Deb Lazer Joins Integrative Chiropractic Center

NB_DebLazer_pose06Integrative Chiropractic Center in Branchburg is pleased to announce that Deb Lazer, therapeutic bodyworker and yoga instructor, is joining their team. Deb has been practicing bodywork for nearly 20 years, having graduated from the National Holistic Institute in Berkeley, California in 1994, and is licensed in both North Carolina and New Jersey. She has been practicing yoga since 1979 and has previously owned a studio in North Carolina called Pretzel Logic Yoga.

She calls herself a therapeutic bodyworker due to her focus on pain relief through serious Trigger Point therapy, Deep Tissue, John F. Barnes Myofascial Release and Myofascial Yoga. These techniques increase range of motion, allow for flexibility and mobility and decrease chronic pain. Her intent is to bring the soft-tissue body closer to "musculoskeletal neutral." When pain exists in one's body, it cannot be in neutral.

Deb also offers private yoga sessions- perfect for anyone longing for length in their muscles, chronic pain sufferers or yoga students who want to delve deeper in their own practice. She believes that working within a chiropractic center is ideal because the treatments offered complement each other. They can together assist the patient in moving forward toward his or her wellness goals by addressing and releasing restrictions in both the soft-tissue and skeletal bodies.

To celebrate her arrival, she is offering special introductory rates, including a 75 minute session for the price of 60 minutes ($85).

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
