Every age, adjusted differently
Family care is one standard applied to very different bodies. What changes from one age to the next is the pressure, the positioning, and the pace.
Infants and toddlers
Fingertip-light pressure, nothing like an adult adjustment. Visits are short and paced by the child. More on our pediatric chiropractic care.
Light fingertip contact
Kids and teens
Care keeps pace with growth spurts, sport seasons, and long school days. A parent stays in the room for every visit.
Adjustments sized to the child
Dr. Stein has been an absolute lifesaver. He truly cares about his patients' well-being and always ensures I’m taken care of. He knew my family by name after just two or three visits. Even my 2.5 year old daughter gets adjusted and he is incredibly gentle and great with kids. If you're an active person or just looking for a friendly, dedicated doctor who genuinely invests in his patients, I cannot recommend Dr. Stein enough!

Adults
Desk strain, training, an old injury that never quite settled. The exam finds what's restricted before anything is adjusted.
Adjustments, mobilization, and Active Release Technique (ART)
Pregnancy and after
Positioning changes by trimester so the table stays comfortable, and care continues through the postpartum months. See prenatal chiropractic.
Positioning matched to the trimester
My family and I have gone to Dr. Stein for biweekly check ups driving from El Cajon. Always greeting us with a smile and positivity. Very personable and knowledgeable in what he does. Modifying practices for my pregnant wife and addressing delicate issues such as my TMJ.

Grandparents
Care is matched to the joint as it is now. Mobilization comes first where a joint is guarded, with adjustments where they're the right call.
Mobilization first, then adjustments
Your family's first visit
First visits are scheduled. Call and we'll hold a time for you, often the same day. Book online and we'll confirm your time. After that, walk in whenever we're open.
One call for everyone
Tell us who's coming, and we'll line the visits up back to back.
A history for each person
Old injuries, sport, sleep, desk hours, pregnancy. Each person gets their own.
A movement exam
Where the spine and joints move well, and where they're restricted.
A plain explanation
What the exam shows and what care would involve. Children hear it alongside their parent.
Care begins
When care is the right call, it starts at this visit. You leave knowing what to do at home.
Who you'll see
A family practice works when one chiropractor knows the whole household: a parent's old shoulder, a teenager's season, a grandparent's stiff neck. The chiropractor who examines you is the one who treats you, so your history never has to be retold.

Dr. Yossi Stein has been treating my family and I for the last several years for any/all physical challenges we come across. Like his father, Dr. Stein is a healer and helps us all feel better when we're stuck. He is the best for regular adjustments to keep our family healthy! Dr. Stein is very fun, friendly, and down to earth. We are so grateful for him!

Questions families ask
How often does a family need to come in?
It depends on what the exam finds for each person, and that is explained before care begins. Some come in for one problem and stop there. Families who keep regular visits often choose our chiropractic membership.
Do we need X-rays or records before the first visit?
No. Bring imaging or records if you already have them, and if the exam points to needing more, we'll tell you plainly. Our post on whether you need X-rays to get adjusted goes further.
Some situations call for hospital-level evaluation first. If you're unsure, call and we'll help you route correctly.
How does paying work?
We don't bill insurance. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and you'll know what the visit costs before any care begins. If the exam shows this isn't something we should be treating, there's no charge for the visit.
Bring your family in
Most families begin with one person and bring the rest when they're ready. Waiting usually means working around it, like lifting a toddler carefully or sitting out part of a season.
