Patient Experiences
My Dizziness Was Gone!
Out of the blue, I woke up feeling dizzy. I called in sick to work, and my sister took me to Dr. Stein to get adjusted. He asked if I had a stomach bug, which may cause dizziness and he fixed me on the spot. I felt better the rest of the day, but not 100%. The following day, I went back in for a follow up to handle any remaining symptoms and felt 10 TIMES BETTER INSTANTLY! This stuff works!
The only remaining symptom was a mild headache, but the 2nd adjustment banished it in a matter of seconds. I feel like myself again without drugs or any awful side effects. Thanks Dr. Stein!

Pain and Discomfort
Thanks for your professional help in helping me reduce pain and discomfort. I really appreciate it!!! Here is a token of my appreciation. Thanks so much!

Psoriasis
In 2002, I started Zone Healing after having psoriasis over 97% of the body. I didn’t want traditional medicine due to the long-term side effects. Zone Healing has taken my body through the psoriasis and it is pretty much all gone now!
When I was in a car accident and had a couple of fractures, it was very instrumental in my healing as well. I have taken a couple falls and jammed a shoulder. Zone Healing has been major in overcoming them as well.
The zones tell me the areas the body is dealing with, and Concept Therapy helps me be aware and help me partner with the body in its healing.

Dr Stein Fixed Me!
I did not think much of chirorpactic before I really hurt my back. I didn't want to see a medical doctor and get X-rays/pills/back belt/time off work, etc. My wife had been seeing Dr. Stein for some time, so I gave him a try and have been coming to him now for about 4 years. He fixed me then and continues to amaze me. I see him regularly and would refer him freely.
Matthew Atwell
Disc Deterioration
After several months of a stiff neck and upper back pain, I thought that I had developed a permanant stiff neck condition. X-rays showing significant disk deterioration only served to re-inforce my depressing self-diagnosis. But now, after only a few weeks of treatment by Dr. Stein, my stiff neck and upper back pain has significantly improved to the point where it is hardly noticeable. It is such a relief to go about my daily activities without being in constant discomfort. Thank you Dr. Stein.

In Pain Everyday
I came to Dr. Stein hurting on a daily basis. We worked on getting me in order by coming once per week, then once per month. When I moved out of the area, I didn't have pain for 3 years. I woke up one morning with neck pain and called for an appointment. I got in for an adjustment and another 3 years have gone by with no pain. I feel great. Thank you!

Chiropractic For The Whole Family!
Our whole family visits Dr. Stein and we have such a healthy family. We had tonsil issues, migraines, chest colds, and pretty much everything else. Now we just come to Dr. Stein to keep us on the right path.
We love the whole team!

Able To Do Yoga And Dance Again!
I couldnt move. I went to a "voodoo" doctor. Nothing helped! Now, after getting adjusted by Dr. Stein, I can do yoga again, and do my Israeli dancing once a week. Yes! I am still alive!
Dr. Robbie
I No Longer Need a Back Brace!
Before Stein Chiropractic, I was a mess. My neck was so sore, I could barely turn my head. My lower back was always going out. My feet always hurt and I always felt tired and worn out. I had to wear a back brace prescribed by an orthodontist. I was old before my time.
After Stein Chiropractic, I threw out my brace and my range of motion has greatly improved. I feel energy instead of tired and aching. I literally have a new life.

Chiropractic Helps Pregnancy and Infants
Dr. Stein kept me amazingly healthy throughout my 'high risk' pregnancy. I never had any doubts that I would deliver a healthy baby after being adjusted 3 times per week throughout!
Dr. Stein has been adjusting my now 3 month old daughter ever since she was born, and she is still 100% healthy and sleeping through the night! His gentle, caring adjustments help greatly with anything from sleep, mood, gas, and a cold. After she gets adjusted, she goes right to sleep peacefully! I am eternally greatful for having Dr. Stein in my life. His generosity and natural healing abilities have helped my family tremendously. Thank you!

Chiropractic Helped my Dog!
Dearest Dr. Stein,
I came home one day and realized that Kaya, our 3-year-old dog, was not herself! She cried really loudly when I pet her and when she tried to give me a “hug” she cried again! The terrible sounds came with the quick realization that something was wrong.
We thought maybe she had wrestled too hard with our neighbor dogs, but she is a tough cookie! She would not jump or play as usual, but she was eating, walking, and even jogging, so we expected her to feel better in a few days.
We did not want to take her to a vet, as they often try to give drugs as remedies, but after about a week, we were getting desperate. I was about to take her to the vet when we remembered Shirley and Leslie talking about how you had adjusted dogs, and we thought maybe you could help Kaya.
We are SOOO thankful we brought her in for your healing help! After a quick and easy spinal adjustment, it was clear she experienced instantaneous relief! As you saw, she began running around the office and playing immediately and, within a day, was able to jump 5 feet high again!
Within few days we took her hiking and bouldering (rock climbing), to the beach, for long runs, and to the park to chase balls. She was 100% again!
Thank you Dr. Stein, so very much, for healing Kaya!!! We are sooo grateful!!!
With warm and sincere appreciation,
Brandon & Galit Stam (& Kaya!)

Dear Richard,
Thank you so much for always making time to adjust me. With all sincerity, I must tell you that you are one of the best chiropractors I have been treated by. I am sure you already knew that, but it's always nice to hear it again.
Thanks again and may you, your family, and your practice be richly blessed.
Kindest Regards,

Neck Relief and Stress Free!
Hi Shirley and Dr. Stein,
It's Liza here. I wanted to thank you guys for always being there for me in my time of need. Whether I walk in unable to turn my neck or whether I feel great, you both always treat me with respect and kindness and I really appreciate it. I also cherish Beam Club, even though I don't come every week. It's great to know there's a place I can go that's so positive.
Thanks and see you soon!

Increased Awareness and Consciousness
Dr. Stein,
I am so grateful for your patience, guidance, and wisdom you’ve shared over the years. The gift of health- physically, emotionally and spiritually that you’ve given me is absolutely priceless and I wouldn’t be in the place I am today without you. Thank you so much! I have the tools I need to make sound decisions to filter through the noise of everyday life, and am able to pass on what I’ve learned from you to friends and family who ask for help. I will miss your Tuesday class, but the changes I’m making are continuing my path of evolution and will provide plenty of lessons of my own along the way. Thank you for helping me increase my awareness and consciousness. You are truly a blessing to everyone who seeks your help. I wish you continuing health, wealth, love and success in the future.
Love,
Jessica
Excellent Service
Hi Dr. Stein,
I wanted to write this note to thank you for having been so nice to me and giving me such a great treatment for the last few years. Your service has been excellent. You can count on me to do whatever I can to refer more patients to you in the future. Again, thank you.

Stress from Work
Thank you so much for the adjustment yesterday! Work has been stressful lately and I was feeling completely drained. I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and was able to run longer on my morning run because I felt like I had some extra energy (whereas earlier in the week, I had to cut it short). Thank you also for the reminder to apply everything I've learned in our Laws of Life class when life gets a bit overwhelming. ;) I am so grateful for the guidance and health you have given me over the years!

We are Blessed to Have Dr. Stein!
I just want to tell the world what an amazing human being Dr Stein is - a true giver, of the heart. Seems like my daughter and I have had our share of life and health challenges within the last 2 years. No matter what, Dr. Stein has always been there to help, joyfully. He is a wonderful gift to us. His adjustments are perfect, his healthy images work wonders and his ongoing friendship and commitment to help is unbelievable. I don't know what we would do without him. His knowledge of Concept Therapy, classes and seminars are outstanding. He loves what he does and he cares for everyone, without judgement. The office is peaceful and full of wonderful people and high vibrations. Anyway, thank you, "Doc" for your ongoing support, friendship and health restoring adjustments. We are so blessed that you are such a big part of our lives.

OVARIAN CYST
I went to see my doctor, and after doing some tests, he found an 8cm. cyst on my ovary. He wanted to do a laparoscopic surgery immediately. My husband told me not to get the operation, and suggested I see Dr. Stein instead. Thankfully, I listened to my husband. Dr. Stein adjusted me 3 times per week for 6 weeks. At the end of these treatments, I went to see my gynecologist and he was unable to find anything! The cyst was gone. Thank you very much to Dr. Stein for being able to solve the problem I had without a knife.

GIFTED HEALER
Where to begin...? I am 23 and enjoy a very active lifestyle. I was heavily involved in martial arts between the ages of 18 and 22 which, needless to say, put a little extra wear on my back as well as the rest of body. Besides being bruised and battered from all of the training I was also involved in a very bad car accident Christmas of 07. I was introduced to Dr. Stein by my good friend Sean Zobitz towards the end of January. Before making the trip to see Dr. Stein for the first time Sean and his mother Stephanie proceeded to spout off a million and one reasons why the Zone Therapy administered by Dr. Stein was the cure I'd been searching for. They claimed that my inability to sleep, chronic sinus infections, stress / anxiety, and back problems could all be dealt with by this amazing approach to healthy living. They built him up to be this amazing miracle worker. Any skepticism that I harbored was laid to rest after my first session. I noticed immediate results that did not fade away like other treatments that I had undergone in the past. It took him less than 2 minutes to assess what the problems were and make the necessary adjustments; after which I literally felt like a new person. At this point I would have to agree with Stephanie and Sean; Dr. Stein is a gifted healer and his methods really do work. In conclusion I would like to add that Dr. Stein and those that work in his office are very kind, generous, and compassionate; you will always feel very welcome in their office.
With Thanks,

MIRACULOUS RELIEF
Hi my name is Phillip Myers. Dr. Stein and I met it was on a Sunday afternoon 14 years ago. I was just getting ready to leave town for work. I was watching television in bed and got up to go to the rest room. I started walking and fell to the floor in pain. I new I had trouble with my lower back and had seen a chiropractor before. But this was different I was in so much pain. I could not even move. My girl friend rushed over to me, I shouted, "Don’t even touch me!" I was even having a hard time breathing. I told her to find me a Chiropractor. She thought I needed an ambulance. I protested, and told her of some Chiropractors I new, but no luck. She called all over town. No one was open. Then she remembered that there was a new chiropractor that had just opened in her office building. Luckily she remembered his name and called. It just happened he was there and he said to come over. Yah Right...... I literally had to crawl to her car and she was able to get me to stand up. We got there and thank God there was an elevator. She filled out the paper work as he evaluated me and he had me lay on the table. He said to her look at this he is 1 inch out of alignment, she gasped oh my god that's unbelievable. After the first adjustment I felt instant relief and she couldn't believe it herself. She was not a believer in chiropractic. I was good as new after a couple more adjustments. I have been seeing Dr. Stein ever since. NOW! That's not all. I just had a similar situation happen again. This time I had got up on a Saturday to get ready for a garage sale and had got right out of bed without doing my normal routine of stretching. It was cold out that day. I started taking boxes out and made that one wrong move, I wasn't in that much pain until later that night when I could not stand up straight and could not get to the bathroom with out help from my son or my wife. I could not even sit to do #2 and this was bad. I could not get to see Dr. Stein until the following Monday. This whole situation was very scary for me and if you have ever felt back pain like this you know what I mean not being able to walk on your own. I looked like a human question mark. That’s how out of whack I was. The thoughts that run threw your mind are not fun..... Once again he fixed me right up. Miraculous relief. Once you meet this Man you will realize Dr. Richard Stein is right with the World. If you don’t believe me contact me. I will allow him to give out my number but you have to see him to get it.
Sincerely,
Phillip R. Myers

HEALING
Dear Dr. Stein,
This is Andrew and Haruka. I wanted to thank you for your outstanding treatments and generous help. The shoulder recovery has really been miraculous, and I am looking forward to the EMG test tomorrow to confirm it. Haruka also is amazed at your abilities. We both have seen so many other doctors for our various dis-eases, with little or no improvements. Thank you for giving us hope and health. You are the one of the best healer I have ever had the pleasure to met.
Thank you so much for everything, and have the most wonderful vacation!
With warmth and gratitude,

Health
Dear Dr. Stein & Patience,
Just a HUGE thank you for your love, kindness & care yesterday! Your office IS the vibration I want and need to be in. Batyah reminded me that as my vibrations move up, those who don't resonate with them will fall away. That must be what happened! So, it's ALL good. Doc, your adjustment was so healing and wonderful. I feel like a new person today. I hope someday I can be like you (a true heart to SERVE)- it is such a blessing and I am so touched by it. Anyway, thanks for the hugs, the understanding, the acceptance and for welcoming Sarah and I back with open arms. Blessings to you both-
Love & Hugs,

Pain Relieved/Health Restored
Zone Healing has been one of the best experiences of my life. Before Zone Healing I had chronic lower back pain and nerve problems in my neck and shoulders from a chipped vertebrae. I couldn't run without my hands and shoulders feeling pain and eventual numbness. After seeing doctors, acupuncturists and other chiropractors and receiving either no help at all or temporary solutions, I found out about Zone Healing from a friend. I was amazed at how much better I felt after my first adjustment, and even more amazed after getting similar results week after week. Before my first adjustment it was painful for me to lie down, now I can do all the activities I used to do before my injuries. Dr. Stein is a wizard! If you are in pain call him ASAP!

TMJ-Now Energized
I was referred to Dr. Stein by my dentist to get some extra help with a TMJ problem. On my first visit, thee very first one, I left Dr. Stein's office and my thought was "I really feel different." :) I smiled on my drive all the way home. I waited for that feeling of well being to leave, but it didn't. I saw him 2 days later and had another treatment and have continued to feel extremely energized. After 10.5 hours of work, I can run a golf course. My routine used to be 10.5 hours of work and pass out on couch by 7:30 pm. I cannot explain what happened to me in that office, but I am a patient for life.

LAWS OF LIFE
Hi Dr Stein, Shirley, and Patience!
(Galit & Brandon's adventures in Israel #3)
I just wanted to let you know that we've been surviving on the laws of life...don't know how we could have managed without them. Between the communication barrier (especially for me), the culture shock, and other stresses/challenges, the 3rd and 4th dimensions always put life into perspective. It never fails that, when we put out positive vibrations, it puts us in contact with people on the same wavelength.
Dr Stein -thank you, again, for everything you've taught us and so many other people! We can't wait to come back to class.
We hope you guys are doing great, and let us know if you need anything from the Holy Land! :)
Take Care,
Brandon & Galit

Dear Dr. Stein,
It means so much to me that you are helping my dad. After you adjusted him, he has been smiling so much more, and speaks of health for the first time. He likes that you encourage healing with such a positive attitude, and that makes him feel really good. I can't thank you enough for helping his mind, body, and spirit.
I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN FOR MY DAD. IT MEANS A LOT TO ME. I SPOKE WITH HIM THE OTHER NIGHT, AND HE IS DOING VERY WELL. IT'S AWESOME TO SEE HIM SO POSITIVE AND SO HOPEFUL SINCE HE HAS MET YOU AND BEEN INTRODUCED TO "THE LAWS OF LIFE"... HE IS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN AND BEING ADJUSTED. YOU DEFINITELY HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN HIS LIFE ALREADY. HE SPEAKS VERY HIGHLY OF YOU, AND APPRECIATES YOU TAKING THE TIME WITH HIM.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

POSITIVE ATTITUDE ALLEVIATES PAIN
I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING CHIROPRACTIC ZONE HEALING FROM DR. RICHARD STEIN FOR THE PAST YEAR.
MY MAIN REASON FOR COMING HERE WAS TO HELP RELIEVE MY OSTEOARTHRITIS IN MY LOWER BACK, NECK AND BOTH WRISTS.
MY PREVIOUS METHOD OF HEALTHCARE WAS USING ALEVE FOR PAIN.
THE BENEFITS I HAVE ACHIEVED THROUGH ZONE HEALING ARE NUMEROUS. I HAVE LEARNED MUCH THROUGH THE EVENING CLASSES ON CONCEPT THERAPY WHICH HAVE TAUGHT ME A NEW WAY TO LIVE. I HAVE LEARNED WHAT THE ZONES ARE AND WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED. I HAVE VERY LITTLE PAIN. I BELIEVE OUR ATTITUDES TOWARD LIFE ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR HEALTH AND THINKING POSITIVE ALLEVIATES MOST OF OUR PAIN. MY WEEKLY ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN MOST HELPFUL.

Jason and I are doing well, and enjoying our life in Colorado. I wanted to thank you for the tools you have given me to enhance my life. The classes, the adjustments, the knowledge, and your kindness will forever be appreciated. I hope all is well with you, your family, and your patients.

MORNING SICKNESS RELIEF
Since April of this year, I have been undergoing IVF (Invitro Fertilization) treatment to be a gestational surrogate. Throughout this process, Dr. Stein has adjusted me regularly to help balance the effects of various hormone injections, antibiotics, etc. These adjustments really helped, and the IVF treatment and transfer were successful. I am now 7 1/2 weeks pregnant with 2 (maybe 3) and have been experiencing constant morning sickness for the past 2 weeks. I can only drink water with lemon and very little juice and do not feel like eating anything, even though I may feel hungry. Within minutes of being adjusted by Dr. Stein, I feel the nausea subside and actually feel able to eat. This has happened every adjustment without fail. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Detoxifying, Improved Energy and Outlook
Dr. Richard Stein is more than a Chiropractor, he is a healer of the first magnitude. As a newly sober individual recovering from severe late stage alcoholism, I was able, as a result of Dr. Stein's work on me, to return to a level of health and well being that I had given up on ever attaining again. Dr. Stein helped my body detoxify from the ill effects of addictive chemicals that I had used for so long, and eliminate the aches and pains that I had been feeling throughout my body. His work helped to clear my mind so that I could focus and concentrate. It increased my level of energy and improved my general outlook. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Stein for his thorough, careful, caring and inspired work as a practitioner.

IMMEDIATE RELIEF
I had sustained a work related injury in 2002. My back pain caused me to be unable to work for quite some time. I had been reluctant to seek chiropractic care, however, the physical therapy provided by worker's comp. was not effectively treating my pain. After months of nearly unbearable pain, I was referred to Dr. Stein. I walked into his office barely able to walk upright. After one session with Dr. Stein, I experienced immediate relief. I left his office walking upright and nearly pain free. After several more sessions, I was able to return to work, jog, and get back to a healthy and productive life. I continue to visit Dr. Stein and experience no pain whatsoever. He has changed my life! Thank you Stein Chiropractic!

BACK, SHOULDER, KNEE, ALLERGY, HIVES and NECK
Before I started to come to see Dr. Stein I had back pain, a tear in the rotator cuff, knee pain, allergy, hives, and neck pain. The health care I had received before coming here was only medications that treated my symptoms instead of curing the problem. Now everything has been totally cured except my neck pain which is still improving day by day. Dr. Stein has shown me that chiropractic care can cure or prevent just about anything.

MENSTRUAL CRAMPS, BACK PAIN, HOPELESSNESS
I want to take the time to tell you how much you have helped my life. Before I started to come to Stein Chiropractic I could not walk without shooting pains in my back and down my legs. I could not do anything that I enjoyed doing; hiking, surfing, etc. I tried many things: medications, physical therapy, orthopediic surgeon visits, MRI's, and tons of x-rays. Nothing helped and the pills have side affects that are very harmful. I went to a chiropractor who was so negative, telling me I had tons of problems and diseases, but that only made me more hopeless. Having these health problems I lost about a month of work. I was depressed and I did not know where else to turn.
Now that I am under your care pain is no longer an issue. I do everything I want! Even things that I did not realize pertained have gotten better (menstrual cramps are almost non-existant). I am happy. I have hope. I have faith that I can/am healing. The best thing is that I no longer feel like the victim.
My life is good now. I owe everything to Dr. Stein. I can walk. I can hike. I surf often. I am really taking care of myself. I have so much hope and faith. Dr. Stein, you are a savior.
Thank You,

CHIROPRACTIC CARE CHANGED MY LIFE
I think everyone can benefit from Dr. Stein's chiropractic care. He is God's messenger to heal us in a safe, warm, and most comforting way. I want to thank Dr. Stein for all the help he has graciously given me.
I have not been waking up in the middle of the night. I am much more rested and do not fall asleep in class anymore. I have less pain in my back , if any at all. Thank God I started coming to visit Dr. Stein before my condition could affect my working capabilities. Thanks to chiropractic care I feel more confident with myself and the body that God has given me.
Thank you so much!

KNEE PAIN GONE
Dear Dr. Stein:
I had surgery done on my left knee for torn cartilage. Ever since then I have had knee pain. On my best days it would be achy but on my worst days my knee required a brace.
About 14 years after my knee surgery I came in for my normal adjustment wearing a knee brace. You asked me what the problem was and I explained that it was one of my worst days and I told the whole story. Within two minutes, I was pain free and absolutely amazed!!!
Never would I have even thought that this would be something that a chiropractor could have adjusted. The lesson here is on communication. I have been walking around dazed that all it took was a "front-end Alignment"!
The wonderful news is that there is no more chronic pain in my neck, shoulder, or knee. There is no more headaches that turn me into Jan the Horrible. The bad news is that you are going to hear about every pain I ever have, just in case it can be taken care of so easily.
Thank you so much. Life is so much more enjoyable!

THYROID CONDITION
When I came to Dr. Stein I had thumb pain, and thyroid problems that required medications. The medications for the thyroid condition left me with unwanted side effects. Since coming to Dr. Stein I no longer need to take thyroid medications and my thumb pain is greatly reduced. I believe almost any problem can be helped by chiropractic treatment.

NO MORE PAIN
For over 20 years I suffered from chronic back, neck, and hip pain and discomfort, due to sports injuries and two auto accidents. At it's worst I would lose the use of my right arm or have throbbing neck and head pain that would bring tears to my eyes.
Medical Doctoes referred me to physical therapy, gave me cortisone shots, muscle relaxers, and pain medication- to which I became addicted. I had tried other chiropractors, some left me in as much or more pain as when I went in.
With adjustments by Richard Stein DC, combined with daily Yoga/Stretching exercises, I am able to stand, sit, and walk straighter and taller without pain or discomfort.
Dr. Stein's gentle treatment and holistic concern for his patients is without parallel. I highly recommend his services to friends and anyone else who suffers.

Dr. Stein,
Thank you so much for showing me that acid stomach could be cured through chiropractic. Before I came to your office I had low back pain, hip pain, and suffered from daily acid stomach. I was constantly using antacids and Pepcid AC. I had expected back improvement and there definately was. Now I

CHRONIC STIFFNESS
I had chronic stiffness in my neck and upper back which was limiting my ability to perform work duties and made me feel tired most of the time. I took muscle relaxers, ibuprofen, and other doctors told me that I had a degenerative condition that could be treated with surgery when it became worse. I was unable to function while on the muscle relaxers, and I was groggy. I only took them for a few days before I came to Dr. Stein. Since then, I feel my energy level increased, and is consistently improving. The stiffness gets better with each treatment and is no longer a major problem. I no longer feel restricted and am able to perform all daily activities. I no longer focus on or worry about stiffness- IT IS GONE!

SINUSES, HEADACHES and LACK OF ENERGY
When I first came in to see Dr. Stein I had stiffness and a lack of energy. I was always drowsy and could not keep up with daily chores. My sinuses were always clogged and I had headaches that medication just would not cure.
I tried using aspirin, decongestants, muscle relaxers, etc. No medications worked. I became very discouraged until I found Dr. Stein. I was only getting slight temporary relief from the previous methods and it still was very discouraging.
Since coming to see Dr. Stein, I am able to work harder, without becoming tired, exhausted, or stiff. My sinus problem has cleared up well above 80%, as well as my allergies and sensitivity to hay fever. I have more energy and can breathe easier.
Thank you for your help,

BACK and NECK
I was in an accident 4 months ago, and I injured my back and neck. This hindered my working abilities it restricted what I could do.
I tried other methods of health care, for instance, I went to many medical doctors, but they would waste my time by giving me medications to cover the problem. It only took away the immediate pain. The cause of my problem was never cured.
I have changed greatly since coming to Dr. Stein. My working abilities have improved greatly. My health is so much better that I also have a potential to increase my income. I am thinking about going to Life West Chiropractic College next fall to become a Chiropractor.
Thank you so much,

FOOT PAIN
I had a foot condition before I came to see Dr. Stein. My left foot was swollen and I had a fallen arch which was very painful. I had tried an insert that went in my shoe to keep support for the arch, but my foot was still painful. The doctor I had seen prior to seeing Dr. Stein had told me that my tendons were broken and that nothing could be done.
I have increased function in my foot and there is much less pain. I can go longer between visits to Dr. Stein. I want to thank you for fixing my foot. The swelling went away along with the pain. I came to the Dr. Stein's office very discouraged and now I feel hopeful.

BASEBALL
I am a baseball player and before I came to Dr. Stein's office I could not throw a baseball because of my condition. My primary care physician recommended physical therapy but there were no positive results.
Now that I see Dr. Stein, I am able to play baseball like I used to, if not better. Thank you for showing me that health can be restored. I leave your office healthier than ever.
Thanks again,

TENNIS
Dr. Stein,
I was an avid tennis player before I was involved in two auto accidents. After that I could not play tennis without significant discomfort.
Prior to coming to your office, I tried anti-inflammatory meds (NSAIDS), physical therapy, consultation with M.D.s. All had limited success.
I now have an increased sense of well-being and confidence and I am living relatively pain free naturally (without medication).
Chiropractic care is a wonderful holistic health care alternative. Positive results can be acheived pro-actively without dangerous medications, while using the body's natural healing mechanisms. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,

POSTURE, GAIT and BACK PAIN
I had an inch difference in my leg length with my shoes on. This hurt my lower back and made me walk worse. My posture was very bad and painful.
I had received physical therapy which helped only a little bit. I was taking medications such as muscle relaxers but they made me very groggy.
After receiving treatment from Dr. Stein my posture is much better. I have a lot less pain and an improved gait. It is remarkable the benefits I got from a very small time investment. Thank you for your care,

HEALTH
Prior to the treatment I received from Dr. Stein, I had a difficult time turning my neck completely from the right to the left. Most importantly, I had recurring lower back pain which limited my ability to be active for weeks at a time.
My neck movement is now completely free of strain. I have not had lower back pain in a long time. I can surf, run, and exercise without any worries. I have overall excellent health, mental clearness, and the ability to do whatever I want without limitations in health.
I am a new person and now a strong believer in chiropractic care for myself, my wife, and my kids.
Thank you Dr. Stein,

TRIATHLETE
On a daily basis I had back pain and neck pain. I am a triathlete so my physical ability to perform is very important to me. I have a healthier life because of the treatment I got from Dr. Stein. I can now sleep, breathe, and do triathlon without concern about my back or neck. Also I am constantly improving my performance. I am better at everything I do thanks to Dr. Stein.
Thank you,

Ear Infections, Stress, Backache
Dear Dr. Stein,
I would like to take a moment to thank you for the excellent chiropractic care you've provided to myself and my family. I remember when my son, Mendy, was just two years old, he had terrible ear infections. All the doctors we consulted on the matter wanted to operate, and none of the medication he was given worked. When he came to see you, however, you adjusted him and
resolved the problem without resorting to the operations or medications the other doctors wanted to administer. Since then, my family has been seeing you for chiropractic care.
Personally, from a backache to stress-related heath problems, it always seems that you are the one to help. After seeing you, my ailments are gone and I feel so much better, it's hard to believe. I've seen many different chiropractors in the past, but your personality and dedication to the well being of your patients sets you apart. I'm pleased to say that in addition to being a wonderful doctor, you are also a caring friend. So once again, thank you so much for your exceptional care and wonderful friendship.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Hirsh Piekarski
Neck Pain, Increased Energy
Before visiting Dr. Stein, I was in tremendous pain due to a pinched nerve
in my neck. I tried various methods of relieving this pain, but nothing was
working. In fact, the pain was getting worse. Dr. Stein and Zone Healing
restored me to health. For many years now, I have been a patient of Dr.
Stein, and he has helped me stay young at heart and healthy in many ways. I
have experienced phenomenal weight loss paired with increased energy and sex
drive. Even my elbow, an old injury from playing ice hockey, is healthy
again. I highly recommend first-hand experience with Dr. Stein and Zone
Healing for a healthier existence.

HEADACHES
Dear Dr. Stein,
If anyone says that Chiropractic doesn't work, please tell them to call me.
About five days ago, after a very busy month of Jewish holidays, Bar
Mitzvahs, funerals, weddings, and other happy and sad but very stressful
events, I started to experience headaches. As a very busy rabbi I know that
when these headaches come, no amount of Tylenol or aspirin can relieve them
for very long. They are annoying pains. On cue, I go to you for an
adjustment and whammo, the headaches are gone. I know that I should have
regular adjustments but I don't always find the time. I really should.
Over the years I have gone to you for many problems and you have always
cured them. You are truly a miracle worker! Our Torah says that special
angels guide the hand of the healer and you need to find the right angel to
do the curing. The doctor is only the agent of the angel. You must have my
angel with you and from what I have heard from other members of my
congregation many more people are finding their angels with you as well.
May G-D bless you to continue helping others. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Moishe Leider
MENIERE'S DISEASE and COLON CANCER
In 1997 I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease- an incurable infection in
the inner ear. Meniere's causes frequent debilitating events of vertigo.
Additionally, in 1999 I was diagnosed with colon cancer and had several
polyps surgically removed. I was at times unable to drive a car due to the
Meniere's because of the danger to myself and to others.
Meniere's required daily medications without prospect for improvement. The
colon required regular visits with an oncologist, regular endoscopies -
yuck! - and a dramatic change in diet. These methods produced no improvement
in either the colon or the Meniere's.
I started visiting Dr. Stein in December 2000. Within one year I was able to
reduce the Meniere's medications by 75%. My general health, well being, and
outlook on life became predominately happy again. By December 2002, I
stopped taking the Meniere's medication, except for occasional bouts with
vertigo. The Meniere's is now easily managed with very little detrimental
effect on my life. I no longer have a fear of driving and can even ride a
motorcycle!
In February 2004 my oncologist declared the cancer in full remission. After
a regular endoscopic procedure he even said the scar tissue from the
previous surgery was no longer visible.
Chiropractic has changed my life. Even my oncologist is now sold on
chiropractic because of the dramatic changes he has seen in my general
health and colon health. Chiropractic care provides a safe, practical method
of healthcare that enabled me to become more in control of my life and my
physical health. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Stein for his loving,
friendly approach to teaching and healing.

HYPERTHYROIDISM
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in 2000. The symptoms are: heart palpitations, heat intolerance, insomnia, fatigue, fast heart rate, trembling hands and breathlessness. I was put on medication Tapazole (30mg daily). Although I attempted to reduce my medication my physician told me that I would need to take Tapazole for the rest of my life to keep this illness under control.
I began treatment with Dr. Stein in 2001 and began to reduce my medication dosage until I was off of Tapazole completely. My test results showed that my thyroid regulating hormones were within the normal range. I continued with my twice a week adjustments with Dr. Stein.
In 2002 I became pregnant and continued receiving regular adjustments. My pregnancy was fantastic.enjoyed it tremendously with no ill side effects.
After my healthy baby boy was delivered I neglected to continue chiropractic adjustments due to time constraints. Two months later I had to return to my endocrinologist for hyperthyroidism treatment due to my symptoms returning. My doctor strongly recommended that I undergo radioactive iodine treatment, which would kill the thyroid gland and would render me reliant on medication to compensate the lack of thyroid cells. Due to the fact that I was nursing my son, this was put on hold, and Tapazole was prescribed again.
I didn't realize at the time the correlation between not seeing Dr. Stein and the return of my hyperthyroidism until I was in his office introducing my son Jaden to his staff. After returning for regular weekly adjustments I got off the medication and my test results were fine.
Thank you Dr. Stein for improving my health and I have promised myself that I will always make time to come in for my adjustments.

Ear Infections
My son had chronic ear infections, he also had a constant runny nose and caught every bug that went through his pre-school. I was at his pediatritian's office at least once a month or more. Before seeing Dr. Stein, Dagan was on antibiotics constantly, he even received injections of antibiotics because he was becoming resistant. We finally had to put tubes in his ears.
Since receiving Zone healing, he is now off of all the medications, it's been 3 months. One of his tubes fell out and he is still infection free. Dagan is also free of his never ending runny nose!
Before seeing Dr. Stein I was very skeptical that adjusting the spine could help anything except back pain. Now I have proof that a healthy nervous system is a healthy person.
Our lives have improved since Zone healing because Dagan hasn't been sick so he is at school and I am able to work. He has a pretty normal sleep schedule because his nose is clear and there is not ear pain.

PARALYSIS
My son got shoulder paralysis in the birth process. Afterwards I noticed he couldn't move his left arm and left leg as far as his right arm and right leg. I went looking for help. I asked the midwife and in her office I found business cards for chiropractors. I felt good about Dr. Stein's card and my husband and I decided to try him out. I was told later by my medical doctor, after Dr. Stein fixed the problem, that if we had done nothing the damage would have become permanent. We took our son to Dr. Stein when our son was 4 months old. In a short time our son's range of motion was the same on both sides: the left was as good as the right. Through Zone Healing we were and are overjoyed to see what Dr. Stein has done for our son and for us (we decided right away to be his clients too!) We are so grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PAIN RELIEVED
Prior to Zone Healing I had lots of lower back discomfort, I couldn't sit comfortably and my legs and neck ached as well. I had tried oesteopathy and physiotherapies, oesteopathy has worked in the past but physiotherapies didn't work at all. Due to my health I had two months off work. After Zone Healing I now have much less pain and greater mobility. My pain greatly reduced and my breathing has improved greatly too. I can enjoy life generally and have had a much better holiday due to the care I've received..

AGING WELL
I guess as I get older, my body isn't healing on its own as dramatically as it used to. What I see is that Dr. Stein is able to align all the physical parts so that my body still doesn't need painkillers or anything more dramatic to continue fixing itself.

HEADACHES
Before Zone Healing I would get such terrible headaches on a daily basis that at times I would be incapacitated and have to lay down. I knew it was from mis-alignment of the vertebrae of my neck as well as muscle tension. I had previously seen other chiropractors and had energy healing but the adjustments would help for a few days and the energy healings helped but didn't address the existing structural mis-alignment in the vertebrae of my neck. My health made me less productive and the severity of my headaches and the pain in my neck made me desperate. Since Zone Healing, my neck does not hurt anymore and my headaches have decreased dramatically. I feel normal again.

HEALTH & FLEXIBILITY
I just want to thank you for all your efforts at helping me maintain my health and flexibility for these last several years. When I first came to you for help in 1997, I had recurring issues with my upper & lower back and feet, etc. After a treatment or two I was "up and running" again.
At that time you told me about the worth of preventive care and maintenance. For once, I listened to excellent advice when it was shared with me. I am still visiting you during each year and have continued to be exceptionally healthy and am mobile enough to "trip the light fantastic" (dancing) two or three hours each on several nights a week.
My thanks for a job well done. I expect, by continuing to visit for maintenance, to be hale and hearty and having fun for lots of years to come. Dr Stein, I, for one, salute you!!
A grateful patient,

Neck and Low Back
I came to Dr. Stein with neck and low back pain. I couldn't even turn my head. The pain is now completely gone! I can surf, run and exercise without any worries. I'm a new person and I'm a firm believer in Chiropractic care . . . for myself, my wife and my kids

Neck Surgery
For the first time in 7 months, since my neck surgery, I slept like a baby after my first adjustment. My hands have been numb for 18 months and after you corrected my atlas, I can feel things again. I just wanted to write and say thank you, thank you, thank you!

Chronic Back, Neck, & Hip
I've suffered for over 20 years with chronic back, neck, and hip pain from injuries and accidents. The pain had been so intense it would often bring tears to my eyes. Dr. Stein's gentle adjustments and concern for their patients are without parallel. I am able to stand, sit and hold straighter and taller without pain or discomfort.

Stomach Trouble
I expected improvements with my back pain and got it. I had no idea that my stomach problems would also clear up with Chiropractic Care! I no longer have acid stomach and don't have to take antacids all the time.
