I was looking for a new chiropractor in the area and after reading several reviews I came across Dr. Russell a few months ago. He evaluates you before he treats you with a bunch of questions and tests. I've never had anything like that done before, and I really appreciate his thoroughness. Booking an appointment is easy on his website and he has hours that are very accommodating to my schedule. He is kind, knowledgeable and helps you feel better. He really cares about his patients. I also appreciate that he is not pushy. Definitely worth checking out, I highly recommend Dr. Russell. read more

Very thorough care and explains everything. My office experience was great. He was very informative.

I cannot recommend Dr. Russell enough! After receiving three epidurals, struggling with two herniated discs, and being told surgery might be my only option, I decided to explore chiropractic care. I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in the door, I felt welcomed and cared for. Dr. Russell is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and more importantly, takes the time to listen to your concerns, He explains everything thoroughly and helped me avoid invasive surgery. If you are looking for another option, I highly recommend Dr. Russell! read more

Dr. Brokstein is an amazing chiropractor who excels at teaching, educating, and treating patients. I came to him with shortness of breath that was turned away/labeled from many doctors as anxiety, asthma, allergies - but I know my body and I know it wasn't any of those and I didn't want to take unnecessary medication that could have side effects. Dr. Brokstein took the time to listen to my issues and leverage chiropractic practices to help identify, alleviate, and treat the shortness of breath symptoms. I also appreciate that his honesty, never pushing to have an appointment just because, but clearly setting expectations of appointment frequencies and when we can start to taper off to 1x a month. Thank you!!! read more

Been to multiple chiropractors before. Some have actually done more damage. Dr. Brokstein assured me I would be able to avoid surgery. Over the course of a couple of months, I'm up and moving around just fine. Even though I'm better, I still return for maintenance. One difference is, he doesn't make you believe you need to return 3 times a week so he can bill the insurance. He will actually give you what you need and nothing more which goes a long way. My wife also became a patient and we get jealous of each other when the other goes. We always come back feeling amazing. I wouldn't go anywhere else at this point. read more

Dr. Brokstein is awesome. I was dealing with chronic neck and back pain from past injuries and constant computer/phone use from work. He was patient and informative from day one and got started right away. Within 2 visits I saw an immediate difference and felt relief for the first time in years. We've continued since then and It's truly been life changing... not dealing with chronic pain helps everything from my overall mood to energy level on a daily basis! I would recommend Dr. Brokstein to anyone. He even helps address issues with my flat feet and gives you plenty of stretches and methods for working on your painful areas at home. The experience has been nothing but positive, 5 stars no question. Great guy! read more

Dr. Brokstein is an incredible chiropractor and performs outstanding adjustments! He is straight to the point, honest, and genuine. Every time I left his office I felt like a new person, and I walked out feeling taller and more balanced. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, and I appreciate how he provided insight on lifestyle changes that would help provide relief to my pain. He is also very prompt and respectful of other people's time. The front desk staff was also kind, courteous and very professional. I highly recommend Dr. Brokstein! read more

As a massage therapist, my job can be extremely strenuous on my body. Dr. Russell has kept me aligned and healthy over the past 2 years. Unlike a lot of other chiropractors who just adjust the spine, he also works on the extremities . He always takes his time to make sure that I am at my best so I can be the best for my clients. His nutritional cleansing program has helped me on my path to weight loss and more energy and he has encouraged me every step of the way. Before looking at any other reviews for any other chiropractor, I recommend very highly to giving this man a call for an appointment. He will definitely change your health around as he has done mine. read more

Dr Brockstein has been such a blessing to my family. My newborn son was experiencing acid reflux, which impacted his sleep. My wife and I did some research on Chiropractor's and how they can help with the problem. We visited him and felt safe going through with the process. He educated and reassured us that this was safe. After a few sessions, his sleep routine improved. I highly recommend it if you decide to go down this route. Dr. Brockstein also treated my golfers elbow, or tendinitis on my inner elbow which was from weightlifting. Again, he patiently educated and treated my ailment and after a few sessions, my pain went away and I was back to lifting heavy. I've tried other methods of ART and platelet therapy, but I believe his technique worked best. Highly recommend! read more

I did a lot of research before choosing a chiropractor and I know I chose well! In the month and a half I've been regularly getting adjusted by Dr Brokstein... I no longer wake up in pain with my Body aching! Being taught how to properly take care of my spine and my body has been a huge help and I'm really glad I chose Hometown Family Wellness As my chiropractor :) read more

I would not recommend this office to my dog. After calling the office to let them know I would be late for my appointment, then agreeing it would be ok if I'm not seen right away. I had to wait for an entire hour to be seen. On top of that, they charge you a late fee of 70 dollars if you miss your appointment. It's not worth the time honestly, go somewhere else where they would accommodate you. I don't need a lecture after a long day at work, about me being late. Take my advice, this office is not worth it. XC read more

Dr. Brokstein has been a very large help to my pain and aches in my neck due to running and everyday stress. He is always accommodating to try to squeeze me day of, (if he can help it) due to my work schedule. He is very professional and both my husband and I see him and would recommend him to anyone that is having aches and pains. Both my husband and I incorporate the stretches that he has taught us to do to help alleviate back pain. If you need a chiropractor in the freehold/ Manalapan area Dr. Russel is your man and go see him!!! read more

I never really believed in Chiropractors before I met Dr. Russell Brockstein. My back went out just bending over. I could not straighten out. The pain was so bad I could not walk. Someone suggested I go to Dr. Brockstein. I made the appointment, and hobbled into his office. Wow, was I amazed I walked out of his office with hardly any pain at all. Several additional adjustments and I was as good as new. Dr. Brockstein is very professional and a very nice guy. My husband also went to him for his back. He has been suffering for years He really did get relief. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Brokstein's been amazing! We have been with him for over 5 years. He has helped my wife with her lower back pain/issues. More impressively he has helped my oldest daughter with her chronic ear infections when she was little. Starting at the age of 3, she would consistently have an ear infection month after month. We had mentioned it to him one day and he explained to us the concept of the tubes in her ear and how they are still developing, and that all we needed to do was just have him do a few adjustments to allow the ear to drain properly. We opt for the adjustments instead of having the ENT put in tubes in her ear and are we glad we did. No more ear infections! (She is 9 years old now!) He is currently assisting my youngest daughter who is 2 with issues with ear infections. From Jan-April of 2019, she has been having ear infections back to back. We take her to Dr. Brokstein for adjustments and two months in and no issues with her ears. Glad we have him in our lives! Oh and Princess the front receptionist, she is AMAZING too, patient, kind and keeps her promise when she tells you she will get back to you!!! read more

I started going to Dr. Russell this winter when I fell twice on ice. I googled chiropractors in my area and was lucky enough to find Dr. Russell!! I began visiting twice a week to ease my neck and back pain. Within a month, I was feeling 100%. I have appointments now every few weeks for maintenance. Dr. Russell always takes time to discuss my back/neck pain and address any questions I have. I am very happy with my decision to go to Freehold Chiropractor!! read more

I am so very happy I found Dr. Brokstein!! He zeroed in on my problem and came up with a program consisting of stretching and manipulation. I went from a pain level of 8 to a low of 1 in just a few weeks. Dr. Brokstein is very personable and always reactive to my needs. I would highly recommend him (this from someone who has seen seven different chiropractors over the last few decades.) read more

I've had lower back pain for years on and off. Recently, it became so painful that I caved in and decided to find a chiropractor. Before calling Dr. Brokstein's office, I called three others and none of them would see me that day (believe me, I begged). The fourth call, I hit the jackpot ! Not only were the ladies who answered the phone delightful and courteous, but Dr. Brokstein is absolutely wonderful ! He is very thorough, very knowledgeable and never rushes through your appointment. You can definitely tell that he loves and respects his profession. My lower back is feeling much better and the stretching exercises he has taught me are very helpful. I'm very happy that the first three places I called that day wouldn't see me. Thank you Hometown Family Wellness ! read more

I have been seeing Dr Brokstein for about 3 years now and every time I see him, I always feel better. He is very knowledgeable, professional and genuinely cares of each patient's wellbeing. He does more than chiropractic adjustment. He advises people on how to live healthier and more balanced lives and prevent injury and disease. read more

I had to take a moment to say "thank you" to Dr. Russell Brokstein DC, Whos Skills in Pain Management and Expertise in Chiropractic go beyond the typical practitioner which makes him outstanding.

I started seeing Dr. Brockstein after having severe pain in both feet and low back pain that would shoot down my left leg. I had seen a podiatrist ( foot/knee doctor) for over two year having had x-rays and custom orthodics with little to no relief. I had also been to a orthopedist who sent me to physical therapy for several weeks again with little relief. The orthopedist recommended steroid injections, however, being an RN and knowing the possible complications of them decided to try chiropractic first. I researched chiropractors in NJ and settled on Dr. Brokstein for his experience and many positive reviews from other patients. I came into his office hoping for relief, but keeping a healthy skepticism. The moment I walked in I was greeted, had to wait less than five minutes before being seen by the doctor, and had a very thorough 45 minute assessment. Since then I have been getting a full adjustments along with stretching with each visit. I also received different custom orthodics that did actually help my feet. I have now full range of motion in my neck and back, much fewer headaches, NO MORE lower back pain shooting down my left leg, and a lot less pain in both feet. After the first treatment I felt a huge relief of my pain! I was sold! Dr. Brokstein has also helped with with my acid reflux and my sinus pain/pressure. I still come and see him for maintenance care and do stretches at home which have kept me pain free! I never have to wait more than five minutes before I see the doctor and he spends time with me stretching and giving me a full adjustment! I never have seen a doctor spend so much time with one patient and I work with doctors! My sincerest thanks to Dr. Brokstein and his staff for taking such excellent and thorough care of me. Sincerely, Nicole read more

My lower back pain is significantly improved as a result of Dr. Brokstein's expertise. He takes his time, explains everything, and does not keep patients waiting. The stretches that he recommended have been very helpful in keeping me pain free between appointments. His administrative assistant, Lori, is warm,friendly, and helpful. My experience with Dr. Brokstein has been very positive, and I highly recommend him. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Brokstein for several months now, after jumping around from one chiropractor to another for quite some time looking for one that is as reliable, knowledgable, and caring as he is. Being a fitness instructor, yoga teacher, and running coach myself, I am not an easy customer for any doctor to please. I have my own education and experience in the field of health and wellness. I dont give praise lightly. However, After searching for some time I am confident in saying this is the best chiropractic care you can find in Monmouth County. He tailors my adjustments to my specific needs and as a result I have made more progress toward living pain free and with full ranges of motion under his care within one year than I had seen in my search for a good chiropractor in 2-3 years. Dr. Brokstein is never too busy to give full explanations for what he does during appointments and even teaches me rehabilitative movements for home when necessary so I can make the most of my time in his office. I can not recommend him enough. read more
