Dr. Joel D Stein, DO

I have many many medical problems & injuries that require time patience and a medical staff who will truly listen to wha...t you have to say.. Physically my body has been through a tremendous amount of wear and tear..I originally went to Dr. Stein and associates, because I needed a physician to "manage" my chronic pain.. For decades I have lived my life by just barely, well, "living" because of all the pain my body suffers from on multiple levels and/or areas...

My primary care doctor is amazing, and until recently, he was able to treat my pain enough with medications so I at least had a decent QUALITY of life , until the pain began to intensify... Due to new injuries and the progression of old injuries and diseases which caused the pain to worsen, it has become a nightmare for he, my husband and I ...These days, because of the Opioid addiction problem, doctors and pharmacists, are put under a microscope when they need to write and fill pain med prescriptions..Understandably so, people by the tens of thousands have been sucked into the world of opioid addiction, (which happens easier then most realize) .. It's not something anyone plans or even wants to happen.. You break a leg and boom, next thing you know you are doctor shopping for your next fix..My point though is, there are some of us, (like myself) that have no choice or so I thought...I would LOVE to find a way to manage my pain without taking a pain pill..

Getting back to my original reason for writing this, then I found Dr. Stein, Dr. Barry & Dr. Trainor, Dr. Hanson(BEST ULTRASOUND GUY IN THE BUSINESS.. !!!!)the wonderful staff that works up front and in the back, plus the students that these doctors spend hours mentoring ...Young doctors and students in a Holistic Non-Surgical mindset & atmosphere which have all treated me as though I am their top priority when I'm there..

Dr. Stein was the first Ddoctor
..... I saw the first of many visits months ago.. He listened to my reason for being there and told me I have a lot going on... With all the MRIS I've had done recently, I wasn't surprised but he never once said I can't help you he just explained they would do their best but everything couldn't be fixed at once..I didn't expect he would be able to, only God might have that kind of power....LOL.. O even understand they might not be a able to rid me of all my pain but 20% is better than none...He basically explained it was going to be like peeling an onion.. That as every layer came off, He hoped i would feel at least a little better..

I have to say, I sometimes wondered if the pain I was feeling was legitimate or if maybe it was all in my head.. I mean, can one person really hurt this much in so many different places? He, the other doctors and staff have all reassured me I'm not crazy...Months have gone by, we have all worked hard trying to "PEEL BACK THOSE LAYERS" ...I've had different forms of PT, shots (I am limited on some meds they can use) and OMT ...Some of my aches and pains have improved some not so much.. ... Some of the meds they used for the OA might not work for a few more weeks, so we will wait and see...

I am so very grateful that my Primary care physician understood I needed to find more extensive care elsewhere and recommended the Institute for Non-Surgical Orthopedics, where they "TREAT THE WHOLE BODY" Instead of what's ailing them....


THANK YOU TO THE WHOLE TEAM at Institute for Non-Surgical Orthopedics, for the first time in a long time I'm finally feeling there is a light at the end of the tunnel..


For this I will be eternally blessed more details
