Mobility Improvement in Oak Brook

"Absolutely the best results i could have expected. I'm a carpenter ,I couldn't walk on my right knee, after first treatment I could walk painlessly I'm 72 and still doing roofing and carpentry. To me a miracle. The people are top notch in their trade"

"Entry is to the rear of the building (North side) The suite (102) is the first door to your right. It's best to call first to make an appointment but they will accept walk-ins. Speedy pain relief for the knees and very friendly staff."

"Outstanding people! Was there after ice storm. The employees were spreading salt all over and the receptionist took my hand and walked with me to the door!. Michelle Lamberti does a great job! Got relief!"

"The relief I got from Joint Institute is fantastic. My knees were bone on bone and it was difficult to walk. Also, the doctors and all the staff were very professional and caring."

"My knees are incredibly better! I cannot believe the difference in pain and mobility. Doing the exercises daily is also a must to strengthen around the knee. I’m so thankful I found and trusted Joint Relief Institute. I’ve been suffering for years. Off to travel again!"

"Joint Relief Institute is phenomenal clinic my first injection l got instantaneous results when I came to the clinic for second I walked in to the clinic without my walker my knees haven't felt this good in 5 years God 🙏 bless all the people at the clinic I am so grateful for all the people at the clinic"

"I have been getting treatment JRI for 18 months. I was told I needed knee replacement surgery by my surgeon. Since I had had a total knee replacement on my other leg I was leery. Since I started having injections I’m pretty much pain free. Being an avid golfer I have no problem getting 18 holes in and feeling good afterwards. I highly recommend JRI. They have been a game changer."

"This is an honest review about this place. I walked in there (oak brook) the staff there was Great! They addressed my current situation with my knees, and told me what is best way to go with this, so with my insurance approval I started receiving a 5 shot process in which I just finished my last one, and I can tell you for me who has had arthritic knees for many years these past 5 weeks have made world of difference in my everyday activities and lifestyle. I’m glad I found this place, almost wished I found it sooner, but they have given me the relief that I so much needed."

"... the gel injections Dr. Hana and Dr. Arriola have administered are a miracle! I can’t say enough praise about the skill, compassion, exceptional pain management received and patient well-being. Staff are professional, helpful, fun and kind beyond words. I use water aerobics and water walking in the pool to keep limber and active — possible with these injections! Thank you Drs. Hana, Arriola and amazing Joint Relief Staff at Oak Brook and Orland Park — so very grateful. Mrs. Diane Dominguez"

"I have been having knee pain since last two years. Also been to a doctor who asked me to do surgery but I didn’t want to. I saw knee joint institute on YouTube and decided to go. At first I was afraid and very nervous but I got my first injection last week. PA Mario was my provider. He was very kind and very patient. He explained everything in detail. After talking to him I decided to get the injection. He was so gentle and sweet I didn’t even feel any kind of pain. There was so much relief after it was as if I was missing so much. I could climb up and down the stairs, go for a walk, pray on my knees. I asked for him for the rest of my injections .I had my second injection yesterday. All the staff are very kind and very sweet. I would recommend anyone with knee pain to go here. They are the best."

"Today i was taken care of by Liz and Lauren. They are super friendly and I wish I could give them 10 🌟. They literally mean what they say, walk in with pain and leave WITHOUT ANY PAIN AT ALL!!! I FEEL LIKE I HAVE MY LIFE BACK. THANK YOU"

"Generally happy with the JRI but a bit of a “factory” approach. Wish there had been more discussion about what to do after injections (walk for 30 minutes after) rather than just being handed written instructions. I finally was given that direction today after my 3rd injection. Also, not sure if X-rays taken at Ortho would have helped but we’re not requested."

"I went to the Joint Relief Institute today, the environment was very welcoming and the staff was so friendly, they got me signed in and before I knew it I was sitting in the exam room meeting the Doctor and her assistant, they took x-rays and then explained to me while showing me on the x-ray what the problems were with my knees, she then went over the procedure that was right for me, it took literally 15 minutes to complete the procedure once she started and I will tell you this, it was completely painless. After I got home I went for a walk, about a half mile, I was smiling during the entire walk because it was for the first time in quite awhile pain free, well not totally pain free my face hurt from smiling so much lol. I'm so happy that I decided to go to the Joint Relief Institute, I believe my quality of life will be so much better now. If your experiencing any kind of knee pain trust me you will not be sorry go see this wonderful staff and you too will have Joint Relief."

"This is the best place I've ever been to. Absolutely eased my pain. I can now walk, swim, and everything that I used to do before. Everyone is so passionate, friendly, and clean. I recommend this to everyone, joint relief Institute is the best. - Ms. Milton"

"I came to Joint Relief Institute in an effort to avoid knee surgery after 2 surgeons told me that I have no cartilage and need knee replacement surgery. They took X-rays during my consultation, and showed me that I actually have some cartilage in my knees. I never felt pressured by anyone there, but decided to try the treatment. Later that night after the first treatment, I was able to get up off my couch easier. The next day, coworkers commented that I was walking better. This is definitely working for me. I recommend this treatment. The entire staff is helpful, friendly and knowledgeable."

"I am a new patient to the Joint Relief Institute in Oakbrook IL. I had severe injuries to my legs while on job many years ago. Both knees where blown out and 9 compound fractures to right tibia where some of those related. Finished 30 years on the job and retried a few years ago. Left knee was replaced with titanium. Working quite well and fortunate to have such success. They Orthopedic surgeons are hesitant to attempt replacing right knee. So, a few shots over a the last few years of cortisone have helped for awhile but started having a feeling of failure or my body was getting used to them. Looking for something else to try to help the severe pain, I came upon Joint Relief Institute in Oakbrook. Made a call and appointment. The very first day was an incredible visit. First, the staff was extremely professional. They where understanding and complete spending a lot of time explaining the Joint Relief Institute goals and their methods of treatment. I was sure what I was getting involved in and the purpose of the treatments in the end. Well, (this is no kidding) I felt better after the very first shot just walking in the lot afterwords. That's no kidding! Looked forward each week for the following four shots to follow. How rare is that? My knee is far from healed and certainly doesn't visually appear like that of a male model to be sure. However, the pain is substantially less and it was covered by BCBS with no co-pay. In and out of the office at JRI in Oakbrook in no time. Absolutely fantastic staff, most important, it would be an understatement to share how effective these treatments have taken at this point. Check with me in a few months maybe and I'll update the office. I'm personally feeling pretty pumped up so fair. Best to you all and hope things work for all of you as well...."

"This has been life changing. I’ve been dealing with bone on bone for years and trying to avoid surgery. This process has allowed me to walk the golf course, go up and down stairs and everything else that I used to do. In addition, the staff are the nicest folks that I could imagine for a doctors office. Thanks to John Williams for advertising it. Cheers!"

"It’s a miracle! There’s no better way to describe my experience at the Joint Relief Institute. My knees hurt so badly that I dreaded walking up and down stairs. There was pain with every step while walking. The pain would wake me up in the middle of the night. I wasn’t expecting much from the injections I received at the Joint Relief Institute. I was desperately trying to find an alternative to knee replacement surgery. I had the first injections at about 2:30 in the afternoon. I was noticing some improvement just a few hours later. When I walked upstairs to go to bed, there was very little pain. I slept through the night and had virtually no pain when I woke up in the morning. For the first three or four days I was in shock that my knees could have improved so much. Some pain came back after four days, but my knees are still so much better than before the first treatment. I’m excited and hopeful that the improvement will last a long time after all five treatments!"

"-I am soooo PLEASED with my experience at the Joint Relief Institute !! Monica and Karen are so welcoming , energetic and informative at the front desk as you walk in . Then Ricky and the super smart , friendly PA Maria couldn’t be more helpful , informative and friendly ! Dr. Rajka was very , very informative as well and patiently answered all my questions/ concerns ! I am three treatments in for my painful right knee and am very pleased with my improvement so far ! I highly recommend this clinic ! George sanderson"

"This office is a must visit before any surgery. Everyone is professional and beyond kind from the time you walk in to the time you leave. The series of shot really helped this 85 year old too high risk for surgery. Thank you."

"The first visit my husband was in so much pain on his rt knee but his first injection gave him instant relief . He was able to walk without pain . The staff are young, good looking and professional and very friendly the office and the procedure is quick and very easy . Saving the best for last DR ARRIOLA besides speaking our language was very accommodating , very knowledgeable and to us he is JESUS disciples as a healer “ he touched and my husband was healed”. My husband came on his first visit with a cane and on his last visit without cane . PRAISE GID FOR AN INSTITUTE LIKE THIS . I have been telling my friends with knee pain to see him."

"My friend is on his 3rd shot on a 5 shot series. We are hoping these shots will solve the problem. These people are great. They bring a wheelchair out for him, walk him in and out. Very friendly and through. They explain everything. Start to finish."

"I am very impressed with the whole idea with this place, they are very organized and efficient! They are very knowledgeable about their treatment. Since the first treatment received I saw results right away! I can now walk around with my grandson (:"

"I am so grateful to have visited this place. I feel so much better even after the first injection I felt great and was able to move, exercise and walk longer. I was able to get out of bed with no help and also shop and drive. I feel like I don't even need to consider knee replacement anymore because this worked for me. The staff was awesome and welcoming. I truly recommend this place!! Dr. Hana and Perla were so concerned about how I felt and answered all my questions. The procedure in general went good."

"I have exhausted all my avenues and finally surrendered to the fact I would have to have surgery due to severe knee pain. I then received a flyer in the mail for a free screening & free consultation from Joint Relief Institute which one of the locations was listed as 600 West 22nd Street in Oak Brook which was minutes from my home. With much hesitation and no hope, I had nothing to lose and made an appointment. When I called, they asked me when and what time I would like to come in, I received the exact appointment I requested, which is unheard of. I was greeted right away with a smile and a welcoming voice, I was offered some snacks and a comfortable place to sit. The office is so well organized that they do not waste the patients time at all. From the time you walk in the door until the time you leave the consistency of care was remarkable. I was continually being updated on what as going on. I met with Maria Koularmanis the Physician Assistant who looked over my x rays and explained everything in detail to me allowing for as many questions/concerns that I had. I NEVER once felt rushed and I really felt compassion from her. Maria was also the person who treated my knees and I didn’t feel a bit of pain. I then met with Dr. Rajka who I felt like we were old friends because of how comfortable she made me feel as well. Dr. Rajka also answered all my questions and again I didn’t feel rushed with her either. I also had the pleasure to briefly meet Michael Hana, M.D who ultimately is responsible for a wonderful crew! I can’t express how grateful I am to everyone I met at that office."

"When I first went to Joint Relief Institute in Orland Park, I was having a lot of pain in both knees. I had gone to an orthopedic surgeon and was scheduled for a knee replacement. I heard about JRI on WGN and decided to try one more option before undergoing surgery. I figured that I had nothing to lose except the pain of surgery and weeks or months of rehab. I limped into the office which was very clean and staffed by an exceptionally professional and friendly staff. Dr. Hana was very kind and explained the procedure. The treatment took only a few minutes and was not very painful - kind of like getting a shot. Unbelievably, I stood up after the treatment and walked out of the office pain free. I now have treatments in Oakbrook which is much closer to my home. I recently went to Universal Studios in Orlando and was able to spend five to six hours a day walking around pain free. I can't believe how this procedure has positively changed the quality of my life on a daily basis."

"I have had a great experience so far. I came with pain. Next day I was walking again. I am a hairstylist and need to stand. Thank God for this institute. The staff is very friendly especially Vicky."

"The pain and stiffness was becoming unbearable. I couldn't get up from a chair without help. I woke up during the night with stabbing pain in both knees. Two weeks before I called the joint relief institute, I woke up one morning, hobbled into the kitchen, sat down and just cried my eyes out. I remembered the flyer that came in my mailbox from the joint relief institute and dug through my stack of mail to find it. I called that day and made my first appointment. I walked in using a cane and walked out carrying that cane. That was after just one treatment! Today I recieve my 5th and final treatment and I am doing amazing. I had scheduled knee surgery last April but my cardiologist was extremely wary due to my heart disease. Going under anesthesia with my heart was risky so I cancelled that surgery but now I no longer need it anyway. Thank you Joint Relief Institute!"

"I was in so much pain, my knee was stiff, can't stand quickly after rest. I tried many other injection places and other doctors. Nothing worked then I was about to go to knee replacement surgery but thought to try Joint Relief as last resort before surgery, and I'm glad I did. Now I can stand up and walk and climb freely. The staff are very friendly, the environment is very welcoming. People who truly care and put patients first. Highly recommended! Sad to see so many people undergo so many unnecessary surgeries, the world need to know about this place."

"The knee injections I received at JRI have helped me beyond belief. They are virtually painless and take mere minutes to administer. I’m an avid walker/hiker and was fearful that I was headed for a knee replacement due to the pain I experienced. Since starting treatment at JRI I’ve been walking 5 miles daily with no pain! I’m truly grateful for finding the Joint Relief Institute!"

"My name is Rekha my knees feel really good with the very first injection. I am able to walk for 40 mins without pain. I am able to bend my knee without painI recommended this facility to all my friends they are coming very soon:)"

"I’ve been coming to the joint pain relief center since October 2018 and I have been very pleased with the success I’ve had with my knee I’ve been able to play golf which I wasn’t able to do before and I’ve been able to walk more and I keep taking the shots and it seems to be helping a great deal I would recommend this procedure to anybody that suffering from any pain"

"Nice friendly people. The Joint Reluef Institute has helped me immensely. I walk more and farther without my cane and my pain has lessened."
