Chiro Plus Wellness Center, Old Bridge Township

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

The "Plus" of ChiroPlus is the above-and-beyond service that we offer. We work with all insurance plans, and offer very reasonable fees for those without insurance. Ours is not a cold in-and-out center; we found that our patients appreciate our warm, friendly atmosphere and flexible hours, and a doctor that takes the time to talk -- offering helpful, encouraging advice on such things as weight loss, posture, stretching, exercise, and getting the most out of their active lifestyle. Our office is conveniently located in the heart of Old Bridge, with easy parking. We offer true Spinal Decompression for low back and sciatic conditions, HydroMassge, Chiropractic, Therapeutic execise and other services, but the most common comment we get is that our office is "the whole package", with a friendly staff and personable doctor. That's what ChiroPlus is all about.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

Dr. John Jaeger was a college professor for 17 years in NYC. In his own words, "While working there I had herniated a disc in my back. The orthopedic surgeon I went to see recommended spinal surgery. I was not very excited about the prospect of surgery, so I went to my chiropractor and was treated using spinal decompression. This brought my disc back to life and the pain was gone. I now use spinal decompression in my office. I get wonderful results and my patients are happy they chose ChiroPlus Wellness Center to treat their herniated disc."

What do you love most about your job?

The satisfaction and pleasure I get when I see a patient leave the office with a look of calm relief on their face, after being in pain for long periods of time.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?

When a patient told me that ChiroPlus saved his retirement. The patient was worried that he was going spend the rest of his golden years suffering from low back pain. Now he plays in a band and goes hiking on a weekly basis.
