EDITORS NOTE

BUT AS THE ANCIENT GREEK philosopher Aristotle said more than two thousand years ago, Personal beauty is a greater rec-ommendation than a letter of reference.

Aristotle knew that looking goodand making a good face-to-face impressioncan open doors for you. And its in this spirit that we present Bergen Health & Lifes first beauty issue, dedicated to helping you be the best you possible.

On the pages that follow, for example, youll learn tips from local experts on how to summerize your makeup routine. Im a bit embarrassed to admit it, but I wasnt very familiar with highlightersother than the neon Sharpie kinduntil I sought Daniela Musanos advice, which appears on page 24. Musano, the owner of Araya Rebirth in Ridgewood, certainly opened my eyes. And now Ive got a highlighter in my makeup bag. Speaking of eyes, weve got advice about those tooas well as lips and hair. Turn to page 20 to discover a fantastic yet quick trick to prevent saltwater and chlorine from drying out your lustrous locks.

Since what you wear certainly affects how you feel about yourself and the impression you make, we present some fantastic fashions on page 40. The look is everyday chic dresses and tops and bottoms that will serve you well from work to weekends.

Finally, be sure to check out the 40-plus local day spas on page 34, where you can book a massage or a facial, of course, as well as a Reiki, chakra balancing or music therapy sessionto pamper you on the inside as well as the outside. Now thats a beautiful thing!

Artistic revivalif you build it, they will come. theyre banking on that to happen in hacken-sack, where a new performing arts center is expected to attract crowds to a revitalized downtown.

Plans to repurpose the former Masonic temple at the corner of atlantic and State streets into a 224-seat state-of-the-art theater are underway, with a grand opening of the hackensack Performing arts Center anticipated for early next year.

this is ridiculously exciting for all of us, says greg liosi, director of the hackensack Cultural arts Center, a smaller venue on broadway, outside the citys main business district. a new facility like this will draw patrons to hackensack who will want to do something before or after the show. it will be a showcase for all of our restaurants and other great places.

no doubt it will also be a boost for the theater companies that currently use the smaller center on broadway. Organizations like the Company, hack-ensack theatre Company, teaneck new theatre and new Vision Players are excited by the idea of moving into the bigger facility, according to liosi. he adds that the new venue, with its beautiful lob-bies, raked seating and big stage, can accommodate larger acts.

the city has already ear-marked several weeks next year in the new arts center to host concerts, headlin-ers and national podcasts, liosi says. Well invest to bring in names that are recognizable to all. Follow the prog-

ress of the center at uppermain.org.

Being out on the water and seeing hundreds of egrets with the Manhattan skyline in the background is a wonderful juxtaposition!

there are three cruise itineraries from which to choose. Meadowlands Discovery is the organi-zations original environmental education tour and its perfect for those who enjoy viewing wildlife and wetlands. On Boating Through Bergen youll travel from the southern Meadowlands to hackensack while discussing the areas maritime history. and Excursion Around the Bay takes you down the hackensack river to newark bay.

Meadowlands Discovery is our bread-and-butter tour, and doing newark bay and seeing all the barges and tugboats in the harbor is really sweet for me too, Carola says. being out on the water and seeing hundreds of egrets with the Manhattan skyline in the background is a wonderful juxtaposition!

Sign up for one of the eco-cruises and see for yourself. Cruises are scheduled in advance and are open to all ages. tickets range from $10 to $30. to make a reservation or to find out more, visit hacken sackriverkeeper.org.

Youll see highways, industrial parks and old refineries during a car ride through the Meadowlands, but a boat ride is quite the oppositeits wetlands and wildlife, history and nature. get an up-close look at one of new Jerseys hidden gems this summer by hopping aboard a hackensack riverkeeper eco-cruisea 2.5-hour boat ride that traverses the regions various waterways, chan-nels and marshes.

We started this program to show people the wildlife and teach them about the history and importance of the Meadowlands, says Capt. hugh Carola, who has been leading eco-cruises for more than 15 years. We wanted to educate everyoneone class, one garden club, one seniors group, one scout pack at a timeand show the many species of birds, reptiles and other creatures that thrive here.

CruisE COntrOl

You can grab a cup of coffee at the Kuppi Coffee Company in edgewater, but theres much more to drink, eat and see at the new java joint. a former hair salon, the rustic space is divided into three areas: an artisan coffee bar up front, communal workspace for those with coffee and computers in tow, and a lounge area in the rear.

Your taste buds are in for a treat: Kuppi exclusively brews george howell Coffee from Massachusetts and teas from in Pursuit of tea. Dress your drink with a creamer from new Yorks battenkill Valley, then pair it

with pastries straight from balthazar bakery and Dough Doughnuts in new York City. also on the menu are sand-wiches, salads and gluten-free sweets. On one particular Sunday in June, they offered delectable chocolate cupcakes and chocolate pumpkin cake.

It started a decade ago with a hand-ful of abstract pieces on a cozy half-acre plot of land in Leonia. Soon, art starting popping up all over towna shiny chrome trumpet player here, a rainbow-colored feline there, a whatchamacallit across the street. Now, the artscape is bigger and bet-ter than ever.

This is Sculpture for Leonia, a borough-wide public display of artwork donated by both local and international artists. Today, there are more than 50 pieces peppered throughout downtown Leonia. Its most recent installation, Moments in a Stream, is on loan from renowned German artist Ewerdt Hilgemann.

The exhibit, which was previously part of a public display along Park Avenue in Manhattan, features seven stainless steel sculptures that range from eight to 20 feet in height. Each piece was created using an intricate

vacuum process that implodes the steel into unusual shapes.

In addition to the unique nature of the new exhibit, the enormity of it sets it apart from the other art, says Barbara Mitrani, president of Sculpture for Leonia, noting that two flatbed trucks and special equip-ment were needed for transportation and installation.

Check out Hilgemanns project at the corner of Station Parkway and Fort Lee Road, then take a stroll through town to see all of the works. Be sure to visit the Erika and David Boyd Sculpture Garden on Broad Avenue, where Sculpture for Leonia began. We cant believe it has been 10 years, Mitrani says. Many thanks go to all of the people and the orga-nizations that have helped us over the years.

Hes also known for coming over and nudging you with his head when he wants some extra playtime, Stanley reports. Yvonne Marki of Harrington Park and a

group of girlfriends recently headed to the Golden State for a week-long road trip

along the coast. Their journey started in San Francisco, where they visited landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Muir Woods and ate amazing food, especially the Mexi-can food, she says. But the best part of the trip was the drive along the central coast. It was really a life-changing experience, says Marki. Big Sur is something everyone

As his name suggests, Rookie has a youthful spirithe plays fetch with his squeaky ball before breakfast and chases chipmunks and squirrels in the backyard. Hes also known for coming over and nudging you with his head when he wants some extra playtime, Stanley reports. Yvonne Marki of Harrington Park and a

group of girlfriends recently headed to the Golden State for a week-long road trip

along the coast. Their journey started in San Francisco, where they visited landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Muir Woods and ate amazing food, especially the Mexi-can food, she says. But the best part of the trip was the drive along the central coast. It was really a life-changing experience, says Marki. Big Sur is something everyone

should see and experience in their lifetime. The next time you hit the road, take the latest issue of

Your hair shouldnt pay the price for your fun in the sun. And it wontif you follow this advice from Angela Alba, hairstylist and owner of The B Hive Organic Salon in Hillsdale. Hair is like a sponge; if you try to use a wet sponge to absorb water, it wont work, she says. Hair works the same way. Before hopping into a pool or the ocean, rinse your hair with clean, fresh water so that it wont absorb the saltwater, chlorine and chemicals. If you forget to rinse, use clarifying hair products to combat the effects of saltwater and chlorine. And be sure to use a deep conditioner once a week to moisturize and rejuvenate the haira mashed up ripe avocado works wonders due to its fatty acids, says Alba.

play up those peepersLong days at the beach and late summer nights could leave you with tired-looking eyes. Heres an easy fix: Brush a highlighting shadow under the brow bone and in the inner corners of your eyes, advises Brittany Bell Spencer, senior makeup artist at Lillys Blow Dry & Makeup Lounge in Oakland. This will automatically brighten and open your eyes while still keeping your makeup light for summertime. And dont forget mascara. You may want to switch to a waterproof brand when the mercury risesits the easiest way to avoid dreaded raccoon eyes. If you cant part with your favorite tube, brush a waterproof formula on your lower lashes only.

HIGHLIGHT THE CHEEKBONESLighten up makeup in summer and save the heavy contouring for nighttime and special occasions, suggests Daniela Musano, makeup artist and owner of Araya Rebirth in Ridgewood. During the day, go with a lighter color of blush on the top of the cheekbones, then apply a highlighter to create an illuminating effect. It will give you a red carpet glow. If you already have a natural glow from the sun, skip the blush and use just the highlighter.

FLAUNT YOUR POUTNo matter what you slip on your lips this season, first prep your pout with a scrub. Try this DIY version from Whitney Diacono, makeup artist and owner of Bisous Beauty Bar in Englewood. Mix brown sugar with a little bit of honey and gently scrub your lips to remove any dead skin, she says. Rinse with water and pat dry. Now youre ready for color. One trend for summer is a bold matte lip, says Spencer of Lillys Blow Dry & Makeup Lounge. I recommend an orangey-red shade, which is really on trend right now and looks great with any skin tone.

What is the mission statement of your practice?The goal is to provide high-quality service to each and every patient. Our office uses the latest in technology and treatment procedures, both of which make the visit easier and more comfortable. We want to help every patient attain the smile theyve always dreamed of.

What sets you apart from other dentists?Having personally experienced a traumatic visit to a dentist in the past, I understand the anxiety that some patients associate with the dental office. This is exactly what motivated me to enter this field. I honestly wanted to make it much more pleasurable for others, and have made it a mission that every patient has a positive experience during their visit in our office. The approach we offer is highly personalized, emphasizing quality over quantity. We stay connected with patients and can be reached during holidays and weekends, if needed.

How do you feel about educating your patients?I feel very strongly about giving my patients options, whether it is about treatment specifics or financing. Patients need to be comfortable with their own decisions, and each treatment plan is based on a personal assessment. The more patients know, the more satisfied they feel.

Why should patients choose you as their dentist?The passion I have for dentistry is what makes my work so different from others. Because I give my patients my individual and undivided attention, it is obvious to my patients that they are my main focus. I have many dentists who see me for their own dental treatment and there is no better compliment than that. I offer my patients an upscale spa-like atmosphere. I have a six chair office, with a remarkable staff of ten.

How individualized is your treatment method?Every patients needs in the office are individual and therefore the treatment must be customized to that patient. Often, treatment depends on finances, which is why we try and accommodate our patients as best as we can. We try to give everyone the best possibility of affording their treatment by offering in-office financing options, as well as third party options. Our focus is to treat our patients with the upmost care.

What are some of the benefits of cosmetic dentistry?When cosmetic dentistry is designed around health and proper function, the effects last for a long time, contributing to a persons well-being. Positive changes in a smile enhance ones attractiveness, providing a patient with increased self-confidence which reflects in their personal and professional life. Being able to smile without worrying about your teeth can be life-changing. Cosmetic enhancement rebuilds a smile using procedures like whitening, edge reshaping and replacement of old fillings and missing or broken teeth.

How do you help your patients make their dental decisions?The key is listening! By listening, I understand what a patient doesnt like about his smile. After taking time getting to know a persons goals, I take a series of photographs which I review with the patient. We look at the color, shape, size and position of the teeth. We also look at the face, and the lips since they frame the smile. We then explore options that will result in the desired smile.

What do your patients say about you?My patients call me a perfectionist. They appreciate the time I invest to properly evaluate, diagnose and treat and explain. Patients know that my philosophy is to be minimally invasive. My patients love their new smiles!

How do I choose the right cosmetic dentistry specialist?One of the most important, and confusing aspects of cosmetic dentistry is a dentists training. A general dentist who is formally and extensively trained to perform reconstructive dentistry is a prosthodontist. As one of the few board-certified prosthodontists not only in New Jersey, but in the country, I am highly trained to expertly restore form and function from the simplest to the most complex of cosmetic dental cases. In addition, I choose to be a sole practitioner rather than part of a corporate dental office so that I can take the time to properly care for every patient showing our deepest respect and compassion. Whether you need a single implant or a full smile makeover, you should never hesitate to ask your dentist about their training in cosmetic dentistry. Call for a consultation and get started on your new, beautiful smile.

What is the main focus in your practice?We concentrate on both laser and implant dentistry. Two major advantages of using laser dentistry are that it allows patients to have work completed with little or no anesthesia and it speeds healing. Utilizing implants makes it possible to replace missing teeth without having to harm existing healthy teeth.

How does your way of doing things help you to stand out amongst other practitioners in the area?I believe that it is absolutely necessary to treat each patient with the utmost respect and we encourage our patients to take an active role when making decisions about treatment. Our practice creates a personalized plan that is catered to each patients needs, desires and budget.

How do you know that your patients are satisfied?We have a direct and foolproof way of finding out. We simply ask them! My staff routinely asks whether a patients needs have been met and encourages him or her to tell us what we could have done better.

The purpose of our office is to improve the lives of our patients.

Breathe easyn The best prescrip-tion for healthy lungs is to stop smoking, advises pulmonologist Srikant Kondapaneni, M.D. Better yetdont start.n Improve your diet, and exercise regularly. Youll be out of breath faster if youre over-weight, he says.n Go ahead and take over-the-counter med-icine for a cough, but see your doctor if your symptoms extend be-yond 10 days. Make sure its not a bacterial or viral illness, says Dr. Kondapaneni.n Dont ignore condi-tions like snoring and sleep apnea, which can lead to heart problems and stroke.

Learn how to save a lifen When help isnt immediately available during an emergency, your quick thinking might be the differ-ence between life and death. The longer you wait to treat a heart attack, the more dam-age is done to the heart, say EMTs. n Recognize the symptoms: Men may experience shortness of breath, pressure on the chest, and pain in the left arm and jaw. Women may feel shortness of breath and pain at the bot-tom of the sternum. n Perform basic CPR or use an automated external defibrillator on someone who has gone into cardiac ar-rest until help arrives.

Chronic pain? Food can be your best ally n If you suffer from chronic painarthritis, fibromyalgia, neuro-pathic paina change in diet might be the key to feeling better, says Despina Psillides, M.D., medical director of the Graf Center for Integrative Medicine. n Chronic pain can be caused by inflamma-tion, and many types of foods can cause inflammation, including wheat, sugar, artificial sweeteners and gluten. n So what foods should you eat? Try whole grains, fruits, vegetables, omega 3-rich fatty fish and olive oil, Dr. Psillides recommends.

HERES WHAT YOU MISSED!

Reduce your risk for heart and vascular problemsn Monitor diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, particularly if you are a smoker. These are the greatest risk factors of stroke, says Thomas Bernik, M.D., chief of vascular surgery. These are things you can try to control, he says. n Difficulty walk-ing can be an early indicator of vascular disease. Consider ultrasound testing to differentiate the dis-ease from arthritis and other ailments. n Know your family history. If your mother or father have had an aneurysm, its possible that will be passed down, he says.

A hillsdAle designer trAnsforms A dArk pAneled spAce into A bright, expAnsive AreA for

entertAiningAnd hAnging out with the fAmily.


When searching for inspiration for a 700-square-foot living and dining room renovation, hillsdale-based interior designer Jennifer pacca came up with a classic-meets-contempo-rary motif after she and the mont-vale homeowner picked out a pair of area rugsone popped with pattern and color, while the other was understated and neutral. they like a classic design, but were open to suggestions, says pacca. and a more contempo-rary look is in keep-ing with the style of the house.

to begin, pacca stripped the space of its ski lodge design, ripping up old carpeting and

Exposed beams and dark wood flooring create a rustic feel in this Montvale living room, where contem-porary furnishings keep the space fresh, says interior designer Jennifer Pacca of Jennifer Pacca Interiors.

removing dark cedar paneling from the walls and ceiling. a wall separating the living room and dining area also was removed. The dining room was so narrow that it made sense to create one big, open floor plan, explains Pacca, noting that the family loves to entertain and needed room for everyone to spread out.

Sheetrock was installed throughout the newly expanded space and painted a soft peachy beigethe tone of the dining room rug as well as other rooms in the home. dark engineered wood flooring complements the solid wood ceiling beams, which were spared during demolition. The floors and beams give the room a rustic feeling, but we brought in contemporary pieces to keep it looking fresh, she says.

Pacca worked with the homeowner to find club chairs and a sofa with nailhead trim for the living room, where the patterned area

rug and bold throw pillows pop with color and offset the other-wise neutral tones. Unique objets dart adorn the accent tables. In the dining area, a colorful landscape mural complements the grid of nine smaller works hanging on an adjacent wall. I wanted to break it up a bitI didnt want to hang two big paintings.

John Zdankowski of Hillsdale-based Kitchen and bath reno-vators constructed a built-in bench and wall unit, and also trans-formed the old brick fireplace, which now features a mantel with a flat-screen television and wainscot treatment above it.

We designed the mantel to become a focal pointnot just a mantel with a TV hanging over it, Pacca says. The built-ins allow the owners to display some pretty pieces from their collection as well as photos of the family. The result? The homeowners are happy. and a designer cant ask for much more than that.

Home.0716.BER.5.indd 48 6/15/16 3:09 PM


Opposite: When family and friends gather in the living room, their attention is imme-diately drawn to the fireplace. The design team created a mantel with wainscot accents to make it the focal point of the spaceeven when the wall-mounted televi-sion is turned off.

This page: A built-in window seat flanked by shelves allows the homeowners to dis-play family photos and mementos. Roman shades provide privacy when needed and are beautiful and light-filtering at the same time, says Pacca.

INGREDIENTSn 18 oz. full-fat goats milk yogurtn Salt and freshly ground black peppern bunch of small carrotsn bunch of mixed small beetsn 3 tbs. olive oiln 3 garlic cloves, unpeeledn 1 sprig thyme, leaves pickedn 2 tbs. coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsleyn 1 tb. coarsely chopped mintn Seeds from 1 pomegranaten cup sliced pistachiosn 1 tb. pomegranate molassesn 1 to 2 tbs. pistachio or extra virgin olive oiln tsp. ground sumac

DIRECTIONSn Season the yogurt with salt and black pepper. line a fine-mesh nylon sieve with a cheesecloth and scoop the seasoned yogurt into the sieve. Suspend it over a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave in the fridge for 24 hours to allow the water to drain from the yogurt. the result is a soft cheese called labneh.

n Preheat the oven to 375f. Scrub the carrots and beets and remove the stalks and leaves. Cut any large carrots in half and add to a roasting pan, drizzle with the oil and season with salt and black pepper. tuck the garlic cloves in with the carrots, scat-ter with the thyme and roast on the middle rack of the oven for about 30 minutes, depending on size, until tender.

n Cook the unpeeled beets in a saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, drain and leave until cool enough to handle. Peel and cut into bite-sized wedges.

n Put the carrots and beets into a bowl, add the chopped herbs, squeeze in the roasted garlic from its skin and season with salt and black pepper. Mix the veggies gently using your hands and arrange on a serving platter. Dot the labneh over the top and scatter with the pomegranate seeds and pistachios. Drizzle over the pomegranate molasses and pistachio or olive oil and season with a sprinkling of the sumac. Serve immediately.

Goats Milk Labneh with Carrot, Beet and Pomegranate Salad Serves 4 to 6


TASTES




INGREDIENTSn 810 mandarins or clementines

choose firm ones, which are easier to peel

n cup superfine sugar n Juice of 2 large oranges n 1 to 2 tsp. rosewater or orange flower watern Seeds from pomegranate n cup shelled pistachios, coarsely choppedn 2 to 3 sprigs mint, coarsely chopped

DIRECTIONSn for a more elegant look to the finished salad, rather than using your hands to peel the mandarins, cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of each and sit them upright on the cutting board. Using a sharp, serrated knife, and work-ing from top to bottom, cut the peel away in strips using a swaying action. try to cut all of the pith away, leaving the fruit in a near barrel shape. Cut each mandarin in half through the middle and arrange in a serving dish.

n to make the caramel, put the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add 2 tbs. of cold water, and set over low to medium heat to dissolve the sugar with-out stirring. increase the heat to medium, bring the syrup to a boil and cook until it becomes amber-colored, swirling the pan to ensure that it cooks evenly.

n Meanwhile, heat the orange juice until just below boiling in a separate saucepan or in a bowl in the microwave. Slide the caramel pan off the heat and carefully add the hot juicethe cara-mel will splutter furiously, so keep your hands covered by a cloth and your face away from the pan. return to the heat to melt any hardened caramel, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. remove from the heat, add the rosewater or orange flower water and let cool for a few minutes.

n Pour the caramel over the mandarins and stir gently to coat the fruit. leave for 1 hour or so for the caramel to flavor the little oranges and vice versa.

n Scatter with the pomegranate seeds, pistachios and mint, and serve.

Caramelized Mandarin Salad Serves 4 to 6

IF YOUVE EVER EATEN AT A JAPANESE restaurant, youve likely sampled edamame (pronounced eh-dah-MA-may). These young green soybeans are typically served in their fuzzy pod, steamed and sprinkled with coarse salt, and are eaten by dragging the pod between the teeth, releasing the beans. The nutty, buttery flavor and somewhat crunchy texture make edamame a popular snack or appetizer, but the beans are also low in calories, high in protein and fiber, and incredibly easy to prepare at home.

POWER UPOne cup of unshelled edamame rings in at just 190 calories and yields a hefty eight grams of fiber. Its also a complete protein (meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids), boasting 17 grams a cupabout as much as three eggs. Edamame is an excellent source of folate, manga-nese and vitamin K too, as well as a good source of copper, phosphorous, magne-sium, thiamin and iron. And, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research, it contains a variety of phytochemi-cals that may be beneficial in preventing and fighting cancer. So munch away!

BUY/STORE/SERVEEdamame can be purchased fresh, frozen and dry-roasted with various seasonings (sea salt, wasabi) for snacking right out of

the bag. The fresh varietyavailable during late summer at Asian grocery stores like Mit-suwa Marketplace in Edgewaterlasts only a day or two in the fridge. Once cooked, the pods can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a few days. Frozen edamame, on the other hand, will keep in the freezer for about a year.

To prepare, boil the fresh or frozen pods for about four minutes, drain and immerse in an ice bath to stop the cooking. (You dont want them to get mushy!) Sprinkle with coarse salt and, if youd like, other spices such as garlic or cayenne. Or remove the beans from the pods (gently squeeze with your fingers to release them) and incorporate into your favorite dips, salads and stir-fries.

Some folks prefer to steam edamame, which is the way it is prepared in many Asian restaurantspurists argue this method retains more of the nutrients. To steam, place a steamer basket into a large saucepan and fill the pan with about an inch of water, mak-ing certain that the water does not touch the basket. Bring the water to a boil and place the frozen edamame in the basket. Cover with a lid and steam until tender, about two minutes. Another option: Edamame can be shelled and roasted (350F for 30 to 40 minutes) with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.

DID YOU KNOW?Edamame comes from the Japanese words eda (branch or stem) and mame (beans), translating to beans on a branch or stem

beans because the beans were often sold while still attached to the

stem. Although edamame has been enjoyed in East Asian

countries for more than seven centuries, it didnt

become popular in the United States until the

1980s when a TV miniseries, Shogun, brought about a boom in Japanese food and culture in California, according to the 2009 book History of Edamame, Green Vegetable Soybeans, and Vegetable-Type Soybeans. And the word edam-

ame didnt appear in the Merriam-

Webster dictionary until 2008.

Why cant the sharp pains in my foot and leg be correctly diagnosed? [A] Often times, nerve conduction studies miss a diagnoses of functional nerve pain, because at the time of the test, a muscle that typically may compress a nerve is not inflamed or engorged with blood (such as after exercise), and therefore doesnt compress the nerve as it courses through small openings in the muscle or nearby fascia. Our office often diagnoses these hidden problems. Common causes of nerve pain may be from previous trauma, either from a direct fall; hit on the area or from chronic overuse of the foot or leg; or simply one may have a genetic predisposition to this malady.

In these types of foot and leg nerve disorders, scar tissue or fibroses form over the nerve or the tunnel that the nerve courses through gets scarred, inhibiting it from functioning normally. If its a sensory nerve, you may feel numbness, tingling or just a sharp, fire-like burning or radiating pain down the leg or in the foot. If its a motor (muscle) nerve thats affected, you may notice a weakness when you push off or when you lift your foot or toes upwards.

During my extensive exam, I can clinically decipher which nerve is involved. Our office is the only NJ member of U.S. Neuropathy Centers and has advanced training to diagnose various types of localized nerve conditions. We perform short-acting selective nerve blocks of each individualized nerve to prevent it from firing. If all the pain immediately goes away, then we have diagnosed the exact pinched nerve.

For treatment, we provide micro-nerve surgery (performed under a microscope or under loop magnification glasses) or advanced non-invasive treatments to reverse symptoms, including the MicroVas Nerve Machine, nerve medications, and injections to reduce scar tissue.

If you are experiencing pain, or foot/leg weaknesseven if you have been treated by others, call us today for a proper diagnosis and care.
