"I have made two visits to the JRI, both to receive an Euflexxa (hyaluronate) injection in one shoulder. The entire experience has been excellent, from the super service rendered by the polite and caring staff, including the receptionist and medical assistants, to the completely painless injections performed by Dr. N. Manolitsis, one of the staff physiatrists. I am a senior who has seen my share of hospitals, clinics, and physicians, and, IMHO, this is a top-tier medical operation, which I am pleased to give my highest recommendation."

Procedure Experience Reviews from Northbrook
"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 have never felt more at home and cared for by a medical team. Michele their PA was awesome felt extremely comfortable with her. Dr. Hernandez was great. Removed fluid from my knee which helped! Miriam was great! She held my hand so to speak through it all! Thank you team. I had an awesome experience unfortunately I need to see an orthopedic surgeon or I’m sure we would have come up with a great plan of action. Thank you again. I’m able to walk today with little pain and am grateful."
"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!!"
"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 was a bit hesitant at first due to my fear of needles but after all the injections- my knee feels 100% better! They even played my favorite music during the procedure to make me feel comfortable! Very personable & friendly! I highly recommend this to anyone with joint pain!"
"I can’t believe how well this treatment works and everyone is so efficient that I’m in one out in 20 minutes. Me left knee was replaced and the pain is worse than before surgery. My right knee is getting gel treatment and the pain is gone. I can ride my bike 40 miles. I highly recommend that you take advantage of this. Jim"
"I am so grateful for the gel therapy to keep my right knee going! The staff was very courteous and efficient. The appointment was also very timely. No wait time. Thanks for letting me tell you that this is the best!"
"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 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."
"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."
