History and exam
Old injuries, surgeries, and hardware come first, then a movement exam to find what's restricted.
A plain explanation
What the exam shows, and what care would involve.
Care begins
When care is the right call, it starts at this visit. You leave knowing what to do between visits, with nothing to file afterward.
A first visit usually takes about twenty minutes.
Stein Chiropractic is top-notch. As an active military service member, I don't have time for guesswork—and this office delivers real results. Dr. Stein is knowledgeable, efficient, and actually listens. The care is effective, professional, and respectful of demanding schedules. Highly recommend.

- The practice
- Founded in 1991 by Dr. Richard Stein
- Solo practice
- The chiropractor who examines you is the one who treats you
He's helped me with everything from neck and lower back pain to wrist and elbow issues related to training and long hours at a desk. He treats athletes and non-athletes alike, and he's currently helping me manage a longstanding military-related back injury.

Where service shows up
Service asks the body to carry weight, absorb impact, and hold positions for hours. Sooner or later, it tends to show up in the same few places.
Rucks, packs, and body armor
Low back and pelvis
Carried weight adds hours of steady pressure through the lumbar spine and the joints of the pelvis.
Helmets and night vision
Neck and upper back
Weight mounted on the head shifts its balance forward, so the neck works for hours to hold it.
Jumps, landings, and miles in boots
Repeated impact passes up through the ankles, knees, and hips that absorb it.
Old injuries you learned to live with
The joints around them
A healed injury can leave nearby joints restricted, and the body keeps moving around it.
Care is matched to what the exam finds. Adjustments restore motion where a joint is restricted, mobilization suits a joint that's guarded, and Active Release Technique (ART) addresses the surrounding soft tissue. There's more in our post on chiropractic care for San Diego veterans.
Before you come in
Does hardware or an old surgery rule this out?
Not on its own. Around hardware or a fused level, care uses joint mobilization and soft tissue work instead of adjusting that area. The exam sets where to start.
I've had a couple of surgeries resulting in added hardware. I'm usually hesitant in doing certain things with my body but Dr. Yossi was very communicative and paid attention to my injuries. My body feels great after getting adjusted by him. I will be definitely coming back. Thank you.

Do I need imaging or records first?
No. If you already have imaging or records, bring them. If the exam points to needing more, we'll tell you plainly. We've written about whether you need a referral or insurance to see a chiropractor.
What if this isn't something you should treat?
If the exam shows this isn't something we should be treating, there's no charge for the visit. Some situations call for hospital-level evaluation first. If you're unsure, call and we'll help you route correctly.
Five days a week, near Miramar
Waiting it out tends to mean working around it: a careful way out of the truck, a back that sets the pace. Call and we'll have a time ready, or book online.
