What is chiropractic care and how does it work?

Chiropractic care is a holistic medical therapy focused on addressing pain and inflammation without medication or invasive procedures. Treatment involves hands-on techniques to gently adjust joints and soft tissue that may be restricted or misaligned. These adjustments help restore proper movement, reduce pressure on nerves, enhance flexibility, and promote circulation, which can help improve the health of various organs and tissues so the body can heal efficiently.

Chiropractic care can treat a wide range of health conditions, including:

Sports injury

including iliotibial (IT) band syndrome, Achilles tendinitis, tennis or golfer’s elbow

Chronic Pain

including fibromyalgia, arthritis, and migraines

Musculoskeletal problems

like back and neck pain, joint pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome

Most insurance plans are accepted. For questions regarding coverage, please contact your insurance company. For information on self-pay pricing, please call our office staff at 973-971-6301 x1.

How long does pain relief last?2026-05-06T16:10:25+00:00

How effective chiropractic care is or how long the effects last depend on a multitude of factors. Some patients experience relief after one session. However, those with more severe conditions will likely benefit from a consistent schedule of sessions. You will work with your chiropractor to determine the treatment plan that best addresses your condition. In general, patients seeking care for acute pain will be seen three times a week for two weeks. It typically takes between three to six visits to start seeing lasting change. Your chiropractor will re-evaluate your treatment plan after your tenth visit.

How should I prepare for my procedure?2026-05-06T16:14:18+00:00

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Be prepared to discuss your current medications, symptoms, and overall health.

What can I expect during my appointment?2026-05-06T16:14:54+00:00

During your first appointment, your chiropractor will review your health history, current symptoms, and perform a physical exam to determine if chiropractic care is right for you. Treatment may include gentle spinal or joint adjustments, stretching, or soft tissue techniques. Your chiropractor may also provide home care instructions to enhance and expedite your recovery.

What Our Patients Say

"Dr Jeff is one of the best Chiropractors in NJ. I had an IT band injury and was recommended by one of athlete friends to see him. I was training for an Ironman and a marathon and the injury was quite painful . Dr Jeff is himself an athlete and is highly knowledgeable on sports related injuries. He performed an Active release technique and that really made a huge difference. After a couple of visits the pain subsided and thanks to his treatment I had a great great racing season."
