The Doctor

Dr. Thomas Walaszczyk's knowledge and experience restoring health without drugs or surgery spans 31 years.  Dr. Walaszczyk approaches health holistically and uses therapeutic modalities including electric stimulation, ultrasound, spinal traction, exercise and nutritional protocols to deliver a comprehensive treatment plan to provide patients with the materials necessary to achieve their optimal health.  

Dr. Walaszczyk's chief question when analysing a patient is to ask " What prevents this patient from recovering naturally?"  Using various Chiropractic techniques, the body's ability to recover back to a normal level of functioning is restored.  Patients are provided an understanding of their own health problems and a means to participate in their own self recovery.  As we become healthier with every Chiropractic adjustment, we learn how stress plays a role in our health.  Physical injuries, emotional patterns, mental stress and or  dietary choices are often found to be the part of the current problem(s). The Science, Art and Philosophy of Chiropractic was born in 1895 by D.D. Palmer in Davenport, Iowa.  The most important tool that created Chiropractic was the X-Ray machine.  Having the ability to see and measure misalignment of vertebrae provided the information on how to correct it.  As these spinal mis.alignments were corrected, many positive outcomes were observed, beyond what might have been expected.  Patient's health improved in all aspects, not just in the spine itself.  In the early 1920's, there were over 300 Chiropractic colleges and hospitals in this country successfully restoring patients health without drugs or surgery.  In the 1940's, the corporate take over of health care began with the introduction of drugs as the only means of health care.  The dream of chemotherapy was its promise to reduce symptoms and pain.  With all the advertising for medicine, Chiropractic continues to provide patient's with a means to achieve health and wellness in a way drugs and medication just can't provide.

In my office, X-ray is used to evaluate the specific spinal and pelvic misalignments as to deliver better results for my patients.  From the X-ray study, the proper course of treatment is then determined.  Determining the alignment is one critical aspect of determining long term correction of musculoskeletal complaints and is vital to restoring balance and adaptation to the nerve system.  The skeleton is the foundation for the nerve system.  When the foundation is distorted, the nerve system, muscles, discs, joints and you are less than optimum.  To be all you can be you must have a nerve system free from interference. 

Dr. Walaszczyk is a graduate of the New York Chiropractic College, 1989, graduating with honors and membership to the Phi Chi Omega Scholastic Honors Society.  Dr Walaszczyk practices full spine adjusting based on X-Ray analysis and extremity adjusting based on kinesiology.

Dr. Walaszczyk is a member of the Association of New Jersey Chiropractors. He is available for public lectures and as a consultant on injury prevention in industry and business settings.
