the American Chiropractic Association, in general, chiropractic therapy is a more effective solution for back pain than other treatments like addictive pain pills, surgeries, and yoga. When combined with services like physical therapy, occupational therapy, and acupuncture, chiropractic care may be the key you need to open the door to a pain-free life.
Shedule An AppointmentSome of the many benefits of seeing a reliable, licensed chiropractor include the following:
Perhaps the most obvious reason to make an appointment with a chiropractor is for back pain relief. Some people only need to see a chiropractor when they have occasional back pain, such as when they wake up in the morning. Others, such as those who have been in serious car accidents, need regular chiropractic adjustments and therapies, which are often supplemented with techniques like physical therapy and acupuncture.
There are many causes of back pain that range from advanced conditions like having sciatica and herniated discs to everyday issues like poor posture and sleeping in a harmful position. Your chiropractor's job is to pinpoint the cause(s) of your back pain and build a customized plan to address your musculoskeletal conditions. Once that happens, pain relief follows shortly after.
At New Jersey Sports Spine & Wellness, we craft personalized chiropractic plans for every patient we treat, with the goal of avoiding harmful surgeries and addictive medicines.
If you've never experienced a headache in your life, you're exceedingly rare. Just about every American will suffer from a headache at some point or another. For some, headaches only happen occasionally and are not much more than an annoyance. For others, headaches evolve into crippling migraines that can affect quality of life, ability to work, and much more.
If you find yourself digging into a bottle of Aspirin or something stronger when you have a headache, it might be time to visit an NJSSW chiropractor.
Do you wake up in the morning feeling like you didn't sleep a wink the previous night? Do you have to take sleep aides like Ambien in order to drift off to dreamland? If you have chronic back pain, getting a full night's rest is easier said than done. From misaligned spines to improper sleeping posture, your chiropractor in Port-au-Peck can use manipulation therapy and other techniques to boost blood flow and align your vertebrae, so your body can heal itself and help you rest better.
One of the best things about seeing your chiropractor is that when your session is over, you often feel great. The pain relief feels phenomenal. When you're not in pain, you have a more positive outlook on life, and often enjoy better sleep, blood pressure, and even sexual relations. It makes sense, then, that chiropractic care has been shown to help reduce stress and anxiety, which promotes relaxation and improved mental health.
At NJ Sports Spine & Wellness, we work with a long list of athletes who suffer from sports injuries and other problems that can manifest from being active. For professional athletes, having a trustworthy chiropractor to care for them is needed for their careers. But you don't have to be a pro athlete to benefit from chiropractic care. Ordinary people that enjoy active lifestyles can reap tremendous rewards through chiropractic care, such as improved range of motion and relief from compressed discs.
Whether you enjoy impromptu games of tag football or simply want to play with your kids, seeing a chiropractor can help you be healthy and active without fighting back, neck, and joint pain. That's especially true when chiropractic therapy is used in conjunction with acupuncture, physical therapy, or occupational therapy.ies and addictive medicines.
Your NJ Sports Spine & Wellness chiropractor in Port-au-Peck may use a range of techniques to restore function and alignment in your body. Some of the most common techniques our chiropractors use include:
Life has a habit of being unexpected. Sure, some surprises only hurt your bank account, like last-minute renovations in your home. But severe incidents, like car accidents, can inflict physical injuries that cause you long-term pain. These problems, like neck and back injuries, affect many Americans daily. Even worse, many hardworking people turn to risky surgeries and addictive pain medications, only to find themselves deep in a hole that seems impossible to get out of.
If you suffer from serious range-of-motion issues or you're in chronic pain, it's important to know that you have treatment choices. You don't have to put your health at risk to relieve your pain. One of the most successful non-invasive treatments offered for pain is physical therapy. The main goal of physical therapy is to restore movement and function to patients affected by illness, injury, or disability.
Physical therapists work with patients of all ages and abilities, from children to elderly adults, to help them overcome physical limitations and improve their quality of life. At NJ Sports Spine & Wellness, our physical therapists help treat a wide range of conditions, from neck pain and spinal cord injuries to back pain and arthritis.
Once our PTs have made headway, they will often use our chiropractic therapy to provide the patient with more relief. Having the option of both chiropractic and physical therapy is often very effective, because your chiropractor in Port-au-Peck can address nerve irritation and joint dysfunction while your physical therapist helps retrain your musculoskeletal system, allowing your body to heal faster.
Some of the biggest benefits of using physical therapy along with chiropractic care include:
Occupational therapy, or OT, is to help patients of all ages and abilities engage in activities of daily living, or ADL. Often, that means helping patients reclaim the ability to continue working, going to school, accomplishing day-to-day tasks, or other activities common to daily living.
Occupational therapy can benefit individuals going through many conditions, such as traumatic brain injuries, strokes, spinal cord injuries, autism spectrum disorders, developmental delays, and chronic pain. The end goal of occupational therapy is to help patients achieve the maximum level of independence and participation in their daily lives. If pain, discomfort, weakness, fatigue, or fear prevent you from participating in activities you love, an OT from NJ Sports Spine & Wellness could become the MVP of your wellness journey.
To give our patients the most complete pain relief and recovery options, our doctors and practitioners will often lean on the expertise of both a physical therapist and a chiropractor in Port-au-Peck. By working together, your PT, OT, and chiropractor can provide you with a comprehensive approach to total-body functionality, from your spine and joints to your mind and range of motion.
Some of the most common benefits of using OT with chiropractic care include:
Acupuncture boosts your body's functions and helps improve its ability to heal through anatomic site stimulation - usually called acupuncture points or acupoints. To stimulate these points, acupuncturists at NJ Sports Spine & Wellness insert fine, sterile needles into your skin. Most patients don't feel any pain as needles are applied. Typically, needles are left in the skin up to 30 minutes. After your session, it's normal to feel incredibly relaxed.
While some practitioners still adhere to traditional philosophies, modern acupuncturists take an integrative approach to the therapy. Today, professional acupuncturists use these techniques to stimulate your body's natural healing and pain-fighting processes. When coupled with personalized care from a chiropractor in Port-au-Peck as well as physical or occupational therapy, you can find real relief from the physical and emotional roadblocks holding you back. Some of the most reported benefits of acupuncture treatment include:
During an acupuncture session, you may feel a slight sensation of warmth or tingling at the needle's site of insertion. Generally speaking, acupuncture is painless and perfectly safe for you to consider. In fact, many practitioners and doctors recommend combining acupuncture with other treatment options like chiropractic adjustments.
Though acupuncture and chiropractic therapies come from different origins, both include non-invasive, holistic, and gentle approaches that don't require drugs to work. They also both facilitate total-body healing by addressing the underlying causes of your symptoms - not just the symptoms themselves.
Because acupuncture is known to release endorphins and improve blood flow, having a session prior to a chiropractic adjustment can be very beneficial. That's because, after acupuncture, your muscles are less stiff, more relaxed, and easier to adjust effectively. Over time, as you combine acupuncture and chiropractic therapy, you'll benefit from less inflammation and less pain as you heal from injuries or musculoskeletal conditions. That same truth applies to patients who undergo serious chiropractic adjustments.
At NJ Sports Spine & Wellness, our staff consists of licensed and highly-trained professionals, including specialists focusing on:
Every member of our team believes that the path to wellness and a pain-free life begins with customized treatment plans that cater to your needs and body. Unlike some chiropractors in Port-au-Peck, we do not treat on-the-surface symptoms with one-size-fits-all therapies. We do not rely on powerful pain medications to mask your pain or invasive surgeries that require weeks of recovery. Instead, we address the root causes of your pain so that we can help you live the happy, healthy life you're craving.
To achieve that goal, we'll conduct an in-depth evaluation to learn about your medical history. We'll also perform diagnostic tests and speak with you one-on-one to get a better sense of your needs. From there, we'll recommend the therapies that can give you a new lease on life and be there for every milestone you hit.
If you're fed up of living with the limits of pain and lack of mobility, we're here to help you break free. Contact our office today to get started.

OCEANPORT, NJ — With the arrival of spring, the Fort Monmouth redevelopment boom is clearly in full swing. The same developer who owns Bell Works in Holmdel is expanding his Monmouth County footprint, and will soon be building 144 town homes at the old Fort Monmouth site.
The developer is Somerset Development, owned by Ralph Zucker. This comes on the heels of last week's news that another builder, RPM Development, opened rental units at Fort Monmouth (called Liberty Walk) and converted Officers' Row into 68 private homes for sale (called East Gate). There are even plans being discussed to build a gym (Fort Athletic Club), a microbrewery and a bowling center at Fort Monmouth.
On Tuesday, Zucker announced his company, Somerset, received approval from the Oceanport Planning Board to redevelop a 15-acre parcel of land on Signal Avenue near the Oceanport entrance to Fort Monmouth.
Plans include 144 market-rate town homes and 36 affordable housing units as well as a waterfront promenade. You can see renderings above.
Somerset plans to break ground at Fort Monmouth later in 2021.
Fort Monmouth is a 1,127-acre former U.S. Army post in Oceanport. It was used by the U.S. Army for years, but officially closed in 2011, although activity had been winding down there for years. Ever since, acres and acres of land at Fort Monmouth have sat empty. U.S. Army barracks were abandoned.
The 15-acre parcel Somerset purchased is known as the Lodging Area, and it formerly housed barracks for the U.S. Army and runs along Parker Creek.
Somerset says its new town homes will feature high ceilings, rear-loaded two-car garages, driveways and spacious interiors. Residents will also have access to a private back deck with room for grilling and socializing, and select homes along the waterfront will also feature private roof decks.
Somerset also plans to build a 50-foot waterfront esplanade along Parker Creek and connect to the adjacent Allison Hall riverfront promenade via a boardwalk-style walkway.
Gardner Hall and Scriven Hall, located within the Fort Monmouth Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places, will be preserved and remodeled for use as affordable housing.

“This moment represents an exciting next step as we move forward with plans to reinvigorate a place with both incredible history and unique character," said Ken Gold, vice president of acquisitions and development at Somerset Development. "We consider our contribution to Fort Monmouth’s redevelopment to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that can help transform it into a truly walkable, vibrant place to live and visit.”
“Somerset Development has an incredible history of transforming challenging sites into dynamic, thoughtfully-designed projects and we’re proud to welcome them to the Fort Monmouth community,” said Bruce Steadman, executive director at Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority. “Despite the ongoing pandemic, we anticipate 2021 will see renewed acceleration and positive momentum across all new and ongoing projects. We look forward to the forthcoming addition of Somerset’s new residential community in Oceanport, as well as the rehabilitation of one the Fort’s many historic assets for reuse.”
Somerset is in the midst of redeveloping The Ameritech Center in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, originally built as the former AT&T research facility. Similar to Bell Works, this is a 1.65-million square foot building, now known as Bell Works Chicagoland.
Zucker is transforming that into another "metroburb."

The scattered showers and thunderstorms that rolled across parts of New Jersey on Sunday dumped as much as 5 inches of rain on some towns, and weather forecasters are concerned about possible flash flooding as new showers pop up Monday.
Five counties in the state’s northeastern region are already under a flood watch — a formal heads up that streets and highways could rapidly get flooded, and streams and rivers could overflow.
Forecasters from the Weather Prediction Center, affiliated with the National Weather Service, said some of the rain showers and thunderstorms that develop Monday will be moving slowly and could dump as much as 1 to 3 inches of rain in one hour. That would add to the risk of flash flooding in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region, including New Jersey.
On Sunday, heavy rain fell in many areas of the state, but the highest rainfall totals were concentrated along and near the Interstate 95 corridor — primarily across Burlington, Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem counties, along with parts of Monmouth County, weather service meteorologist Joseph DeSilva said.

Here’s a look at the highest rainfall totals reported across New Jersey from Sunday morning through 9 a.m. Monday, according to the National Weather Service, the Rutgers NJ Weather Network and the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network, known as CoCoRaHS. Some municipalities are listed more than once because rainfall totals are measured in multiple locations.

Snow lovers along the Jersey Shore were probably smiling when they saw all the snow that fell from the sky during the blockbuster blizzard that hit New Jersey Friday night into Saturday afternoon. Until they had to tackle the giant task of removing all that snow from the walkways and driveways.
So, the big “winners” in terms of the towns that got the most frozen precipitation may have felt more like losers when it comes to all those body aches they were feeling Sunday morning.
Here’s a look at the 25 towns — or sections of towns — across New Jersey that ended up with the biggest piles of snow, and bragging rights, based on reports received by the National Weather Service.
These numbers are technically unofficial until they get certified by the weather service’s data division, known as the National Centers for Environmental Information. But Jonathan O’Brien, a meteorologist at the weather service’s regional office in New Jersey, said most of these snowfall reports will likely stand because they went through a preliminary vetting process.
In many cases, the measurements were taken by trained weather observers. And in some cases, these totals were supported by photos, O’Brien said. But he acknowledged it was tougher than usual for people to get highly accurate measurements because the strong winds created a lot of blowing and drifting snow.
