(201) Magazine is proud to present the results of the first annual Bergen’s Top Chiropractors survey, conducted by Professional Research Services (PRS) of Royal Oak, Mich. PRS contacted each licensed and active chiropractor within Bergen County. PRS asked each chiropractor in an exclusive peer-review online survey which chiropractors they would recommend, other than themselves, across the county. Each chiropractor was allowed to recommend up to three colleagues. Once the ballots were complete, each nominee was carefully evaluated on the basis of the survey results, the legitimacy of their license and their current standing with the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners. Chiropractors who received the highest number of votes in chiropractic medicine are reflected in the following Top Chiropractor list for 2015. (Note: The opinions are not those of (201), North Jersey Media Group or any of its employees.) This list is a resource for anyone seeking professional chiropractic care, but by no means does it fully represent all of the fine chiropractors in Bergen. The chiropractors selected reflect the confidential opinions of the survey participants. Moreover, voters and honorees chosen in the voting process were not required to advertise. Please join us in congratulating all of the winners. ALLENDALE ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS DR. THEODORE A.

His care focuses on problems of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems; including but not limited to neck and back problems, joint and extremity pains, and headaches. He treats patients young and old, including many local high school and college athletes. Care is individualized for all patients to help them regain and maintain their health, not just alleviate pain. “As a chiropractic patient for over 40 years, and a practitioner for over 30 years, I always tell my patients that I practice what I preach. Take care of your health and your health will take care of you.” As a solo practitioner, Dr. Scilingo maintains personal contact with his patients, “myself and my staff treat every patient like family.” Dr. Scilingo graduated from New York Chiropractic College and has a post-graduate degree in Sports Medicine. 510 Broadway l Norwood (201) 784-9303 JETT A.

His focus is finding the underlying cause of a patients’ symptoms, whether generated from soft tissue, joints, muscles or organs. Dr. Franchini believes in maintaining the appropriate movement of the spinal joints and optimizing biomechanics throughout the musculoskeletal system. Poor biomechanics in your spine can lead to abnormal wear and tear (arthritis), activation of the body’s “alarm system,” poor posture, and reduced overall performance, especially in the competitive athlete. All of these can occur without symptoms. If these are not addressed they can lead to reduced movement and flexibility, degenerative processes and pain syndromes. He is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician and one of only a handful of chiropractors in Bergen County affiliated with the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians. Highly skilled in treating sports injuries, Dr. Franchini applies many of the progressive techniques he uses to heal athletes to his everyday patients.

PICCHIERRI, DC Paramus Medical and Sports Rehabilitation Center 205 Robin Road, Suite 118 Paramus (201) 225-1511 www.paramusmedicalandsports.com 120 OCTOBER 2015 | (201) MAGAZINE At Paramus Medical and Sports Rehabilitation Center, owner and clinical coordinator Dr. Marc Picchierri and his team provide innovative therapy that gets results. His commitment to providing the best personal care with an innovative multi-specialty treatment approach, all under one roof, is what makes Dr. Picchierri a top chiropractor. The center provides chiropractic care, physical therapy, and both complementary and alternative medicine options including: acupuncture, massage therapy, IM+X Pilates Therapy, nutritional consultations and a weight loss program. What sets Dr. Picchierri apart from other Chiropractic Physicians is that he has assembled a highly credentialed staff of physical therapists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, and nutritional experts. The Physical Therapy Department provides a state-ofthe-art Pilates Therapy program designed specifically for those with back and hip problems, supervised by a licensed physical therapist who is also trained and certified in Pilates. “Our physical therapists have extensive experience treating post-surgical orthopedic patients,” he says. All medical personnel are licensed by the State of New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. A chiropractor for over 35 years, Dr. Picchierri added his multispecialty treatment protocols to his practice based on extensive research. “I’ve studied numerous research articles related to back and neck pain in medical and chiropractic journals,” he explains. “Conditions such as sciatica and chronic back pain are difficult to treat. The research indicates that patients respond positively to a multi-disciplinary approach.” The Cox Technique (a gentle, hands-on spinal decompression/manipulation treatment that relieves pain in the back, leg, neck, arm and other spinal related conditions) is offered. Dr. Picchierri says, “About 50 percent of chiropractors are trained in this technique. However, my Chiropractic staff and I are only a small percentage in the nation who are certified in Cox Decompression and Manipulation.” The Chiropractic Department utilizes Sigma Instrument Methods, an FDA-approved computerized technology that is ideal for patients with conditions where osseous spinal manipulation is contraindicated, or for those patients who are sensitive to the popping sounds of traditional manipulation. Another patient plus is the 3-D ActiveTrac™, a state-of-the-art spinal decompression table that lets patients with painful conditions, particularly in the neck and lower back, including disc herniation and bulging, receive gentle, effective treatment. Dr. Picchierri has a broad patient base that also includes children, pregnant women, the elderly, and collegiate and professional athletes. He is a Professional Sports Care certified chiropractor for the PGA Tour. Dr. Picchierri is a graduate of the New York Chiropractic College. He is a member of the American Chiropractic and Association of New Jersey Chiropractors. The doctor is a published author of the book Bouncing Back from Back Pain. At Paramus Medical and Sports Rehabilitation Center, patients and their comfort are a priority. One unique patient benefit is complimentary child sitting. “Every patient receives an individualized treatment plan and the full support of our staff,” says Dr. Picchierri. “Our mission is to provide excellent patient care in an environment that promotes wellness and long lasting health. We are driven by our commitment to help people return to good health with a multi-disciplinary approach that includes education, treatment, and prevention. We believe the highest level of care lies not just in treating symptoms, but in empowering individuals to thrive in fully active, healthy, and productive lives.” SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION Non-Surgical Spine, Knee & Leg Pain Center of NJ, Center for Chronic Solutions, MedWell LLC 33 Central Avenue Midland Park (201) 848-8000 www.drmaz.com SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION “Doctors should look for the underlying cause of pain and discomfort rather than giving pills for managing symptoms,” says Dr. Ali Mazandarani. “Many years ago I was involved in a terrible car accident; it was finally a chiropractor who was able to help me get back on my feet, without the use of drugs.” That life-changing accident sparked Dr. Mazandarani’s interest in natural medicine and non-invasive pain relief. “I became fascinated with how the human body works; the ‘mechanics’ of it,” he says. “Often people simply accept their diagnosis of thyroid disorder, fibromyalgia or other chronic conditions” he explains that symptoms such as low energy, fatigue, memory loss, anxiety and depression… are the result of such conditions and can be helped with natural methods.” Many of Dr. Mazandarani’s patients have been told by other healthcare providers that they must be on medications for the rest of their lives, and oftentimes it’s the multiple medications that cause the patients’ adverse side effects. “Along with our team of physicians we are compelled to help these patients, many of whom come to us as a last resort,” he says. “With our individualized treatment options we treat the patients’ discomfort while looking beyond their symptoms to the root cause of the problem. I am proud to say that more often than not we are able to give them the help they so desperately need.” MedWell provides patients with a panel of medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists and diagnosticians under one roof. “This enables us to diagnose and treat our patients on the same day,” he explains. “We offer a variety of drug-free and non-surgical options for spine, knee and leg pain in addition to addressing symptoms of chronic conditions.” The originator of the “Maz Method,” Dr. Mazandarani devoted more than a decade to research on functional neurology, functional endocrinology and functional medicine. He has also collaborated with more than 100 doctors, searching for solutions for chronic conditions. “After years of research, I discovered that some of the most common denominators to chronic conditions are inflammation, toxins and decreased immune response,” he explains. Dr. Mazandarani also found that in addition to being given chiropractic hands-on care, patients suffering from chronic conditions also need to be treated both neurologically and metabolically. “I began doing this while implementing a regimen of noninvasive and high-grade supplements to address and boost their systems. After assessing hundreds of patients who exhibited tremendous improvement, the ‘Maz Method’ was born,” he says. Dr. Mazandrani also authored “How to Live Pain Free & Happy: Drug Free Methods for Resolving Neuropathy, Restless Legs, Fibromyalgia, Headaches, and Other Chronic Conditions. The book describes the “Maz Method,” his innovative approach to improving quality of life without the use of prescription medications. A nationally recognized chiropractic physician, author and lecturer, Dr. Mazandarani has treated numerous nationally recognized athletes and is among a select group of doctors who participate in an annual fitness conference directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The recipient of numerous awards, he was acknowledged by the New Jersey Senate as a “model figure to emulate and set a standard of excellence toward which others might strive.” (201) MAGAZINE | OCTOBER 2015 TOP CHIROPRACTORS DR.

CECE “We want our patients to feel that they are part of our family,” says Dr. T. Joseph Dr. John Cece. Smith “We get involved on a personal level because we do not see our patients as just an aching back, headache or sports injury; we get to know our patients and treat the whole person.” As a Doctor of Chiropractic and Board Certified Rehabilitation Doctor, Dr. Cece has over 20 years of training and expertise in spinal adjustment and performs advanced spinal correction. He stays on the leading edge of his profession by consistently attending post-doctorate educational seminars. Dr. Cece is distinguished in the diagnosis and treatment of lower back pain, headache, neck and upper shoulder pain and upper and lower extremity problems. Moreover, he specializes in sports injuries. “When I treat sports injury patients, I focus on the three P’s: Pain, Prevention and Performance,” says Dr. Cece. His care is sought by world class athletes and performers, Rockettes, Broadway dancers and athletes at all levels of competition. In addition, he has special expertise in the treatment of pediatric chronic ear infections and in Webster Technique during pre-natal care. “My office is set up to assist pregnant women in staying comfortable with their changing body shape,” he explains. “I use a myriad of gentle techniques that can be applied in different postures to maximize their effectiveness.” Dr. Cece takes great pride in providing chiropractic care for multiple extended families. Over time his practice includes several four-generation families and many more three-generation families. “It’s incredibly gratifying to be part of the fabric of a family when you have provided care for the great grandparents, grandparents, parents and their children,” he says. Dr. Cece maintains excellent relationships with local MDs. He firmly asserts, “What is right for the patient is communication between their providers.

Very few require surgery, and prewww.drjcece.com scription medications may mask pain but are certainly not effective in the actual healing and biomechanics of an injury. I believe the efficacy of my treatment and my ability to relate the science of chiropractic has not only resulted in gaining referrals but I now have quite a few medical doctors as patients.” Dr. Cece loves keeping his treatment “tool bag” filled with options. Two notable and innovative treatments he employs are cold laser and Koren Specific Technique (KST): “KST uses an acupressure instrument, called an Arthrostim, to provide gentle, ‘non-cracking,’ specific corrections to the spine and extremities,” he says. “This technique provides the great advantage of providing care during different patient postures, i.e., standing, sitting or in their actual position of pain.” KST also allows for the subtle adjustment of the cranial bones and temporomandibular joint (TMJ); Cold laser is also known as therapeutic laser. Dr. Cece conveys, “It is a wonderful tool with a proven track record of success in reducing pain and stimulating healing. What drives most people to our office is pain. Carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ, Plantar Fasciitis, shingles, and other peripheral neuropathies such as fibromyalgia, respond quite nicely to cold laser treatments.” Dr. Cece is currently writing a paper based on a case study on cold laser and its use in chronic open-wound care.

If a person strains a muscle it usually clears up within three or four days. If the pain lasts longer, it shouldn’t be ignored,” cautions Dr. Hans Kalchbrenner. “Even if the pain eventually subsides, it will often flair up six, seven years later when arthritic changes take place.” In practice for 35 years, Dr. Kalchbrenner comments, “There is not much I haven’t seen and I’ve had great success with both chronic and acute conditions. I’ll spend Dr. Hans Kalchbrenner with considerable time getting to know and Alison Rienzo, Office Manager understand what is behind a patient’s problem. Stress is often a contributing factor.” Well respected in medical circles, he receives frequent referrals from orthopedists and neurologists and often works in tandem with these practitioners to insure continuity in patient care. In conjunction with traditional musculoskeletal adjustments, Dr. Kalchbrenner employs physical therapy in the office to help loosen muscles and increase blood supply to the problem area, thus attaining maximum benefits. .

They perform thorough Chiropractic, Neurological and Orthopedic exams to determine their underlying cause of problems. On the second visit, a report of the doctor’s findings and treatment options are discussed with the patient. “It’s important for the patient to understand what is causing their problem, how to treat it and how long it will take to heal,” says Dr. Ishitani. Ishitani Chiropractic offers patients a full range of chiropractic techniques, including: physiotherapy treatments such as electro stimulation, ultrasound, neuromuscular re-education to improve impaired movement, balance and coordination, as well as therapeutic exercises.

He uses a specific, yet gentle treatment technique that’s both effective and safe, and his practice’s patient base ranges from newborns right through senior citizens. Dr. Panzica's office is a Neurologic Relief Center, offering a free test for people who suffer with chronic pain and other neurological conditions like fibromyalgia and neuropathy. Dr. Panzica has been in practice for 38 years and is a member of the Foundation for Wellness Professionals. He is a well-regarded guest speaker at both national and local chiropractic conferences, and is also available to speak on a multitude of health topics at both community and corporate venues. Dr. Panzica’s family practice accepts all insurance plans. Dr. Roger D. Sahoury refuses to merely address a patient’s symptoms. His ultimate goal is to detect and eliminate the hidden cause. His corrective wellness approach addresses physical, chemical and emotional stressors. “Our focus at the Center is supporting families on their journey to achieving and maintaining optimal health." A consummate detective, the graduate of Life University in Marietta, GA has at his disposal more than 50 different techniques to accomplish this goal ranging from corrective chiropractic care to allergy desensitization, massage therapy and nutritional counseling. The chiropractor’s latest addition is the Lighten Up Program Fat-Loss System. Rather than a diet, Dr. Sahoury describes it as a systematic approach that resets your metabolism and targets stubborn fat. A renowned author and international corporate speaker, his latest book, debuting this month (October), is entitled Gladiator’s Guide to Corporate Health and Wealth. It's an informative adjunct to his customized workshops, the most popular being called “Stress Busters.” Widely present on social media, Dr. Sahoury is a frequent guest on WCBS-TV and has been featured in Forbes.
