Introducing Soul Focus
building focused selfishly
on improving you. Appealing
to the inner peace and
tranquility found deep within you,
the Soul Focus building will make
you want to turn off, tune out and
lose yourself in a yoga or tai chi class
followed by a massage or body wrap.
Or, challenge yourself physically
in a spin class or personal training
session. Correct faulty joints, improve
body mechanics or eliminate
wrinkles and unsightly blemishes.
Have unwanted body hair removed
on the same day as sun damaged
skin or age spots. Why not sit in
the steam room or chill out by the
fireplace all afternoon? Rekindle
the mind, exhilarate the body and
rejuvenate the spirit.

Is Your Head On Straight?
Headaches are the #1 rated health complaint in America, surpassing even the common cold. There are an estimated 50 million chronic headache sufferers in the United States alone. Headaches generate 157 million lost days from work, more than $50 billion in medical bills and $4 billion in over the counter medications. I was a headache sufferer and they were debilitating. I tried everything, saw every doctor and nothing worked. I thought I was crazy, and the doctors insinuated it. If I hadn’t found relief, I don’t know where I would be today…….[Read it]

Acupunture: 3000 Years and Counting
A few years ago I was working at my desk,
when I heard commotion in the waiting
room. A patient was raving about how
great she felt following her Acupuncture
treatment. She was saying that her shoulder
pain was no more. I recognized the
patient immediately but couldn’t believe
my eyes. The same shoulder pain I’ve
been working on for weeks!? The same
pain that wasn’t getting better and wasn’t
going away? How? [Read it] |

Oh Christmas Tree, oh Christmas Tree!
Lying in the driveway I thought, “…….I
just broke my back!! I can’t believe that
me, of all people, the guy who helps
patients avoid spinal surgery is now going
to need surgery myself”. It was Sunday,
December 13th and I was bringing home
the Christmas tree and taking it off the top
of the car. After cutting the rope from the
sides of the luggage rack, the tree shifted
awkwardly and slid down the SUV landing
on the driveway right in front of the
path to the front door. [Read it] |

LIVE YOUR LIFE THRU A DREAM
Living life with zest and vitality at the
highest level of productivity possible.
Motivation, drive and excitement are
what we crave from life. It’s pushing yourself
to reach and attain goals both personally
and professionally. Total and complete
health is easier than you think, but it
requires the right attitude, the right fuel,
communication, exercise, determination
and perseverance. By managing 5 simple
aspects of life, one can achieve a pain free,
fulfilling life. However, it is equal management
of all five that unleashes the powerful
results. Each of the five categories
affect the other 4, so excelling in one or
two areas and neglecting the others will
get you nowhere and leave you frustrated. [Read it] |

Conservative treatment for herniated discs….
you may not need surgery!
Do you know Dr. Alan Stern? Yes, the
dentist from the radio commercials. He is
a very good dentist. I was in his chair getting
my teeth cleaned when he told me
that he was scheduling low back surgery.
He was worried that he may have to give
up his practice! He said that the pain in
his leg caused from a herniated disc at
L4/L5 had become so bad that it was preventing
him from seeing patients. His
Orthopedist told him that he would never
run again, and now he was in so much
pain he couldn’t even work! I demanded
that he schedule an appointment in our
office and reminded him that surgery only
had a 50% success rate. [Read it] |

Are Your Practicing SickCare or HealthCare?
Did you get a massage from us at the
Italian Festival? That’s right, just like
every year, Garden State Spine & Pain
Institute was in a tent in Joe Palaia Park
giving out FREE 5 minute massages. Over
the 5 day stretch, we performed over 300
grueling massages. After massaging all
day, after day two of the five day festival,
Dr. Mike woke up in the middle of the
night in a cold sweat with muscle cramping
from head to toe. So, why did we do
all this back breaking hard work for FREE?
We wanted a captive audience! While
you were drooling and speechless enjoying
the royal treatment, we took the opportunity
to change your way of thinking
because you have been hard wired incorrectly
since birth. [Read it] |

Problems Sleeping?
We sleep for half of our lives. Think about
it, half of our lives we are sleeping. For humans
and other mammals, regular sleep is
essential for survival. Still, there are those
people who swear that they require only
4 or 5 hours a night. Not Me! I sleep,
and I sleep hard. My mother tells a story
about a car crash that happened at 4AM
right outside my window when I was 4
or 5 years old. There was a whole lot of
noise, commotion, emergency vehicles
and everything else that goes along with
a car accident. I don’t exactly know what
happened... I was sleeping! In fact, before
writing this, I had to call my mother to
make sure that it really happened. I don’t
remember, I was sleeping. [Read it] |

Stress kills and You are working my last nerve!!
Are you approaching a nervous breakdown?!
Stressed out? Do the smallest things set you
off? Feel like you are constantly under pressure?
Are you losing sleep and not eating properly?
Do you drive in New Jersey? The point
is, you can not avoid it. Stress will find you and
stress always results in illness. When we speak
of a “nervous breakdown” or being “shot out”,
we are referring to a complete breakdown of
our nervous system. Stress causes headaches,
ulcers, heart disease, instant heart attacks, and
numerous other ailments and diseases. Stress
attacks the areas of your body that are weak due
to previous injury or where you are genetically
pre-disposed. [Read it] |

CONTROL
Want to be able to gain or lose weight at will?
You can!
I never thought it was possible, but it is!
Want to know the secret?
Diets don’t work! You need to control
your metabolism.
The good news is that you must eat often
to jump start your metabolism.
Diets slow your metabolism down. In
fact, dieting slows down all organ function
which is why you are lethargic and in a fog
when dieting. You are not functioning at
100%! Don’t diet!…..change your diet!
You need to EAT to lose weight. You do
this by giving yourself the right fuel. [Read it] |
