- Ear InfectionsA child's spine can become quite misaligned without any awareness on their part of pain or discomfort. Children have not always developed enough awareness of their bodies to identify a subtle chronic issue developing. Even when a child is experiencing pain, they may not be able to communicate it to you and it can come across as grumpiness, acting out, or incessant crying. Issues with the spine can also be the source of many other childhood issues, such as colic, ear infections, and ADHD.
- Emergency CareWhether you are in great shape, poor shape, or somewhere in between, it’s important to get your injuries checked out as soon as possible after a car accident.

If you don’t feel that your injuries warrant a trip to the emergency room, at least book and appointment with our South Plainfield chiropractic team at Chiropractic Health & Rehabilitation Center to ensure you don’t have injuries that may turn into chronic conditions in the future.

- Physical Therapy"I have had a painful neck, shoulder and left upper arm for a year and a half. I went through physical therapy for six weeks (in Florida). When I came back I still had the pain and restricted movement. Since I am eighty years old, I wanted to go to a chiropractor near my home. I was happy to have found Dr. Mital Patel. I went to her once or twice a week for four weeks. Dr. Patel’s treatment reduced my neck pain within two adjustments. She gave me exercises to do at her center and at home, which I continue to do. My arm is much improved, and I recommend Dr. Patel for her knowledge and methods of treatment, and for being of great help to me."
