One of the benefits of living in New Jersey is the variety of activities and attractions that are relatively close to home. Throughout the 21 counties of the Garden State, including Sussex County, Bergen County, Cape May County, Monmouth County, Hunterdon County, Passaic County, Ocean County, Camden County, and Atlantic County, there are plenty of opportunities for NJ residents to enjoy their free time doing things like relaxing at the beach, biking, having fun at an amusement park, or hiking on local trails. Whether enjoying a day swimming and building sandcastles at beaches like Wildwood, Cape May, Ocean City, Long Beach Island, Manasquan, Spring Lake, Belmar and Asbury Park, hiking the trails of Wharton State Forest, Sourland Mountain, High Point, South Mountain Hemlock Falls or Mt. Tammany, riding the roller coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure or the slides at Mountain Creek Water Park, strolling through the Frelinghuysen Arboretum or the Reeves-Reed Arboretum, or skiing at Campgaw Mountain or Mountain Creek Ski Area, there’s plenty of fun to be had in New Jersey. But when you or your child have a chronic illness that doctors have been unable to diagnose and treat, your symptoms can force you to stop doing the things you enjoy. That’s when you need a caring team of medical experts dedicated to determining the cause of your complex chronic medical disorder and developing an individualized treatment plan that can help you get back to your normal lifestyle.
Board-certified in Family Medicine, Dr. Kenneth Bock has more than 35 years of experience addressing the complex medical issues of his New Jersey patients by combining his expertise in evidence-based medicine with his passion for solving intricate problems. The medical experts at Bock Integrative Medicine employ a root-cause strategy to expose the layers of imbalance, inflammation and infection and discover the actual source of your symptoms. Using a functional approach to diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Bock and his expert team carefully consider each patient’s lifestyle and background, including possible genetic and environmental causes of illness. We strive to safely improve the health of our chronically ill patients in New Jersey by developing practical, research-supported treatment programs personalized to each patient’s unique condition and contributing factors.
What Is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine is an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and healing that considers all of a patient’s lifestyle factors and employs traditional as well as more comprehensive treatment methods. As practitioners with expertise in adult and pediatric integrative medicine, the board-certified providers at Bock Integrative look for sources of imbalance that are causing physical reactions, like inflammation or oxidative stress, and seek to address these problems using the most appropriate individualized immune, hormonal, nutritional, metabolic, psychosocial and antimicrobial therapies. Dr. Bock and his staff are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of multi-symptom, multisystem disorders, including Lyme disease and co-infections, autoimmune disease, PANS and PANDAS (ITABI), Autism and co-occurring conditions, and:
At Bock Integrative We Don’t Just Treat Symptoms
Evidence-based Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment Plans
With over three decades of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of complex medical disorders, Dr. Bock has a wealth of knowledge from which to draw when determining cause and effect of chronic illnesses. He recognizes that the combination of factors that can contribute to any chronic medical condition differs for each person and uses integrative/functional medicine to diagnose and treat these often-frustrating illnesses in children, teens and adults. Rather than only trying to manage your symptoms, he takes a comprehensive “whole person” approach to evaluate everything you are exposed to, and their effects. Dr. Bock then incorporates validated lab results and decades of diagnostic experience to develop an evidence-based diagnosis on which to base a highly personalized treatment regimen.
Our research-supported treatment plans typically involve individualized combination therapy that may include IV immune modulators (such as IVIG), vitamin and mineral therapy, herbal therapy, chelation therapy, and dietary modifications, as well as antibiotics and other medications as needed to treat acute problems, including infection. With any treatment plan, safety is our top priority. When we prescribe pharmaceuticals, we are careful to use supplements, herbs and nutritional support to protect the liver and gut. We move forward with caution when implementing any treatment plan, using an iterative process to evaluate results often and make adjustments as needed.

Dr. Bock Listens!
When our son began experiencing chronic, unpredictable symptoms that worsened over time, we thought our lives would never return to normal. Other doctors were unable to figure out why our son was sick, but Dr. Bock determined the root cause of his illness and developed an individualized treatment plan that had our son feeling better quickly. We’re so thankful that Dr. Bock took the time to ask us detailed questions about our son’s health history and assess the environmental factors that could impact his health. We highly recommend Dr. Bock and the entire Bock Integrative Medicine team!
