"My
whole experience at Monmouth Pain has been awesome!" |

“My
back had been bothering me for years. Monmouth Pain put me
on an extensive training program with many different types
of exercises. Sure enough I saw results. I used to wake up
with pain but right now I have been pain free for two months.
The office is great. The people here are great and I am glad
I committed my time to coming here.” |
"MP&R
is the absolute best, I could not provide a more sincere and heart
felt endorsement!"
I
could not be more pleased with the care and treatment from all the
professionals at MP&R. MP&R is truly unique, a uniqueness
borne out of the very sincere and personal focus on each of their
patients. Truly a special chemistry permeates throughout the entire
MP&R team. After my second knee surgery and having visited other
rehab facilities, MB&R's knee pain management advertisement
caught my attention.
Unlike my prior experiences the staff at MP&R focused on identifying
the source of the cause of my knee problems and not just on treating
the symptoms. A pelvis misalignment was quickly and accurately diagnosed.
Now I have had the benefit of the full range of treatments and rehab
therapy offered by MP&R. As a former distance runner I have
hope and optimism again for a long life of physical activity and
fitness. While I likely won't be able to run any more marathons
that's is only my fault because I waited too long before visiting
MP&R. MP&R is the absolute best, I could not provide a more
sincere and heart felt endorsement! -John G.
"I
have found your staff to always be professional, caring, and interested
in the patients and their health needs."
I’ve received about 40 treatments for back and neck pain.
I have found your staff to always be professional, caring, and interested
in the patients and their health needs. [Physical therapist] Mae
has done great work in relieving my neck pain and I feel much better
after one of her treatments.
The
other members are just as concerned and are always ready to help.
Dr.Spano also brings me great relief for my back and neck pain.
I hope to be pain free very soon. Thank you. -Nicky M.
"All
my pain in my neck and back are gone!"
After
my seventh visit, all my pain in my neck and back are gone! Feeling
great, thanks to Dr.Spano and the physical therapists at Monmouth
Pain. Thank you for great custom service! - Stephen F.
"Thank
you all!"
Amazing recovery with long history of chronic pack problems.
(I’ve had) recent acute symptoms with moderate to severe pain
and difficulty walking. After approximately four weeks of treatment,
I’m now back to the gym using the elliptical machine 45-60
minutes, four to five times a week- Thank you all! - Anne F.
"...I
have hope that one day I will be better."
Since 2008, when i was in a major car accident, I have
been experiencing relatively severe pain every day. In addition,
every doctor, physical therapist, etc that I had seen prior to the
doctors and physical therapists at Monmouth Pain and Rehab told
me that I should get used to it because I would be in pain for the
rest of my life. At 25 years old, that was not something I was willing
to accept. Since I started at Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation,
my pain has decreased and I am able to do more things than i had
been able to and I feel like I have a better quality of life. Most
importantly, I have hope that one day I will be better. - Christine

"The
staff is always kind and they always have smiles on their faces."
I
came to Monmouth Pain for the first time about three months ago.
I came here because I had some serious neck issues where I couldn’t
pull my neck as far back as I wanted to. I had a lot of pain and
stiffness in my shoulders. I also had some knee pain when I first
started receiving treatment. I arrived at Monmouth Pain thinking
that this wouldn’t do much. I just wanted to check it out.
After 3 months of treatment, I have full range of motion back in
my neck. I can stand fully upright again. My shoulder pain has been
decreased significantly and the knee pain has disappeared. I feel
like a whole new person. I am on my way back to proper posture and
bone structure. My whole experience at Monmouth Pain has been awesome!
The staff is amazing! They are over the top. I work for the post
office as a letter carrier, so I have to be at my job until all
the deliveries are complete. I come in at any time and the staff
is really open to working around my schedule.
The staff is always kind and they always have smiles on their faces.
At Monmouth Pain they really care about me, they know me. They’re
really good. Their personal relationship with me is beyond helping
me just get better.

"Fortunately,
I found Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation which provides both therapies
under one roof and also Acupuncture..."
I
have always been a proponent of good nutrition and exercise. Having
suffered from migraines for many years, I discovered that among
the many benefits of healthy living was keeping the debilitating
headaches at bay.
I
overcame the pain of a herniated disc several years ago through
Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy and was thankful for a relatively
quick recovery that was attributed to my good physical condition
and commitment, however I was extremely discouraged when I was told
that my back would never be the same again.
When
the ominous signs of relapse occurred, and almost daily migraine
attacks resulted from lack of exercise and poor nutrition due to
long workdays, I knew I had to do something. I was concerned that
I could not fit PT and Chiropractic treatments into my schedule.
Fortunately, I found Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation which provides
both therapies under one roof and also Acupuncture, which I wanted
to try for migraine relief.

"I thank everyone at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation
for helping me regain my sense of balance."
I am a lifetime waterman/surfer. Last year, I was diagnosed with
Acute Ototoxic Vertigo. Since then, I have been out of the water.
I suffer from chronic nausea and at times extreme dizziness, which
forces me to remain sedentary. Over the past year, I have tried
to treat the symptoms in many different ways.
Dr.
Dandrea, D.C. is the only health care practitioner that has affected
my vertigo in a consistent, positive way. Under Dr. Dandrea’s
care my symptoms have been steadily improving. Last week, I went
surfing for the first time in 7 months. Through his holistic approach
towards wellness, Dr. Dandrea, D.C. has helped me regain my health.
I thank everyone at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation for helping
me regain my sense of balance.

"I
can't thank the doctors at Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation
enough for all the care and healing they have provided me." |
I am a client with Fibromyalgia, when I first came to this office
7 weeks ago I was extremely depressed, extremely sensitive not only
emotionally but also to the touch. My husband said that I sounded
very angry all the time yet I didn't feel I was. After a time of
not feeling well I guess it all wears on you so slowly, you yourself
just accept it as normal.
I
used to rate my day from 1-10, 10 being a good day. After 7 weeks
of treatment I have come to realize that my days that I thought
were a 10 were really only a 2. The difference in how I feel is
remarkable and so quickly. I'm not feeling tired at all. I'm actually
sleeping on my own and the sensitivity to my body has disappeared.
The bouts of diarrhea that I have had for years is gone, no matter
what I eat. I feel healthy, being more aware of what I eat. I feel
as though my weight is beginning to stabilize and come down. My
energy level has increased incredibly.
My
emotional status is definitely more at an even level, although I
still may get a low, it is nothing like it was before and with treatment
of chiropractic care we have almost eliminated a bad day. Before
I was looking for a good hour. I can't thank the doctors at Monmouth
Pain and Rehabilitation enough for all the care and healing they
have provided me. My family and I are so grateful. My husband says
how "it is so nice to have you back".

"He
assured me I'd get better, and he was right." |
Before
coming to Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation, I felt as if my body
was many years older than 36. I experienced pain from my neck to
my lower back on a daily basis, which I attributed to years of poor
posture carrying my two children. I was also fighting chronic sinus
infections, daily headaches, migraines, and allergies.
During
my consultation with Dr. Dandrea we discussed a plan of treatment
which included adjustments and physical therapy, and no more medications!
He assured me I'd get better, and he was right.
Going
to my appointments has been a pleasure. The facility is clean, spacious,
and inviting. There is flexibility with scheduling, and the whole
staff is always friendly and seems genuinely interested in my improvements
and well being. I never have to sit and wait for my treatments to
begin, and I always leave feeling relaxed and renewed. Thanks to
Monmouth Pain I feel young again!

“This
was the first time I had A full night of sleep In 8 months, This
brought tears to my eyes!”
I was reading the newspaper one cold winter day, in March 2004 and
I came across an article about wrist pain and tingling and numbness
in your fingers. I was told by plenty of doctors that I had carpal
tunnel syndrome and I just had to deal with it. I took notice right
away, because I was having the problem they were talking about.
I had been going to the doctor for months with this problem, nothing
was working, I was tired of taking pills because the pain was still
coming back, so I gave them a call to see the Doctor. Let me tell
you this was the best thing I could have done for myself. I went
into the office for my first appointment, I met the team and they
greeted me with a very pleasant smile, not once but every time I
came in for my treatment. I then met with the doctor and he sat
me down and explained about the tingling and numbness in my fingers,
He took x-rays to show me where the problem was coming from. I was
in total shock when he showed me my neck and how my nerve was causing
the problem. But he also said the magic words “we can fix
the problem.” I said, "ok what do I need to do to correct
the problem?" He said to stick to your appointments and you
will feel better in a short time. Let me tell you something - the
night after my first visit I went to bed about 10:00 p.m., and slept
through the whole night without getting up shaking my hands to stop
the tingling and numbness. This was the first time I had a full
night sleep in 8 months, this brought tears to my eyes. I am on
the road to a full recovery thanks to two great Doctors and friends.
I will be a patient for life, you guys are the best. God Bless you.
-Johnnie B.
“I
feel 90% healed!”
I would like to thank you for taking me on as a patient. I first
came to your office because I was experiencing numbness and tingling
in three fingers in my left hand and wrist, and I wanted to try
healing it without having to have an operation. I was having difficulty
getting a good’s night sleep because of the lack of feeling.
I had not tried any other treatments. By listening to your recommendations
and following your plan of action, my condition has improved tremendously.
I feel I almost have ridded myself of the condition. I feel 90%
healed with 10% yet to go in my middle finger! With continuing to
listen to your recommendations, I feel it won’t be much longer
before I am 100% healed. Once again thank you for making a big impact
in improving my overall health and wellness. I wish there were more
doctors who worked with their patients the way you do.
-Richard Z.
“Now
after the short time that I have been coming in these symptoms have
virtually disappeared.”
I came to Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation because I suffered from
carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. I was unable to write or sew
without discomfort. I was sick and tired of wearing the splints
everyday. They were not doing anything to fix the problem. Now after
the short time I have been coming in these symptoms have virtually
disappeared. Additionally, my young daughter, age 6, has attention
deficit disorder and her condition has improved since coming here.
She’s calmer and happier.
-Donna A.
“No
more numbness or pain!”
Before I started chiropractic care at Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation,
I was getting numbness in both my arms. I was even diagnosed with
carpal tunnel syndrome. Now that I go to Monmouth Pain, that has
gone away and it has been six months. No more numbness or pain.
And, my allergies as well have improved a lot.
-George L.
“I
wonder why my doctor never recommended all of these benefits.”
As I am approaching the last couple of weeks of your suggested 3
month initial treatments, I am so happy I responded to your ad in
the paper. I was so skeptical to start. The numbness, tingling,
and pain in my arm and wrist has completely gone away. Now, my everyday
“general feel” is so much better, I wonder why my general
doctor of many years never mentioned all these benefits from having
a better aligned spine, and the effect the spine has on all the
other parts of our bodies. I give myself a “pat on the back”
for traveling from Western Morris County 3 times a week, but mostly
for believing in you and your level of service. I have never written
a thank you letter to a doctor but in this case I feel I must. I
am looking forward to you helping my wife Vera in the next few months.
-John W.
“My wrist hurt so much after working on my computer
at work!”
I am so grateful that I came to Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation.
When I first came to Monmouth Pain, I was suffering from pain in
my neck that traveled down my shoulder, into my arm and hand. My
wrist would hurt so much after working on the computer at work.
My hand and fingers were even beginning to tingle. It was not only
affecting my work but it began to compromise my personal life as
well. Sleeping was very uncomfortable too. I am now beginning to
feel a lot better. The pain has subsided a lot. I am so glad that
I became a patient here.
-Raul D.
"I have tried all different medications, hypnosis,
and acupuncture over a course of 30 years, but they only offered
temporary relief of my pain."
I had a lot of pain in my wrist before coming to Monmouth Pain and
Rehabilitation. I have tried all different medications, hypnosis,
and acupuncture over a course of 30 years, but they only offered
temporary relief of my pain. My pain was so bad that I could not
participate in any physical activities. It was really affecting
my life! Since I started at Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation I have
virtually no pain anymore and my posture has improved a lot. I now
walk around town with my head up. Additionally, I no longer have
headaches and I am off codeine, celebrex, pamelor, and anaprox since
starting my treatments. And, I can bowl again! My life has improved
so much- I am more active, more alert, and a lot less pain.
-Lynn D.
“I
am so glad that I made the commitment to fixing the problem and
not just covering up the symptoms by wearing some ugly splint.”
I was experiencing numbness in both of my hands each and every night
I went to sleep. It would keep me up all night long. It was affecting
my work and personal life. I was extremely skeptical about trying
anything my medical doctor had not suggested. He even told me that
a chiropractor would not be able to help me. It got so bad that
I had to go against his recommendations. Let me tell you that was
the best thing I ever did. I was so worried about going and wasting
my time and money. But the doctors of Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation
made me feel comfortable and told me exactly why I was experiencing
the numbness and pain in my hands. They told me how long it was
going to take and they were right on the money. I am so glad that
I made the commitment to fixing the problem and not just covering
up the symptoms by wearing some ugly splint. Thanks!
-Marianne H.
"I
only wish we had found you six months earlier so we could have avoided
all the tests and disappointments with no relief."
My wife and I have just completed our 36 visit program
and are amazed and very pleased with the results. When we first
saw your report for treating Fibromyalgia we felt that after 6 months
of doctor's visits and over $10,000 in testing with no results we
would try your treatment. Looking back, it was the best thing we
could have ever done!
When
we started coming to you, Irene was in pain 24 hours a day and her
energy level was at an all time low. She was on medication for pain
and depression and slept a lot to avoid unnecessary movement.
Now,
just 3 months into your treatment program, Irene's pain is 95% gone
and her energy level is at 110%. She is back to the vibrant, bubbly
person she was before this illness hit her. All this without any
medication! We are so glad that we found you and your method of
treatment and can't thank you enough for what you have done for
the both of us. As a great side benefit, through your help, both
of us have lost weight and have changed our eating habits for the
better.
I
complement you and your staff for providing an atmosphere of professionalism
and true concern for your patients' well being and a pleasant experience
every visit. I only wish we had found you six months earlier so
we could have avoided all the tests and disappointments with no
relief.
We
both thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God bless you and
your exceptional work.
- Dom & Irene G.
"So,
thank you for your philosophy that focuses on more than symptom
relief, but treats the whole person..."
I wanted to thank you for your commitment to my health and the very
friendly way you did so. The decreas or absence of my symptoms is
fantastic and very encouraging; even symptoms I didn't know would
be so affected.
I
just met you when a co-worker brought you over to our workplace.
The offer of a free consultation lured me in and your open, personal
style made me stay. I never felt like I was having treatment, but
rather was seeing friends and taking steps for better health. I
had thought that I would need to live with my little aches and never
thought that they were connected to my spine (which makes so much
sense for me now) or that they could go away. YEAH!!!! In fact,
when I left New Jersey and moved to Colorado, some of my symptoms
came back - even some I forgot I had. But I started up again with
the chiropractor that you recommended and am feeling great.
So,
thank you for your philosophy that focuses on more than symptom
relief, but treats the whole person and for modeling a positive
attitude and friendliness that promotes wellness. I miss you guys!!
- Keri J.
"Coming
to Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation has been a very positive experience
for my body."
I initially sought chiropractic care for excruciating migraines.
Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation helped control and then eliminate
them through traction and adjustments. When I began care I had a
79% loss of curvature in my neck, bad allergies, asthma, chronic
back and neck pain and migraines. Through the process of treatment,
my allergies have disappeared, even the most difficult ones!
My
asthma is non-existent and my back and neck pain is infrequent.
Now, when I get sick, I feel stronger to fight the illness. Overall,
I feel stronger, more energetic and less worried that a headache
will ruin my day. Coming to Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation has
been a very positive experience for my body.
- Jane S.
"Thanks
Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation! Life is great!"
My family started with Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation for overall
wellness. My daughter had problems with bedwetting three to four
times a week. Within six weeks, she stopped. Thanks! My adorable
son had sleep problems from day one. Reflux, high fevers, and the
dreaded ear infections were common for him. From 18 to 30 months
of age, he had approximately13 ear infections, usually in both ears.
His pediatrician began to recommend tubes. I was completely against
it. Since being treated by the Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation
doctors, he's only had one infection and is sleeping through the
night. Thanks Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation! Life is great!
- Patricia H.
"It
is a way of awakening your God given capabilities..."
The care that I have received at Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation
has given me more than physical changes; it is a way of awakening
your God given capabilities to keep yourself healthy and whole.
-Joan H.
"Dr.
Dandrea's adjustments and treatment has had a profound impact on
my ability..."
In my life as an elite tri-athlete, Dr. Dandrea’s adjustments
and treatment has had a profound impact on my ability to train harder
and harder to achieve the best results thus far.
-Matt M.
"Chiropractic
freed me from pain."
I initially sought Chiropractic care because medical doctors weren’t
getting any results with my Multiple Sclerosis and the prescription
drugs were making me worse. Chiropractic freed me from pain. I have
learned to take responsibility for my own health. I used to ask
God to let me keep sleeping, now I’m excited to start each
day.
-Susan S.
"...He
sleeps completely through the night."
My son had sleep problems from day one. He got 13 ear infections
from 18 to 30 months of age. Since Dr. Tom started working with
my son, he has had only one infection and he sleeps completely through
the night. Thanks Dr. Tom. Life is great!
-Patricia H.
"I
no longer need any of the medications."
I originally sought care for my asthma and allergies. I also suffered
from chronic neck pain from a car accident. I was taking an antihistamine,
decongestant, vertigo medication, albuterol inhaler and a steroid
inhaler. I no longer need any of the medications. I have learned
that spinal health is imperative.
-Phyllis S.
"The
improvements in everything I do have been dramatic - even sleeping
better!"
I was not in any sort of pain when I went to the Chiropractor. Since
coming in for Chiropractic care, literally, the power has been “Switched
on”. The improvements in everything I do have been dramatic
– even sleeping better!
-Bob G.
