Making Connections

August 10, 2018
Dear Friends,

So lately, I have been acting as "the IT guy" in the office and at home. Never would I have thought of that as a calling in my life! But, I have had to navigate (or stumble) my way through some complex computer gymnastics of late. I'm thankful for some of the people that helped via a phone call or online (though not everyone was helpful). But the reason I'm talking about this is to make the point that new experiences and new types of learning keep the mind sharper, boost interest in the world and enhances our well being.

Maybe in your "technological" life, you had to ask the kids or grandkids for help. Maybe you had to take a class or go on YouTube to figure out some mysterious gadget. Maybe there is a new system at work or a personal interest or hobby that takes you online for information. Maybe you are reading your favorite newspaper or magazine digitally instead of on paper.  Or maybe you are keeping track of you health efforts (steps, sleep, food or water) with an app on your fancy new tablet or phone!

Appropriate use of technology is a wonderful thing, just as making the effort to learn something new is a wonderful thing! Connecting with other people to accomplish a task, to get help, to exchange information or just have fun is also a wonderful thing. Connection is the key to our satisfaction and health in pretty much every aspect of our lives. Health, longevity and happiness are known to be enhanced by our connection to others...knowing and INTERACTING with many different people of all ages, stages and abilities enhances our enjoyment of life.

So, as I have been connecting computers and modems and network expanders and printers, it came to me that just as making the technology connect enhances the "well being" of our office processes, making those connections within ourselves and with others enhances the well being of the individual and of society.

Chiropractic  scientific  research shows us that adjustments assist us in appropriately responding to physical, mental and emotional stimuli. Adjustments help us connect all our parts for optimum function and connection to others! Getting regular adjustments will help you be healthier and to handle your life better! 
Call today...Office Hours are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 9 -1 and 3 -6 and Saturdays 9 - 1. Call 201-525-0707 to make an appointment with Joan, Jolanta or Debi at a convenient time.
All the best and we'll see you soon!

A little bit family

Dear Friends,
 Many times during the day I have the opportunity to become aware of something wonderful happening in the everyday lives of my patients! Who is graduating from Pre-K, 8th grade, high school or college? Who has a new grandchild on the way? Who got promoted or is retiring? Who has a wedding coming up -- a Bar Mitzvah -- a big birthday? We are so happy for our patients, friends and family in the happy times!
However, there are also times when my patients might have a sorrow, a worry, or a loss of someone dear. Their friend is ill, a pet passes, a family member gets injured or they lose a job. We grieve along with you in the sadder times, as well. Part of "Family Chiropractic" is the understanding that we are all a little bit of family, so, if we can lend a listening ear, a compassionate heart or make a connection that will help in the rough times, it is our honor to help.You don't have to suffer alone!
First and foremost, let us help you handle everyday stresses, both good and bad, with a great adjustment! Call today...Office Hours are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 9 -1 and 3 -6 and Saturdays 9 - 1. Call 201-525-0707 to make an appointment with Joan, Jolanta or Debi at a convenient time.
All the best and we'll see you soon!

Dear Friends,
I have an interest in nature and love to keep up with the celestial goings on that happen all the time. This month of May is a big one for the planet Jupiter! On the 8th and 9th, Jupiter was clearly seen by the naked eye crossing the night sky. Looking like a  steady, bright light, it reminded me that we sometimes need to come out of our own little circle of "stuff" to see something beautiful! And, though I live in an urban environment with street lights and close neighbors, it was easy to see that bright light because I simply looked up out of my window and beyond my own backyard. I want to remind you to look up and around for the beauty of nature. It will surely nourish your spirit and boost your mind and body!

We here in the office want to wish all our patients and friends a Happy Mother's Day! Even if you are not a mother yourself, you have had a mother or acted in a motherly way to someone in your life...you know how important motherly energy is to our "inner children", even though we are no longer actual children. So we are sending a hug with motherly energy, to each of you! Hug that inner child and enjoy your day!

If you are in need of more that just a hug, remember that we are here to help you, too. Simply look up and beyond your circle of "stuff", call and make an appointment.Office Hours are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 9 -1 and 3 -6 and Saturdays 9 - 1. Call 201-525-0707 to make an appointment with Joan, Jolanta or Debi at a convenient time.
All the best and we'll see you soon!

Dear Friends,
I've been counting the daffodils coming up in my front yard and clinging to the thought that we are supposed to have 4 seasons and not 2! The dregs of Winter are still hanging on and it is stressing so many of you! You are coming in with neck pain, headaches, shoulder issues from shoveling these last few snows and low back pain. Remember that we are here to help you no matter what the issue! 
With the onset of Spring you may need new orthotics for your running or gym shoes. Changing the bedding for Spring means time for new cervical sleeping pillows. Do you need some Young Living Essential oils for relaxation? E.R. 911 spray can help dispel that overwhelmed feeling. Maybe you want to go over your nutritional needs or have a stress assessment....we can do all of these things for you! It's true that my goal as your Family Chiropractor and personal Wellness advisor is to help you achieve your Optimum level of Health...you only have to ask!
Office Hours are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 9 -1 and 3 -6 and Saturdays 9 - 1. Call 201-525-0707 to make an appointment with Joan, Jolanta or Debi at a convenient time.

Time to show yourself a little love!
This month we do our best to celebrate lots of things and I believe that it is our way of making it through the dark months of winter. Groundhog day, Super Bowl, Valentine's day, Presidents' Day, Mardi Gras...everything we do is designed to get us out of the winter doldrums and force us up from the cozy couch! I like to go with the idea that February is really about LOVE! We love a party, we love our teams, we love our country, we love our "sweeties" and friends! 
How about taking a little time to love YOURSELF this month?

• Love yourself with an adjustment to boost your immune system (several studies have shown that regular adjustments raise the healthy immune markers in the blood);
• Love yourself with a new set of orthotics to balance that low back and relieve stressed out feet (studies show a 40% improvement in low back pain with custom made Foot Levelers orthotics);

• Love yourself with a Free Immune System check up here in our office on February 27, 2018!   We are offering our patients and their family and friends the opportunity to receive a free 4 part immune system checkup with nutritionist Jane McNeil. It takes 1/2 hour and is a $75 value. Space is limited, so call the office 201-525-0707 to reserve your time between 11 am and 7 pm.

Debi, Joan or Jolanta can make an appointment at a convenient time in our schedule.
All the best and see you soon!
