From the minute I entered the office, I was greeted with friendly, professional staff members who made you feel very welcomed!! As the appt. progressed and I was finished completing my paper work, I was greeted and brought back to the room to be evaluated, x-rayed and treated!! The entire experience went very well and I made two more appts. to complete the 3 week process!! I could not be more pleased that I signe up and became a very satisfied patient of Joint Relief Institute!! I am so looking forward to the ending result of being pain free in my left knee.

Pain Relief Reviews from Northbrook
"Excellent Treatment. The guy who administered the shots today did an excellent job. I feel totally pain free now. Last week also was excellent. At this rate, at the end of 5 weeks, when I complete the session, I am optimistic that I may be pain free for a very long time."
"My experience with joint relief institution was great. My knees are feeling better again. I am doing more exercises. Then I was before my mobility of walking is getting great. I thank them so very much. I highly recommend them. If you hurting with your knees go see joint relief institution they're great. in Northbrook Illinois.Deborah Watters"
"They accommodated a change in my schedule, and saw me earlier today for my pain relief injections although they’re not Bears fans 😞they were Cubs fans 😁 🐻 they don’t realize that. a Cub is a baby bear 😀 they took exceptional care of me, and I was able to make it to my other doctors appointment on time! I can already feel no pain in my left knee! My right one is still a little sore but better. See you next week! Thank you 😊"
"I called this morning for an appointment because my knee pain (both knees) was getting worse daily. Luckily, I was able to get an appointment on the same day in Northbrook. My expectation was that I would have a consultation only. I first met Sloane who was very kind and explained what to expect during the appointment. Then I saw Allegra (physician's assistant) who listened to my issues, took an xray of both knees and suggested a steroid injection (which they would be able to do today!) I asked about the cost and they came back quickly with answers. I decided on self pay and took the injections. Allegra performed ultrasound guided injections ... no pain whatsoever!! She has an excellent touch. Highly recommend this facility. The Joint Relief Institute is lucky to have these two women on their team. I'm also lucky to have them on my team! Thanks for your help!"
"I love the atmosphere as I walk in and the staff caring and nurturing attentiveness is fantastic. The injections in my knee gave me relief. Now that I am pain free I am able to do squats, walk up stairs without stopping. I even went further I did a 7 miles walk in 2 hrs with no pain. Yay!!"
"My experience with Joint Relief Institute (Northbrook) was a great experience! From my first visit to my final treatment I was treated with caring and respectful staff from the beginning. Dr Arriola and the staff were very professional and answered all my questions and helped me with any fears I had. I’m feeling so much better and would recommend them highly!"
"I couldn’t be more pleased w the team of doctors and staff at Jt Relief Institute in Northbrook, Il team! the hyaluronic acid knee injections have taken my knee (bone on bone) pain away. i was told i needed knee surgery im so glad i inquired and tried this first. I was skeptical but it has worked very effectively on my knee. Don’t hesitate to make an appointment."
"Staff is very caring and efficient. Shots have been helpful but still have some pain. Tried a different type of gel this time. I would recommend for anyone who has osteoarthritis to try The Joint Relief Institute. I have referred many people to the NB clinic."
"I highly recommend giving these shots a try for joint relief. I didn't get relief from the first two series of shots. But they tried a third type of injection this last series and it's working beautifully. I can walk up and down stairs and get up out of a sitting position without pain. Thank you for suggesting I give this one a try. Also, I would like to give a shout out to the staff. Everyone is super friendly. I would like to add that SANDY (at the front desk) is absolutely one of the friendliest people I've met. She always has a smile and a kind word. She is very professional and helpful. She handles difficult situations with professionalism."
"So I go to the Northbrook facility, and have had my five weekly treatments! I couldn't be happier with how I was treated, from the friendly face at the front desk, to all the staff, in the rooms that attended to me! Almost immediately after my first visit, I started to feel, a little less pain. I have really, really bad arthritis, in both of my knees, and without a doubt, at some point in time i will have to have my knees replaced. But I do feel that these treatments will postpone, the inevitable!!! This was by far the best choice I have made in a long time on anything! If anybody has any questions, about what they are about, I seriously suggest that you give them a call!"
"2 years ago, i went to see a Dr for my knee pain he told me that i need a surgery sooner than i think , gave me pain medication and cortisone shot. I did not wanted to go back to him because he said only surgery can help. Also i did not wanted to take pain medication for the rest of my life. My son wanted to help me so he did reserch and told me about Joint relief. I am so grateful for that. Its been over a year i am back to normal life after getting treament from JOINT RELIE. Love everything about them. They are very kind and very understanding about my pain . They always take wonderful care of me. I am impressed how much i can do After getting trement.. i am so grateful for who ever organized this amazing treatment. May Gods blessing be with the whole team."
"The team was 5 stars! Sandy is my favorite receptionist ever. She does a great job and so does Dr.Nick. My favorite Doctor who I come to see and only him. Go joint relief institute."
"Coming from Elgin to the Northbrook location is a 45 minute trip, but the drive is well worth it. Greeted each time by Sandy the Receptionist with her smile and hello, certainly is a sign of a sincere welcome. The Office Manager, Makela, also provides that warm welcoming to their Joint Relief Institute office as well. This office is exceptionally clean, orderly and friendly. The rest of the staff are all friendly and caring as well. As for the treatment shots, the staff makes them as painless as possible, which means it's less painful than a mosquito bite! (As an added note, if I had an office where I needed a Receptionist and an Office Manager, I guarantee that I would offer these two young ladies an offer that they might find hard to refuse to come to work for me.) My grade for this location and it's staff is 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"
"I highly recommend Joint Relief Institute! They keep my aching knees pain free! I’m a 73 year old active woman! I do spin classes and ride my bike everywhere! I also walk dogs! The staff is amazing! I never wait, I’m in and out in no time! Consider the Joint Relief Institute instead of knee replacements! You’ll be glad you did!"
"I have a bad knee that I'll probably have to replaced in the future. In the meantime, I have been going to Joint Relief Institute for a series of gel shots. While I originally went to an orthopedic doctor for shots, the hit or miss method they used was very ineffective. Joint Relief Institute uses a live interactive xRay machine to guide the needle to the precise point and I've found this method works much better than any thing else. I much more comfortable now thanks to Doctor E. Arriola and his assistant Miriam."
"The staff at Joint Relief Institute, especially Sandy at the front desk and Miriam who has been in my treatment room are both very friendly and knowledgeable. Checking in is always a breeze and waiting for Dr. A. is pleasurable- talking with Miriam. Treatments are going better during this session of treatments. I am getting more relief. Thank you to Dr A and the staff I have interacted with."
"I recommend Joint Relief Institute to anyone with knee pain. I've had one complete rounds of shots last year and was really pleased at how well they worked! The effects lasted much longer than I expected. I am currently on my second round of shots and had immediate pain relief after my first treatment. The staff at the Joint Relief Institute in Northbrook is professional, respectful, and personable in every way. I feel that I am in great hands with Dr. A, Miriam, and the young men who assist Dr. A when my appointment is late afternoon. I would highly recommend the Northbrook location if you need relief in your joints."
"I have had arthritis in my right knee for quite some time, and have had injections in the past, with a Doctor of sports medicine. I had some pain relief, however it did not last for very long. After reading some positive reviews, I decided to try Joint Relief Institute. I am having a series of 5 injection and after only 3 injections, I am feeling much better. I can lift my leg without pain and walking up stairs is easier and it should only get better with the final 2 shots. My experience at the Joint Relief Institute has been great and I would definitely recommend them."
"Both of my knees are bone on bone. I just did the 3rd of a total of 5 injections in them. I had immediate relief after the first injection, and continue to feel a bit better after each one. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and are careful to be sure that you are comfortable with the entire situation. Miriam has been my Tech the last two times, and I appreciate her dedication to making sure that her patients are comfortable and at ease. I would definitely recommend this office, as well as the procedure."
"I could not be more pleased with Joint Relief Institute. The people there are friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. The service they provide has made a huge difference for me. After only 3 treatments my knee pain is limited, and I can now walk and climb stairs comfortably. Thank you JRI!"
"The staff at the Joint Relief Institute in Northbrook is awesome. I have Ben getting treatment for both my knees along with my 85 year old dad. From the front counter receptionist to the doctors everything is top notch. I would highly recommend if you need relief in your joints."

"The staff is really good and friendly The Dr is also friendly The treatment which i m taking has improved my walking and will recommend anyone with the joint pain Thank you God bless"
"The Joint Relief Institute is great! I am a physical therapist that has had ongoing arthritic knee pain for years now and have all but exhausted cortisone injections and gel shots to prevent having a replacement. The previous gel shots I received did nothing to relieve my pain. Completing the injection cycle at Joint Relief Institute gave me more relief than I have had in over 10 years. The staff is incredible...I wish I could remember all of their names, as they are one of the most friendly, welcoming, and kind group of people I have ever encountered at a doctor’s office...or anywhere for that matter! You can tell through conversations that they all thoroughly enjoy their job, and they take the time to get to know you and talk to you at each session. Dr. A. and Mario the PA are also incredibly welcoming, empathetic, and knowledgeable. If cortisone OR gel shots without guided placement have failed you, I highly recommend the Joint Relief Institute, especially the Northbrook location!!"
"I really like the treatment I get a the Joint Relief Institute. Dr. Hana is great provider of pain relief. Jill in the billing department has given me 5 stars customer service in resolving insurance problems."
"I gave it 5 stars because the staff here and the lady that examined my knees are super nice and amazing. They answered any questions I may had have. After she examined my knees and we talked about it I found out that I don’t have osteoarthritis, or any type of arthritis, which is such a relief for me. I have PFPS (patellofemoral pain syndrome), and with good physical therapy to strengthen my knees will help me get right back on my feet. Thank you for finding out the problem."
"The Doctors, PA’s and staff members are awesome. Both of my parents have bone on bone and the injections have taken their pain away. I would recommend JRI to anyone in need of pain relief. The office is immaculate and the waiting time is minimal."
