Relief for a wrestler's neck pain that hit on every shot

Her pinky bends again after a horse bite broke it
I've pretty much been here every single week since I graduated from Rutgers. They treat me really well.

It's crazy how quickly I got my knee to bend again. It feels so good to finally be back.

Seeing AJ has helped me enormously. I can personally feel pain exiting my body through the needles.

Sometimes I'm in a lot of pain, but it's managed so well through acupuncture.

Thrive is a beautiful and immaculate facility overlooking Shark River Inlet. The professionals on staff are all excellent. The care I receive is very therapeutic and has made a big difference for me. There is always a greeting upon arrival. Everyone is very friendly. I highly recommend Thrive!

Diana BajramovicBelmar · Chiropractic careI injured my lower back weightlifting and was in a significant amount of pain. I’m someone whose always been skeptical of acupuncture and cupping (and also terrified of needles) and I’m so glad I gave it a try! AJ was absolutely amazing and made me feel very comfortable with the procedure. I went from being unable to lay down/sit/drive comfortably to being mobile the very next day with almost no pain. Thrive is amazing!! It’s only a week after my injury and I’m already back in the gym! thank you!!!
Jillian TuzzoBelmar · Lower back injuryWent to Thrive in pain, doctor took a look at me, listened and went to work. He knew exactly what the issue was and recommended I see him a couple more times.

Doctors are friendly, quick to the point and very knowledgeable.

I cannot say enough good things about this place, thank you Thrive for helping me achieve my goals and feeling great doing it!!
Mike DanieleBelmar · Cycling and running recoveryMy teen daughter has a back injury due to sports. Numerous Ortho appointments, XRays, MRI’s, nothing seemed wrong. Went to another chiropractor who we were not too impressed with. Well, we are very pleased with Dr. Steve and Thrive in Belmar. The facility is spectacular, clean, state of the art, and all staff are very welcoming and professional. Dr. Steve Bruno explained everything so we understood and took his time specializing treatment for my daughter. I cannot recommend this office enough.
Kelly HellwigBelmar · Teen athlete’s back injuryStarting seeing Dr Vinny and Theresa during the summer of 25 with severe glute pain, back pain and periformis syndrome. I am walking running and feeling better overall. Thanks to them and the entire staff for making things better and improving my quality of life overall
Jeff RozanyFreehold · Glute and back painI absolutely love Thrive! My husband and I have been coming here for several months, and we’ve had nothing but positive experiences. The front desk staff is always welcoming and friendly from the moment you walk in. The entire team—from the physical therapists to the acupuncturist and chiropractor—is attentive, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your recovery. They go above and beyond to help you feel better and reach your goals. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, which makes a big difference. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Jaida RodriguezFreehold · Physical therapy, acupuncture and chiropracticThrive is an all around amazing place to visit first off. Secondly, they are top notch at what they do especially in helping me stay ahead of injuries/aches. They’ve worked with me to be proactive rather than reactive to my health and I appreciate them for that!
Ryan CharterinaBelmar · Injury preventionI have had multiple experiences with Dr. Vin regarding my health. He always brings a detailed, consultative approach to whatever problems I may be experiencing in the moment. He is extremely knowledgeable at his craft and I trust him to lead me to the proper treatment in order to get to my desired goal.
Michael DeFeoBelmar · Chiropractic careWhat an amazing experience with Dr. Abrams! My 9 year old son and I both felt extremely comfortable and more importantly after only 1 visit I could play soccer with him without pain. My son says he can’t wait to go back which is rare for him! Thanks Dr. Abrams!
Erin FalcoBelmar · Chiropractic carePhenomenal experience Dr.Vinny really hooked it up! Their expertise and personalized approach significantly aided my recovery. The staff is friendly, and the facility is well-equipped. Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-notch sports rehabilitation care.
Nico MessinaBelmar · Sports rehabThe people at Thrive are deserving of the highest praise. I aggravated an old spinal injury this summer and could barely tie my shoes. The pain was pretty severe. But Thrive was invaluable to me and got me back to 100%. Dr Vinnie and Kristen did sustained rehab on my back and hips for several months. Their knowledge and dedication to patients are maximum. I recovered completely. Sincere shout out to Thrive for helping me.
