Still waking up with stiff joints?

You stretch.
You walk it off.
You take ibuprofen.
But the stiffness keeps coming back.

Here’s what most people miss:
Joint stiffness usually isn’t about age or bad luck.
It’s about inflammation, inactivity, and how your body moves (or doesn’t).

You might notice:
🛌 Morning stiffness that lasts over 30 minutes
🦵 Knees or hips that feel “stuck” after sitting
🔥 Swelling, warmth, or redness in joints
⚠️ Pain that worsens through the day
🔊 Grinding or clicking sounds when you move

The 2 most common causes?
➡️ Osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear of cartilage)
➡️ Rheumatoid arthritis (your immune system attacking your joints)

Some joints loosen up with gentle movement.
Others signal an underlying problem needing treatment.

What helps most people feel better:
💪 150 minutes of low-impact activity per week
🌡 Heat in the morning, cold after activity
🥗 Anti-inflammatory foods like salmon, berries, and turmeric
🛏 7–9 hours of sleep to support joint recovery
⚖️ Losing even 5 lbs takes 20 lbs of pressure off your knees

Still feeling stuck?
There are medical treatments that target joint pain directly:
💉 Cortisone or HA injections to reduce pain
🩺 Physical therapy to restore movement
🧬 Regenerative medicine (PRP or stem cells) for long-term relief

If your stiffness hasn’t improved in 2–3 weeks…
If it’s affecting your work or sleep…
Get it checked. Don’t wait.

At Core Medical & Wellness, our doctors treat the root cause—not just the symptoms.

Appointments available this week.
Call (201) 729-0001 or book online.

Take the first step toward moving freely again. Your joints will thank you.

Still living with joint pain because you think surgery is the only option?

Think again.

Athletes like Rafael Nadal, Daniel Cormier, and Hines Ward didn’t go under the knife first.

They used PRP therapy — and for good reason:

💉 It uses your own blood
⏱️ Takes less than 1 hour
💵 Costs less than surgery
📉 Has almost no side effects
🛠️ Requires little to no downtime

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) works by injecting concentrated platelets right into the injured area — helping your body heal faster.

Here are some injuries it helps treat:

🔥 Rotator cuff tears
⚡ Early knee arthritis
🎾 Tennis elbow
🏊 Overuse from sports like swimming, golf, baseball
📦 Chronic joint or muscle pain from repetitive tasks at work

And unlike steroid shots or painkillers, PRP doesn’t mask the pain.

It supports real healing.

Studies show people feel significant relief between 2 to 12 months after starting PRP — in many cases, avoiding surgery entirely.

You don't need to be a pro athlete to access this.

If you're tired of waking up in pain, grab the solution that works with your body — not against it.

Is your neck pain more than “just stress”?

🛌 Waking up stiff and sore
🖥️ Struggling to sit at your desk
📱 Getting headaches after looking at your phone
💤 Can’t sleep because your neck’s throbbing
🔋 Feeling like you never fully recharge
🖐️ Tingling or numbness down your arms or fingers

Most people try heat packs and painkillers.
Some ignore it until it gets worse.
Others start to wonder if surgery is the only answer.

It doesn’t have to go that far.

At Core Medical Wellness, we’ve helped thousands of people in New Jersey get relief—with zero surgery.

Here’s how:

✅ We listen to your full story
✅ We test your movement, strength, nerves
✅ We use imaging only when it matters
✅ We design a treatment plan just for you

This could include:

🧘‍♀️ Targeted physical therapy
📏 Posture & ergonomic fixes
💊 Short-term meds to calm inflammation
💉 Injections like nerve blocks or steroids
🔥 Radiofrequency to quiet painful nerves
💥 In rare cases, we refer for expert surgical care—but only if needed

You don’t need to keep living in survival mode.

Neck pain isn’t the problem.
Letting it go untreated is.

Want to get back to sleeping well, moving easily, and living pain-free?

Schedule your consultation now with a neck pain doctor who treats the cause—not just the symptoms.

Is back pain making even simple tasks impossible?

😖 Pain shooting from your lower back down your leg
🦵 Numbness or tingling in one side of your body
💤 Weakness that stops you from walking or standing
🔄 Symptoms that get worse when you sit or move
🛑 Loss of reflexes in severe cases

Many people assume sciatica is the diagnosis. It’s not. Sciatica means your sciatic nerve is getting pinched—usually by a different root problem.

What causes it?
• Slipped or herniated discs in your spine
• Spinal stenosis narrowing your nerve pathways
• Degenerative disc disease wearing down your backbone
• Piriformis muscle trapping the nerve
• Sudden injuries and everyday posture

One-size-fits-all treatments don’t work. You need a personalized plan that targets the cause—not just the pain. At Core Medical Wellness, I start with a careful exam that covers:
• Your health history and physical symptoms
• Reflexes and movement limits
• MRI, X-ray, or nerve studies if needed

Most people never need surgery. I see faster results with:
• Targeted physical therapy and movement changes
• Anti-inflammatory medicines for symptom relief
• Heat and ice for pain management
• Epidural steroid or nerve block injections to calm severe flares
• Advanced options like spinal cord stimulation only when less invasive methods fail

Here’s my approach:
• No unnecessary surgeries
• Simple plans based on what works best for you
• Constant feedback so you know what’s happening at every step

Ask yourself:
Is your pain making you miss out on life?
Does sitting, sneezing or bending make it far worse?
Are you unsure if you need specialized care?

If you answer yes, don’t wait. Sciatic nerve pain isn’t one-size-fits-all. With the right diagnosis, most people get lasting relief—with no surgery.

Wondering how soon you can get back to work, sports, or sleep? Need to know if you should see a specialist or if home care is enough?

Think CPR training is boring?

We thought so too—until we tried keeping a straight face while doing chest compressions to a Bee Gees beat.

Today, the Core Medical & Wellness team refreshed our CPR skills.

Here’s what went down:

💪 Practiced real-time chest compressions
🏃‍♂️ Timed ourselves for speed + efficiency
🎵 Tried syncing compressions to “Stayin’ Alive” (not as easy as it sounds)
🤣 Failed miserably at not laughing
👨‍⚕️ Shared real stories of CPR in action
❤️ Walked away feeling more confident—and more connected as a team

Everyone should know how to do CPR.

It’s not just for healthcare professionals.

It could be the difference between life and death—for a coworker, a friend, a stranger.

When was your last CPR training?

Book the refresher. Grab your team. Make it fun.

Then go save a life.

Still think back pain means you're just “getting older”?
You’re wrong—and it’s holding you back.

🧠 Most chronic pain isn’t about “aging”
🔥 90% of what pain docs treat starts in the spine
🚗 It happens from car accidents, sports, or poor posture
💊 Pills only mask symptoms—they don’t fix the real problem
🧬 Regenerative medicine helps your body heal itself

At Core Medical & Wellness, this is the approach:

- Fix the root cause
- Craft a personalized treatment plan
- Avoid surgery whenever possible
- Use cutting-edge but safe therapies like PRP
- Get you active again—not stuck in a cycle of meds

And when you're "the last stop" after 10+ failed visits?
He listens first.
He looks at your full history.
Then he builds a plan—not a prescription pad.

You don't settle for pain.
Why are you settling for treatments that don't solve it?

Reclaim your movement.
Reclaim your life.

Worn out from always putting yourself last?

💤 Running on 4 hours of sleep
🍽️ Skipping meals to get everything done
🚗 Driving the kids everywhere, every day
📞 Always “on” for work and home
😣 Feeling invisible, exhausted, maxed out

You’re not lazy.
You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re running on empty.

Most moms don’t need more willpower.
They need more support—physically, emotionally, hormonally.

You need:

🥚 Real breakfast within 20 minutes of waking
💧 Water before coffee
⏱️ 10 minutes of quiet to reset your nervous system
🌿 Nutrients that support mood and energy
🧘 Small daily habits to get your body out of survival mode

It won’t happen overnight. But it starts with knowing that burnout doesn’t mean you’re failing.

It means your body’s been doing too much for too long…without enough fuel.

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Core Medical & Wellness! 🌸

To all the incredible moms—thank you for your strength, patience, compassion, and unconditional love. Today, we celebrate YOU.

Whether you're juggling work and family, healing others while caring for your own, or simply showing up every day with resilience and grace—you inspire us more than words can say.

From our family to yours, we wish you a day filled with love, laughter, and well-deserved relaxation. 💐💖

Happy Mother’s Day!

Still think surgery is your only option?

Let me show you something different.

I tweaked my knee in jiu-jitsu. Spent three weeks doing everything right—stretching, bracing, light training.

Still couldn’t get back on the mat.

So I called Dr. Sharma.

We drew 60ml of blood.
Spun it in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma).
Injected it right into my injured knee.

No scalpel.
No stitches.
No downtime (except for a short rest period).

Here’s what happened next:

✅ My pain dropped. Fast.
✅ Strength and movement returned.
✅ Surgery — cancelled.

Even better?

I did the same treatment for an old wrist injury. Was booked for surgery. After two PRPs, I had full strength and zero pain before the op date.

This isn't woo-woo.

PRP uses YOUR OWN blood to concentrate growth factors and injects them back into injured joints, tendons, or muscles.

You don't need to be a pro athlete to do this.
You don’t need months of recovery.
You don’t need another round of painkillers.

PRP helped me:
🩸 Stay in high-impact training
🩸 Play with my kids without pain
🩸 Avoid the OR — twice

See for yourself.

Still living with daily pain like it’s normal?

Here’s what most people don’t realize:

🧠 That stiff neck from constantly looking at your phone? It adds hours of tension a week.
🏃 Joint pain after walking up stairs? Not “just aging.”
🛌 Waking with lower back pain every morning? Your spine's asking for help.

We met people like this every hour at the American Dream Health Fair.

And nearly every one of them had the same reaction when we showed them one simple thing:

Their pain didn’t have to be permanent.

At Core Medical & Wellness, we make that real every day.

We brought spine models. Tips for relief. Scrunchies—because who said pain relief can’t be fun?

Our team—Dr. Shelly Sharma, Stacy, and Anabel—spent their day giving real answers and real care.

People left smiling, standing taller, and, yes, scheduling visits.

✨ Want to feel better? Move easier? Sleep deeper?

Is traditional medicine enough anymore?

💊 Chronic pain that won’t go away
💤 Fatigue even after a full night’s sleep
🧠 Brain fog during simple tasks
🦴 Stiff joints despite normal scans
😤 Feeling dismissed or not heard

If your doctor says “Everything looks fine,” but you still feel off—there’s a reason.

Western medicine works. No doubt.
But it’s not the whole picture.

We’ve ignored thousands of years of knowledge:
- 🧘 Yoga for daily inflammation
- 🩺 Acupuncture to calm your stress response
- 🚶‍♂️ Stretch therapy to unlock pain patterns
- 🌀 Reflexology to improve energy
- 🏋️ Movement medicine, not just medications

The real magic? Combining both.
Use modern diagnostics AND proven ancient practices.

Every patient is different.
So the treatment should be too.

You don’t need more pills.
You need a global approach to feel like yourself again.

Curious what that looks like in your life?
